The Bandai HGUC #233 1/144 Me02R-F01 Messer Type-F01 is a High Grade Universal Century kit based on the main mobile suit of the anti-Earth Federation organization Mafty from Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash. Developed by Anaheim Electronics using technology from the AMS-119 Geara Doga and MSN-04 Sazabi, the Messer Type-F01 is a mass-produced heavy mobile suit designed for guerrilla warfare. This is a beginner-to-intermediate snap-fit kit that requires no glue or painting, with parts molded in color for an accurate appearance straight out of the box. At approximately 16cm tall when built, this is notably larger than most other HG kits.
Key Features
Poseable Mono-Eye: The mono-eye sensor can be repositioned by removing the upper head piece, allowing varied expressions for display.
Internal Torso Articulation: A moveable gimmick inside the fuselage provides an ab crunch function for dynamic forward-leaning poses.
Sliding Side Armor: The side armor features a slide gimmick that allows for greater range of leg movement and wider stances.
Double-Jointed Limbs: Both the elbows and knees feature double-jointed construction for deep bends and natural posing.
Rear Skirt Stabilizer: The back skirt armor opens up via articulated arm joints to replicate the flight-mode stabilizer configuration.
Pivoting Shoulder Armor: Spiked shoulder armors can pivot upward to avoid interference with arm articulation.
Multi-Point Shield Adapter: The included adapter allows the large shield to attach to either forearm facing sideways or backward.
