Featuring all the same snap-fit assembly we've come to expect from Bandai, bits and bobs that into the average MG kit, plus stickers for warnings all over, it's sure to be an attention-grabber in anyone's home. Okay, I admit, I'm stretching for things to say. It's a Ball. It's a Master Grade Ball, to be specific. There are no clear panel parts as shown in the photos from Shizuoka. Excellent detail all over, though, and of course it's armed with 180mm cannons.

Its debut may have been modest in the first Gundam series, but after mobile pod Ball met designer Hajime Katoki for Gundam 0083, this rotund mech got a lot more respect. Now Katoki's design is brought to 3-D perfection in this highly detailed Master Grade kit! Over 100 pieces, plus polycaps and clear "Gundam Stickers" with various in-scale warnings and markings on them; everything is molded in color and snaps together for ease of assembly. Once built and clad in its armor, the posable Ball can be displayed on the included stand and base (you get figures of two standing mechanics and a seated pilot, too).
