Expert Review
This is the 1/144 Option Parts Gunpla 14 (Gunbarrel Striker). It's a kit that pulls out just the gunbarrels from the EG Gunbarrel Strike Gundam [Gundam Breaker Version] that was included in the Gundam Breaker 4 Collector's Edition back in 2024 — sold separately this time around. Unlike the gunbarrels that came with the HG 105Dagger + Gunbarrelback in 2004, this is a brand-new sculpt for 2024.
That said, comparing it to the 2004 version, it's not as different as you might expect. (See the review photos above.) The sculpt, molding details, and gimmicks are pretty much the same, though the overall size feels slightly larger. At a glance, they're similar enough that you'd almost have trouble telling them apart — but you can spot the quality difference in things like the color separation on the rear verniers and the clear canopy parts used instead of seals.
As for the gimmicks, the gunbarrel deployment is done via a removable system, and the nozzle section attaches separately. You can detach the gatling and add a handle to use it as a standalone weapon, and the nose folds up to mount onto an MS — same as before. It's a weapon that pairs especially well with Strike-based units, and it's compatible with the HGCE Strike/Dagger L and the EG Strike Gundam. Using the included joint parts, you can also mount it on kits with two backpack holes, like the HGUC/EG First Gundam.
So overall, it's a nice accessory kit that works great with 1/144 Strike-series kits. It's a little disappointing that for a new release, it doesn't look drastically different from the HG version from 20 years ago — though that's probably because the original HG gunbarrels were already pretty well done. Either way, the gunbarrels were never easy to get your hands on, so I'm sure plenty of people will be happy to see them finally available as a standard release. :-)
