Another week – another model kit from BANDAI 
. This time it is going to be the High Grade 1/144 GN Archer – a small mecha with distinctive feminine exterier (as if to reflect the fact that it is being piloted by Soma Peries), that makes its appearance in the second half of the second season of Gundam 00 series.
The box is branded with number 29 in BANDAI’s sequence for the series:
Now that the second season of ‘Gundam 00′ has seen its final episode aired, we should expect the rest of the series’ mecha plastic kits to follow soon. Let us review the ones whose anime prototypes were built with “fake” GN drives, got beaten a lot by Celestial Being, and had the surviving units handed over to various nations of the “united” world… By now you must have realised I am talking about the GN-X
Giving you the review of the next kit back-to-back with Rick Dom II was an easy decision to make – after all, this one is Dom II’s predecessor that was for some reason released 2 years later.
Now, what is it about MS-09 Dom and MS-09R Rick Dom that’s written on the box? Will you find TWO kits inside? Well, not really – the bulk of 115 plastic parts in the box will build a body that is pretty much the same for both mech. Only 15 out of those are unique for MS-09 Dom and 16 for Rick Dom.
