Nerd Builds: HG GM Sniper K9

Time for another Nerd Builds~! Praise the Lord that I have a new build to share with everyone once a week. Also thanks to Tamo and my friends at Robot4Less in Fullerton, CA. Today's model is the Renato Brothers custom 1:144 high grade GM Sniper K9 from the Gundam Build Fighters series. With this series quickly coming to a close (I guess they're doing something unusual and finishing the series out at 25 episodes) there will be many new Build Fighters models coming out in the upcoming months. But the GM Sniper K9 was loads of fun because of it's sheer uniqueness. Let's get into it.

How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the gigantic sniper rifle for the head?

torso unit

head unit with EXAM stickers on\

shoulders and arms

upper body

feet and legs

These pistol holsters take up some room on the pegs that connect the knees to the thighs, which means they're prone to falling out if handled too briskly.

waist unit

almost done but not quite.

lots of weapons, be especially impressed by the gigantic sniper rifle on top.

"Do you feel lucky...Punk?"

This GM was an awesome build! I think once again because it is just so unique. I don't get into GM's very often so I don't know much about them, but that's why this build was so unique and fun. Articulation is fair, but my only concern once again are the holsters on the legs. because the extra plastic is inserted between the connections between the knee and the thigh, the legs fall out if you play around with them too much. But otherwise it's golden. The K9 unit is so interestingly unique. Different guns can be fitted onto the head unit of the K9 and the transport unit can carry up to 4 troops which do come with the set. This is just the most well thought out set that Bandai has produced in the Gundam Build Fighters series, and is fully worth your money.

Blessings~!
