Beargguy F

Following the huge success of the Beargguy and the Beargguy III, this new Beargguy F is used by Mirai Kamiki in Gundam Build Fighters Try. It is similar to the original Beargguy III with a different color variation and a new weapon: the Puchigguy. The Puchigguy is attached to the Beargguy F via the Chair Striker on its back. Both the Beargguy F and the Puchigguy can be attached via a joint part.

This is a huge announcement post this month! I’m too spoilt for choice this month really, with so many great mobile suits releasing as well as the cute Beargguy F that even my mom wants! If I could only have one kit though, it’ll either have to be the Crossbone X1 which I really like or the new Darth Vader kit. Its really great to see plastic models for the Star Wars line too! I hope it’ll succeed so we can see more fighters and characters appearing in the future!
