HG Seed MSV #03 ZGMF-1017M Ginn High Maneuver Type

The ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type is a modified variant of the ZGMF-1017 Mobile Ginn designed for high-mobility combat. ZAFT used the ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type to extend the GINN Series’ production run while they waited to complete their next-generation Mobile Suit, the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ. The ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type utilizes a new backpack equipped with two massive thrusters for drastically improved maneuverability and top speed. The ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type would also require updated internals to support its increased performance. With such a heavy focus on mobility, the ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type was only assigned to ace pilots within ZAFT’s military, including Mikhail Coast and Rau Le Creuset.

Included alongside the HG GINN High Maneuver Type for accessories:

• JDP2-MMX22 Experimental 27mm Armor Assault Rifle
• MA-M3 Heavy Blade

Articulation –

The HG GINN High Maneuver Type borrows most of its construction from the original HG SEED #06 Mobile GINN, released in 2003! This model features double-jointed knees, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The HG GINN High Maneuver Type does not feature a built-in 3mm attachment point or any Action Base Adapters, leaving builders to use the generic U-shaped brackets included with most Action Bases. The HG GINN High Maneuver Type includes small sheets of color correcting and marking stickers to help recreate the Mobile Suit’s on-screen appearance right out of the box!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The HG GINN High Maneuver Type includes the JDP2-MMX22 Experimental 27mm Armor Assault Rifle as its primary weapon. This weapon fires significantly smaller caliber rounds than the ZGMF-1017 Mobile Ginn‘s weapon. The HG GINN High Maneuver Type also includes an MA-M3 Heavy Blade for close-quarters engagements. Builders can attach this weapon to the Mobile Suit’s side skirt for storage or connect it to the JDP2-MMX22 Experimental 27mm Armor Assault Rifle to serve as a bayonet.
