    I beg to differ.
    The original HGUC DOM is no slouch. You can build it as either the Dom or Rick Dom, It has the weapons for both versions, and you can move the mono-eye
    There is also the HGUC DOM TROPEN Sand Brown Ver. This guy looks amazing, has good articulation, and comes with enough weapons to arm a 5 man squad of zeeks
    Even the MG DOM 1.0 is one of the best old style MG kits

      Well, a ground dom really only needs to crouch and hold a bazooka, and the hguc delivers far more than that. However, even with all the accessories, the dom reopen cannot move its eye. On a dom type, that's bad enough to knock it down to a bronze teir.

      The HG Dom Tropen has been reissued a few times, including just recently. You should see if your e-commerce site of choice has any in stock. I just got a couple from USA Gundam Store, but I think they may be sold out by now.

    Recently built the RX78 origin. Figured out the hard way that the chest piece snaps in place and once you've chosen either the early or middle type chest, you're stuck with it. I tried taking it off, but I stopped before I broke it. Same goes for the tube handles on the shoulder. I can't seem to pull them apart since they snap in place. Thankfully, the wrist cuff are fine and can be swapped easily. Is anyone else having the same problem, or can you swap those parts freely?
