HG 1/144 YMS‑08B Dom Test Type

As part of the experimental mobile suit programme in the early days of the One Year War, the Prototype Dom (YMS‑08B) Test Type represents Zeon’s push to develop desert‑capable, high‑mobility ground assault units. Within the HG “The Origin” line, this kit captures the machine’s rough experimental flair and imposing proportions.

Key Features

• 1/144 scale High Grade model kit by Bandai, featuring full snap‑fit construction with minimal glue required.
• Distinctive low‑profile torso, broad slider skirt armour and oversized heat‑pipe legs that pay homage to the test‑bed design of the Dom lineage.
• Clear mono‑eye cover and accessible internal frame reveal for display versatility.

Accessories

• Large Hyper Bazooka for devastating ranged fire‑power.
• Heat Saber stored within the rear waist thruster may be drawn and posed.
• Optional “turbo‑mode” leg skirt expansions can be attached for display of the testing configuration.
• Marking stickers with Prototype Zeon insignia and stage‑test serial numbers.

Articulation & Gimmicks

• Broad‑hinge joints in the hips enable dynamic kneeling and wide stance—ideal for heavy weapon deployment poses.
• Sleeved heat‑pipe legs articulate independently, enabling the Dom Test Type to crouch or walk realistically.
• The rear booster unit can swing and tilt, allowing the suit to be displayed both in assault posture and static test mode.

Why This Kit Is Desirable

This kit stands out for its combination of unique design, experimental mobile suit theme, and strong engineering in the HG 1/144 format. A must‑have for fans of Zeon prototype units and builders seeking a visually dominant yet affordable model to display.
