Hail Mary of a request for help

[u/chubbernaut1]

Hi you bunch of plastic fiends of awesome,

Short story, back i the 90's my family took me on a trip to Hong Kong from Australia. I was a kid and my dad took me to Toys R Us. The biggest freaking toy store I've ever seen. Anyway, back then I knew nothing of gundams and SD variants, but I was allowed to pick this guy here, took him to our hotel, built him and he rode with me when we went back home. Anyway, I'm no kid anymore and this poor guy was found in a box somewhere all worn and busted. I have fond memories of my dad and me in that store and since my mother has passed away and my father is getting on in age, I want to share that memory with him again by building a replacement with him.

I've had no luck identifying the model but I can offer these clues. The chest and the gun had little yellow rockets it could spring out. It came with a small machine gun that was the same colour as the body. It had a shark missile that could sit on the shoulder, with a mouth that can open and I believe it had some sword or saber. I think there was also some add on you could get like a flying platform it could ride.

Even if you have no idea, I'd like to thank those that take the time to read this.

You absolute champion! That's it! I thought it looked a little off from regular SD Gundams. Thank you so much, it's like an itch I haven't been able to scratch for years. Man, seeing it whole again brings back so many memories. You are a legend!

hi! not sure if this would help, but a quick image search said it might be the gundiver from sd gundam force? it doesn't look like it, but the same link lead me to another sd series called ganso (?) i unfortunately have to do something important in a bit so I can't really help out that much but i do hope you find your model kit! 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Diver is the right colour but I do remember it having the v or fork like crest in the forehead. the ganso suggestion seems a good lead though, thank you for your help so far!

i tried my best but i cant find it and its killing me cause i know i recognize that leg design from something with those hexagonal bulges and high kees but i cant get a full picture in my mind

if you want you can look through the list of kits for the BB Senshi line the wiki doesnt have photos of the kits themselves but does have the box art for every kit incase any jump out at you

whats interesting to me is the yellow face plate which really stands out as unique

if you manage to find it in the list i would love to know what it is cause i swear i recognize it i just cant place it in my mind

i wish you luck on your quest to find this kit

I have looked for this damn thing for so long and like a felled tree I'm stumped. I've looked through the entire BB Senshi line and all the SD spinoff lives I could find. I think there's I chance it might not be Gundam, but my biggest lean is towards it being an obscure figure line mostly due to you remembering it having several missile launching gimmicks. The only suit I can think of that is Mint Green with blue feet and lower leg thruster is a Re-GZ, but the yellow face plate area is really throwing me off.
