Imai – B-1342-300 – Nikick (Commander Type) (Super Dimension Century Orguss)

Description:

The Imai 1/72 scale Nikick Commander Type, model number B‑1342‑300, first appeared in 1983 as part of the Super Dimension Century Orguss collection. This variant upgrades the standard Nikick with commander-specific markings that distinguishes it as a mid-series elite unit. The box art depicts the commander Nikick in signature colors—dark gray limbs offset by vibrant yellow chest and head details—emphasizing its rank-status within the Orguss universe.

Inside the sealed box, runners are molded primarily in light gray plastic, including all major body components—arms, legs, torso, head—as well as its distinct rifle and commander gear.

Builders will need glue and paint—no adhesives or finishes are included. The assembly process is straightforward, with secure joints at hips and shoulders, though fixing with cement is necessary due to the absence of modern polycaps. Minor part cleanup on seams, especially around leg and shoulder joins, ensures better fit and appearance. The decal sheet delivers rank insignia and warnings. Typical auction prices range from US $16 to $25, depending on box condition and completeness .

As a mid-series variant, the commander Nikick adds character to any Orguss display lineup—offering improved visual fidelity over the standard kit, with a manageable build complexity for modelers familiar with vintage kits.
