Bandai Gundam Gunpla
Guncannon Cucuruz Doan’s Island Version (1/144)
This High Grade 1/144 Guncannon Cucuruz Doan’s Island Version kit brings a unique take on a classic mobile suit into the Gundam Gunpla range. Based on its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island, the design features subtle differences in colour and equipment that set it apart from the standard Guncannon. The kit is moulded in colour and designed for snap-fit assembly, allowing for a clean and straightforward build without the need for glue.
The articulation allows for a wide range of poses, including lower and more grounded stances that suit its heavy support role. The kit includes alternative backpack parts to represent different versions seen in the film, giving some flexibility in how the finished model is displayed. With its distinctive look and variation options, it works well both as a standalone build and alongside other Universal Century units.

History:
The Guncannon is a support-type mobile suit used by the Earth Federation during the One Year War, designed to provide heavy firepower alongside units like the RX-78-2 Gundam. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island, the Guncannon appears with subtle variations that reflect its deployment in a different operational context. Its role as a mid-range artillery unit made it an important part of early Federation tactics. The Doan’s Island version highlights how even standard machines could be adapted for specific missions, giving it a distinct place within the wider Gundam timeline and making it a compelling subject for Gunpla builds.
