HG IBO #02 EB-06 Graze Standard Type/Commander Type

The Graze is Gjallarhorn’s latest mass production Mobile Suit, filling out their ranks during the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Gjallarhorn derived Graze’s Frame from the Calamity War-era Valkyrja Frame, using more accessible materials to reduce production costs. The Graze Frame also supports additional equipment packs, allowing the Mobile Suit to fill various combat roles. The Graze parallels the Universal Century MS-06 Zaku II, as both Mobile Suits share the “06” model number, a single head sensor, a green color scheme, and high production numbers. The Graze’s inexpensive production and combat versatility made it the perfect Mobile Suit to fill out the ranks of Gjallarhorn’s expansive military. This model kit provides one Graze unit with a selection of parts to customize your Graze unit.

Here’s what Bandai included alongside the Graze for accessories:

• GR-W01 120mm Rifle
• GR-H01 9.8m Battle Axe
• Thruster Unit x2
• Waist Adapter for Thruster Unit

Articulation –

This model was the first HG IBO model to feature the Graze Frame! The Graze Frame provides a satisfying and straightforward build with double-jointed knees, swiveling thighs, and chest articulation, giving the model a more dynamic look. HG IBO models such as the McGillis Schwalbe Graze also use the Graze Frame and therefore share their internal construction with the Graze Standard Type/Commander Type. While reusing parts may seem like cost-cutting, it’s in line with Post Disaster Timeline lore and makes customization incredibly easy! You can swap in new armor panels from other HG IBO models sharing the Graze frame to give your Graze unit a unique appearance.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

Like the Graze’s Universal Century sister, the MS-06 Zaku II, it sorties with a standard loadout, including a basic ballistic rifle and an ax-shaped melee weapon. Unlike the Zaku’s Heat Hawk, the Graze’s GR-H02 9.8m Battle Axe does not feature a superheating blade to slice through its targets. Instead, the weapon relies purely on the force of impact to disable its targets. This model also includes optional thrusters for the Graze. You can use these along with some purple paint to recreate the space type variant of the Graze, or you can attach them to the unit’s waist, as seen in Gjallarhorn’s initial assault of CGS on the surface of Mars.
