EB-08s Iok's Reginlaze
The Graze family's easy-building bones dressed up as a khaki sniper support unit nobody asked for, and I kind of love it anyway.

This is a genuinely well-engineered HG wearing an obscure paint job, and that combination is exactly why it is worth talking about.
The Reginlaze line inherited the Graze's clever hip and shoulder work, so it moves better than its price and part count suggest. Where it loses points is presentation: this is a Bandai online exclusive built around a support character's khaki-and-yellow color scheme, and a good chunk of that scheme comes from stickers and paint markers rather than molded plastic. If you already like the IBO aesthetic and want a support-type railgun build instead of another Barbatos, it delivers real value. If you need vivid out-of-box color separation, it will disappoint you a little.
Best for: IBO completionists and Graze-family fans who want a support-type railgun build instead of another Gundam-type protagonist kit
What it is
The Reginlaze is Iok Kujan's khaki-and-yellow support variant of the Graze successor line, built for long-range fire instead of melee, and Bandai leaned into that with the loadout: a long-distance railgun rifle with a long barrel option, a pair of ammo packs, and two gauntlets that all mount cleanly to the waist and forearms for storage. Building it feels like building a Graze with a new coat of paint and a bigger gun, which is not an insult. The frame carries over the double-jointed neck, the swinging shoulder blocks, and the ball-jointed side skirts that made the Graze line a sleeper favorite, so the articulation range is better than a support unit really needs, and I appreciated that.
The catch
This was a Bandai Hobby Online Shop P-Bandai exclusive, so it never had a wide retail run and secondhand or reseller pricing runs higher than a comparable mainline HG. The bigger catch is color: Iok's khaki and yellow scheme is not fully molded in, and Bandai's own build notes point builders toward Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paint plus a topcoat over the stickers to get the finished look right. Skip the extra work and you get a kit that reads flatter and more sticker-shiny than the box art promises. None of this is a structural flaw, it is a paint-budget and patience tax on top of an otherwise solid frame.
Who it's for
Buy this if you already collect the IBO Graze/Reginlaze family, want a railgun-toting support unit to stand next to your Barbatos or Gusion, or specifically like off-beat side-character kits that most builders skip. Skip it if you want a kit that looks fully finished straight off the runners with no marker or paint work, or if you are hunting for the cheapest possible entry into HG IBO, since the exclusive pricing works against you there. For anyone building an IBO shelf army, though, this is a smart, characterful pickup once you accept the paint step.
The build story
What the build is actually like, and the engineering worth knowing about.
The build itself follows the familiar Graze-successor assembly logic, so gate placement and part fit are on the easier, more forgiving end of HG engineering, nothing here fights you the way some HG frames do. The railgun rifle, its long barrel option, and the twin ammo packs all snap onto the waist and rear armor cleanly, and the two gauntlets attach without any fuss. Where the build asks more of you is finishing: Bandai's own instructions call out marker and paint work plus a topcoat over stickers to nail Iok's khaki and yellow scheme, so budget extra time if you want it to look right rather than just look assembled.
Articulation is the real reason to care about this kit. The head runs on a double ball-and-socket neck, the shoulders and roughly two-thirds of the torso blocks can swing forward and back, elbows bend to about 120 degrees, and the side skirt armor pieces are ball-jointed so they get out of the way of leg movement instead of blocking it. That is a genuinely strong range for an HG, and it carries the whole kit even when the paint job is doing less work than you would like. For part-count value, the compatibility with other Graze-family option parts (waist boosters, the sixth option set's multi-weapon pack, eighth option set open-palm hands) means this kit plugs into a bigger accessory ecosystem instead of sitting isolated.
Lore & trivia
- 01Iok Kujan's Reginlaze is a support-type customization of the EB-08 Reginlaze, the mobile suit line that succeeded the Graze in Iron-Blooded Orphans season 2.
- 02The kit was a Bandai Hobby Online Shop (P-Bandai) exclusive, which is why it never had the retail availability of mainline HG IBO releases.
- 03In the anime, Iok launched in this unit during the battle against Tekkadan and the Dawn Horizon Corps and tried to shoot down Mikazuki Augus's Gundam Barbatos Lupus, missing before the ancient mobile armor Hashmal reactivated and devastated his squad.
- 04The kit's joint part B12 lets builders attach waist booster parts from the separate HGI-BO Graze kit, and it accepts the Knight Blade from the EB-06r Graze Ritter kit as well.
