Remember Japanese model maestro Popogorilla (@changumu55), who previously wowed us with his incredible Pokémon-themed Gunpla builds like the HG Mega Gardevoir and HG Kyogre?
Well, he's back with a fresh creation! This time, he's taken several Gunpla and 30MS kits, disassembled, repainted, and reassembled them to craft a stunning rendition of Ash's fan-favorite Pokémon from "Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon," Greninja. His ingenious concept and the flawless execution of the final product are earning him major props once again.
Just like before, Popogorilla utilized various parts from Gunpla and 30MM kits. This Greninja build needed to capture that distinct ninja vibe, complete with its iconic long tongue and frog-like limbs. Finding the perfect components and figuring out how to piece them all together was a true puzzle, pushing Popogorilla's creativity to the max.
Assembly complete! Doesn't it already look pretty spot-on?!
He then primed it as a gray model, making it easier to fine-tune the colors later.
He also prepped a color scheme concept to finalize his painting choices.
Once painted, the pieces were reassembled in sequence.
And of course, what's Greninja without its signature "Water Shuriken"? Popogorilla ingeniously crafted it by disassembling parts, using a shield, and adding clear beam sabers – the result is absolutely epic!
With everything attached, this Greninja exudes a cool, mechanized aura, almost like a future Paradox Pokémon. The overall look is undeniably awesome, and the mechanical creature vibe gives it a distinct futuristic feel.

This marks Popogorilla's sixth venture into combining Pokémon with Gunpla, and from selecting the Pokémon to sourcing the materials, he's clearly thrilled with the outcome this time around.
Feeling inspired to try a custom build yourself? Grab some Gunpla parts and give it a shot – you might just create something even more awesome!
