Gundam Avalanche Exia (1/100 scale)

Appears in the sidestory Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The GN-001 Gundam Exia can be equipped with the optional high-mobility equipment hs-A01 Avalanche. Though the GN particle propulsion system native to the Exia allows for relatively high speed and acceleration, the unit is actually incapable of matching or exceeding certain aircraft and spacecraft in flight. The Avalanche was developed for the purpose of eliminating this issue.

The optional equipment consists of a series of large-capacity GN particle condenser attachments, which act to store the particle production of the GN Drive for release in a single 10-minute burst of ultra-high speed. Higher output is possible, but the strain it places on the body of the pilot becomes severe. As the condensers require a full hour to charge, repeated use of the burst function is impossible. The standard Seven Swords armaments can be mounted behind the Avalanche equipment, and quickly deployed for use.

"Avalanche" is so named because its power supposedly engulf everything completely in its path, like a real avalanche. The "hs" stands for "high speed," and "A01" stands for "Avalanche Unit-01."

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Ver.Ka (MG1/100)



Unicorn Mode & Destroy Mode

Veteran mecha designer Hajime Katoki again brings his style to Bandai's popular Master Grade (MG) series, this time with his design of Unicorn Gundam! The titular mecha from the "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn" serial novel comes sharply molded on colored runners and is capable of being switched between Unicorn Mode and Destroy (NT-D) Mode. In Unicorn Mode, the all-white Mobile Suit has a horn projecting from its forehead that resembles that of the mythical creature for which it was named. When switching to NT-D Mode, its armor slides open to reveal its psychoframe, the four blades on the shield expand outwards, its unicorn horn opens, and a different face is revealed. Its armaments include four beam sabers, a beam magnum, hyper bazooka, and shield. Sheets of foil stickers, Gundam decals, and marking stickers are included. Build two kits and display them side by side, one in each mode--both designs look too cool to display only one at a time!

DETAILS:
-Unicorn Gundam from "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" drawn by Harutoshi Fukui is became a kit as Ver.Ka in MG series.
-White colored "Unicorn Mode" and "Destroy Mode" with psycho frame can be expressed.

MSN-04 SAZABI METALLIC COATING Ver.


This design was the MSN-04 Sazabi, and it was constructed by the Luna-based contractor Anaheim Electronics. Despite its large size and heavy armor, the Sazabi was equipped with enough thrusters and verniers to make it extremely maneuverable compared to mass-produced frontline mobile suits. It was equipped with a relatively high-output generator, but most of its power was used to fire its abdomen-mounted mega particle gun, whose beam was wide enough and powerful enough to destroy several mobile suits with a single shot. The Sazabi's armament was rounded out by a pair of beam sabers, a large shield carrying three missiles and a large, hand-carried beam tomahawk, and a beam shotrifle, which operated like a beam rifle version of a shotgun.

DETAILS:
-MS Sazabi from " Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" is now available as MG metallic coating version.
-Exclusive water slide mark for its metallic body is included.
-The hatch of the funnel container can open and close and funnel can be detached. All funnels can be developped according to the setting.

-The beam saber and beam Tomahawk from which even the second joint is trained to the beam shotgun and the wrist by a movable hand can be firmly maintained.

Nu Gundam metallic coating version does look amazing standing as pair with MSN-04 Sazabi (also the metalic version).

I would definately recommend to buy this product even you have already got standard Nu Gundam!

Whoever love these 'plamo' this is the must have item!! to complete your collection of amuro vs char!

RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 (MG 1/100)


The third mobile suit developed under the Earth Federation's top-secret "Project V," the RX-78 Gundam series saw final assembly and rollout at the Side 7 colony under the supervision of engineer Lieutenant Tem Ray. Three prototypes were constructed, although only one unit, the RX-78-2, survived a Zeon attack on Side 7 when Project V was discovered by Zeon Lieutenant Commander Char Aznable. The RX-78-2, having been commandeered by Ray's young son Amuro, fended off the attack and was transferred to the assault carrier White Base. Amuro Ray would continue to serve as the Gundam's pilot for the remainder of the One Year War, being White Base's mobile front line of defense.

The ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam is the ZAFT equivalent to the Earth Alliance's GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam. The Force Silhouette pack provides the Impulse Gundam with increased mobility in space, as well as atmospheric flight on Earth. The Force Silhouette pack is stored on the Minerva's dedicated hangar for the Impulse Gundam and is sent out onto the field via a computer-controlled flyer craft. The flyer delivers the pack to the Impulse Gundam and automatically returns to the Minerva. The Force Silhouette pack docks with the Impulse Gundam via a laser lock. The only additional armament carried by the Force Silhouette pack is a pair of beam sabers.
