Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam #42 – Mobile Fighter G Gundam Model Kit

The long-awaited Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam brings the iconic first machine of Domon Kasshu to the Real Grade lineup with unprecedented detail. This kit is a significant leap forward in 1/144 scale engineering, specifically designed to capture the athletic, martial arts-inspired movements of the Mobile Fighter G Gundam series. Utilizing a specialized internal frame, this model achieves a level of natural, human-like articulation that allows for the series' most legendary fighting stances.

Seamless Super Mode: The Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam

The defining feature of the Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam is its seamless Super Mode transformation. Unlike previous versions that required parts-swapping, this Real Grade kit utilizes integrated sliding gimmicks and expansion mechanisms in the head, shoulders, and legs. When deployed, the shoulder covers reveal detailed internal textures, and the leg armor opens to expose the intricate vernier thrusters. The feet even feature an extension gimmick in the toes and rotating ankle covers to provide the extra stability needed for dynamic, high-action displays.

Equipped for the ultimate showdown, the Bandai RG 1/144 Shining Gundam includes a specialized hand part for the legendary "Shining Finger" attack, molded in a translucent material to simulate its glowing energy. The kit also features a triple-axis neck joint and a torso swing mechanism to add life and personality to its poses. Accompanied by two beam swords of varying lengths and a comprehensive sheet of realistic decals, this kit is an essential centerpiece for any G Gundam enthusiast at Hobby Collectors Australia.
