INFORMATION
The online event "HOBBY NEXT PHASE 2023 SPRING", which delivers the latest information on BANDAI SPIRITS plastic models, will finally be held! This time, more than 30 new product information scheduled to be released from July to September 2023 will be announced. Check out the information on the "RG 1/144 Gundam Epyon" in this article!
"Gundam Epyon" from "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing" is commercialized as a completely new RG model! Equipped with a new movable gimmick optimized to swing the beam sword powerfully and naturally! We have adopted an RG original arrangement with a pterosaur as a motif.
The 2-axis + 1-axis swing movement of the torso and the forward expansion movement of the abdomen improve the affinity when bending forward. A lock mechanism is adopted for the hip joint. Both deformation and movement are compatible, and it is possible to swing robustly and widely. The movable axis added to the upper part of the wrist and the forearm roll movement make it possible to add a wide range of expressions to the pose. The shoulder armor expands, allowing you to raise your arms while keeping the shoulder position. It also supports powerful poses that raise the beam sword with both hands. The blade follows the movement of the knee and does not interfere with natural kneeling. In the wing part, the small wings are interlocked and deployed according to the movement of the wings. The height of the wings can be adjusted by moving the base shaft.
In the MA form, the horns and mouth can be opened to express facial expressions. A drawer-type ball movement is built into the shin to realize the movement of the neck. The movable axis of the thigh creates a supple movement of the neck like a pterosaur. In addition, the heat rod uses an advanced MS joint. Realizes a sharp form like a sword and flexible movement that draws a spiral. The cable that connects the beam sword and the mount latch uses a lead wire.
