Description
The Bandai HGGS #12 1/144 MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame is a High Grade Gundam SEED model kit based on the prototype mobile suit from the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray. Piloted by Junk Guild member Lowe Guele, the Red Frame is known for its lightweight foaming metal armor and iconic Gerbera Straight katana. This kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders with snap-fit assembly and color-molded parts requiring no glue or paint. Originally released in November 2003, this was the first HG kit produced for the Gundam SEED Astray series.
Key Features
- Chrome-Plated Katana Blade: The Gerbera Straight katana features meki (chrome-plated) parts for a metallic finish without painting
- Signature Armament: Includes the full Red Frame weapon loadout with beam rifle, shield, two beam sabers with translucent beam effect parts, and the Gerbera Straight with scabbard
- Ball-Joint Articulation: Multiple ball-and-socket joints in the neck, shoulders, wrists, thighs, and ankles for posing flexibility
- Collapsible Backpack: The beam saber and backpack assembly can collapse down to the rear waist, replicating the in-universe equipment mounting design
