The Bandai HGTWFM #23 1/144 MSJ-R122 Demi Barding is a High Grade model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. This heavy-support variant of the Demi Trainer was developed by Burion as a prototype concept model featuring enhanced armor, an enlarged Baori Pack backpack, and upgraded weapon systems. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or paint for a complete build. The Demi Barding is piloted by Chuatury Panlunch and plays a key role in the series' climactic battles, including the assault on Quiet Zero.
Key Features
-
Detachable Baori Pack: The signature large backpack unit can be separated and displayed independently, featuring articulated beam cannons that can fire in multiple positions including over-the-shoulder and under-arm configurations.
-
Leg-Mounted Thruster Storage: The thrusters attached to the legs can swing forward to store the beam sabers, replicating the in-series holster gimmick.
-
Two-Handed Beam Rifle Grip: The beam rifle includes a movable auxiliary grip, allowing the kit to hold the weapon with both hands for dynamic rifle poses.
-
Ball-Joint Articulation: Ball-and-socket joints at the head, neck, waist, and manipulators provide a wide range of posing options for this heavy-support mobile suit.
-
Action Base Compatible: Both the Demi Barding and the individually displayed Baori Pack can mount onto Action Base stands via standard connector pegs.
-
Snap-Fit Assembly: Color-separated parts allow for an accurate build straight out of the box with no glue or paint required.
