Description
The Bandai HGUC #212 1/144 RMS-117 Galbaldy Beta is a High Grade Universal Century model kit from the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam series. This completely new mold captures the Galbaldy Beta's distinctive silhouette with densely detailed panel lines, visible frame components on the shoulders, and a mono-eye sensor. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or painting for a color-accurate build. The Galbaldy Beta is a mass-produced Earth Federation mobile suit developed from the Principality of Zeon's MS-17 Galbaldy Alpha, piloted by Lila Milla Rira and Jerid Messa during the Gryps War.
Key Features
- Detailed Inner Frame Sculpting: Shoulder armor incorporates visible inner frame details for a realistic mechanical appearance, with chest underside details reproduced using separate parts.
- Enhanced Arm Articulation: A bicep swivel rotation axis is added to the upper arm, improving the range of poseable action poses beyond standard HG construction.
- Double-Jointed Limbs: Both elbows and knees feature double-jointed construction, and the waist can rotate a full 360 degrees for dynamic posing.
- Shield Sliding Gimmick: The shield reproduces an expansion and contraction gimmick through swappable parts.
- Gelgoog-Type Beam Rifle: Includes a newly-molded beam rifle closely resembling the MS-14 Gelgoog's weapon, with a dedicated trigger-finger right hand for secure posing.
- Action Base Compatible: Features a 3mm attachment point underneath the waist for mounting on any Action Base without an adapter.
- Minimal Sticker Requirement: Only foil stickers are included, with excellent color separation reducing the need for painting.
