The Bandai MG 1/100 AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal is a Master Grade model kit based on the protagonist mobile suit from the first generation of the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE anime series. This kit features enhanced surface detail designed by original mechanical designer Kanetake Ebikawa, with added intricacies to the head, shoulders, waist, and legs for a refined MG presentation. Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders who enjoy inner frame construction and detailed articulation. Originally released in February 2012, the AGE-1 Normal was the first MG kit from the Gundam AGE series and introduced the swappable finger gimmick used in many subsequent MG releases.
