The Bandai MG #100 1/100 WD-M01 Turn A Gundam is a Master Grade model kit based on the titular mobile suit from the anime series Turn A Gundam, set in the Correct Century timeline. Designed by legendary industrial designer Syd Mead, the Turn A Gundam features one of the most distinctive and unconventional silhouettes in the Gundam franchise, often recognized by its signature mustache-like V-fin. This kit is recommended for intermediate to advanced builders familiar with inner frame construction and detailed assembly. As the 100th kit released in Bandai's Master Grade line, it holds a special place in Gunpla history.
Key Features
-
Opening and Closing Chest Hatch: The chest compartment opens to reveal a hollow interior, faithfully recreating the suit's unique design where weapons and cargo are stored inside the torso.
-
Interchangeable Chest Cross Parts: Includes both anime-accurate blue and Syd Mead original white chest cross pieces, allowing builders to choose their preferred color scheme.
-
Articulated Leg Thruster Vanes: The leg thrusters feature movable vane structures that replicate the I-Field Beam Drive system seen in the anime.
-
Fully Articulated Fingers: Each finger on both hands features individual articulation for expressive weapon-holding and open-palm poses.
-
Comprehensive Weapon Loadout: Comes equipped with a beam rifle, two beam sabers, a Gundam hammer, and a shield. The beam rifle and shield can be mounted on the back for storage.
-
1/100 Scale Figures: Includes a Loran Cehack pilot figure and a cow figure - a charming reference to the anime's 8th episode.
-
Foil Stickers and Dry Transfer Decals: Includes foil stickers and a sheet of dry transfer decals for custom markings and finishing details.
