The Bandai RG #31 1/144 XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 is a Real Grade model kit based on the protagonist mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam manga series. As the fifth entry in Bandai's Gunpla Evolution Project with a focus on "Extreme Detail," this compact kit packs an impressive level of gimmicks and color separation into one of the smallest RG kits in the lineup. Recommended for intermediate builders due to its small, detailed parts and Real Grade-level complexity. The XM-X1 is piloted by Kincade Nau (Seabook Arno) and was used by the Crossbone Vanguard in their fight against the Jupiter Empire.
Key Features
-
Detachable Core Fighter: A newly developed Advanced MS Joint allows the Core Fighter to transform and dock into the mobile suit's back, accurately replicating the in-universe gimmick.
-
Heat Radiation Face Open Mode: The face unit converts to reveal heat dissipation vents beneath the chin, recreating the iconic open-mouth look from the manga.
-
Anti-Beam Coating Cloak: Includes a posable cloak with pre-molded combat damage detail that drapes over the entire mobile suit for dramatic display.
-
Extensive Weapon Loadout: Beam Zanber and Buster Gun combine to form the Zanbuster, with additional brand markers, heat daggers, beam sabers, beam shield, and scissor anchors.
-
Selectable Eye Camera: Translucent eye parts offer a choice between standard dual-eye sensors or the signature single-eye with eyepatch configuration.
-
Foot-Mounted Heat Daggers: Heat dagger blades can attach to the leg sole units, recreating the Crossbone Gundam's dangerous melee kicks.
-
Kincade Nau Pilot Figure: Includes a 1/144 scale figurine of pilot Kincade Nau - the first Crossbone Gundam kit to include one.
