The Bandai SD Gundam Cross Silhouette #18 Tornado Gundam is a non-scale snap-fit model kit from the SD Gundam G Generation video game series. This kit marks the first-ever Gunpla release of the Tornado Gundam, a mysterious prototype mobile suit originally featured in the SNES game SD Gundam GX. Suitable for beginners, the SDCS line features simplified SD proportions with snap-fit assembly and pre-colored plastic, requiring no glue or paint. The Tornado Gundam was first revealed at the HOBBY NEXT PHASE 2022 AUTUMN event and represents a revival of the SDCS line after a multi-year hiatus.
Key Features
Dual Frame System: Includes both CS (Cross Silhouette) and SD frames, allowing builders to choose between taller CS proportions or classic compact SD proportions.
Deployable Gatling Guns: The gatling guns mounted on the arms can be swapped between normal and deployed states using interchangeable parts.
Connectable Beam Sabers: The two included beam sabers can be connected together to recreate the double-bladed beam saber attack from the G Generation games.
Movable Binder Units: Each section of the binder units on the back can be independently posed for dynamic displays.
Ball-Joint Articulation: Features ball-and-socket joints at the head, shoulders, wrists, waist, and ankles for versatile posing.
Action Base Compatible: Can be mounted on any Bandai Action Base for aerial display poses (sold separately).
