MG 1/100 MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon, Premium Bandai

 MG 1/100 MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R is now available as model kit Gunpla Master Grade Premium Bandai.

MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon

The MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Dragon (MBF-P02 ガンダムアストレイ レッドドラゴン) is a variant of the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame, as featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R photonovel. This specialized mobile suit is operated by Lowe Guele, a member of the Junk Guild.

The Gundam Astray Red Dragon is a modified version of the Astray Red Frame, enhanced with the addition of a Flight Unit and armed with three Caletvwlchs and the Ddraig Head. The Caletvwlchs are versatile handheld equipment, each equipped with Mirage Colloid scattering devices that grant the mobile suit various unique abilities.

The unique placement of the Caletvwlchs on the Flight Unit gives the impression of a dragon's wings and tail, which is the inspiration behind the mobile suit's name. The Ddraig Head is a specialized head unit designed to complement the Caletvwlchs, enhancing the suit's control over Mirage Colloid particles.

In addition to these new equipment additions, the Red Dragon retains its iconic "Gerbera Straight" katana and beam sabers. Like the standard Red Frame, the Red Dragon can manipulate energy to create an energy ball discharged from the hand plugs as a powerful ranged weapon.

The Gundam Astray Red Dragon combines the versatility and combat prowess of the Astray Red Frame with innovative technology, making it a formidable mobile suit in the Gundam SEED Destiny Astray R storyline.

The "MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Dragon" from "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY ASTRAY R" is now available, and it's a must-have for fans and collectors.

This model kit faithfully reproduces the distinctive body shape of the Red Dragon, including the powerful Caletvwlchs, flight unit, and driving head, all with new modeling. The kit is designed with a wide range of joint parts, enabling you to pose the Red Dragon in various dynamic stances. It also features a clever gimmick that suspends the beam rifle and shield on the flight unit for added display options.

The Caletvwlchs can be rearranged to replicate both the S mode and G mode configurations. Additionally, it can be separated into a build knife, build cutter, and build torch. You even have the option to connect the swords together using connecting parts.

The Ambidextrous Halberd, formed by connecting the Caletvwlchs via connecting parts, can be wielded as a massive sword. The Build cutter, Caletvwlchs's dagger part, can be operated as a single unit or recombined into a twin sword. The Build knife, Caletvwlchs's longsword club, can simulate a twin sword setup with single operation and connection parts.

The wide range of motion at the base of Caletvwlchs allows for frontal shooting poses, and a dedicated display base is included to support the armament and MS main unit display. Note that a dedicated display base is required to hold the Caletvwlchs S mode and Ambidextrous Halberd with one hand.

To add the finishing touches to your Red Dragon model, a newly designed water slide decal set with markings for the Gundam Astray Red Dragon is included. This kit provides a comprehensive and exciting building experience for Gundam enthusiasts and collectors alike.
