ROBOT魂 SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Anchor Gundam from Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust is now available as action figure Gunpla Robot Damashii [ RoDa ] Premium Bandai.

Anchor

The Anchor (アンカー) stands as a unique custom mobile suit, carving its distinctive presence within the pages of the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust manga. At its helm is the skilled pilot Ash King, propelling this machine into the annals of combat history.

In the milieu of the Age of the Warring Space States, a period marked by conflict and ingenuity, the Anchor emerges as a masterpiece of engineering. It is a prime embodiment of the "mixing build" philosophy—forged from the remains of obsolete mobile weapons, with salvaged components forming its very essence. Notably, the Anchor is a testament to resourcefulness, as it incorporates parts originating from the F89 Gundam F89, a precursor within the Formula Project's experimental endeavors.

This towering figure stretches over 18 meters in height, bearing the unique legacy of the Gundam F89's early creation during the Formula Project's infancy. In a time when balance was often compromised within mixing build mobile suits, the Anchor shatters convention. Painstakingly restored by seasoned engineers, it stands as an exception, evading the customary balance issues that plague its contemporaries.

A symbiotic connection with the Crossbone Gundam units is evident through the thruster unit adorning the Anchor's back. This visual nod intertwines its fate with the broader lineage, bridging the gaps between eras and uniting the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam universe.

Diverging from its peers of the era, the Anchor defies norms by wielding the elusive beam weaponry. This rare capability thrusts it into a league of its own, a testament to the relentless pursuit of progress even within an age marred by conflict.

The Anchor's saga, interwoven with the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust narrative, encapsulates the spirit of innovation amid adversity. As Ash King pilots this formidable creation, the legacy of ingenuity, restoration, and adaptability resounds. With each stride, each maneuver, and each blast of its unique weaponry, the Anchor etches its mark within the echelons of history, echoing a time of struggle and triumph in the boundless cosmos.

Introducing the ROBOT魂 SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Anchor Gundam—a vivid embodiment plucked from the Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust saga. The enigmatic protagonist, Anchor, takes center stage within the ROBOT SPIRITS realm, inviting enthusiasts to delve into a tactile narrative of innovation and combat.

Anchored by the colossal beam saber Ikarimaru, this iteration of Anchor Gundam melds form and function. Dynamic in design, Ikarimaru's handle boasts a folding mechanism, a phenomenon translated through the art of part replacement. The narrative expands further with the ability to affix a beam blade to Ikarimaru, a union of elements that serve as an ode to the original concept's versatility.

However, the spectrum of capabilities is not confined to mere blades. Within the arsenal of accessories, the spotlight falls upon a mighty blade—a colossal beam blade that elevates Ikarimaru's latent prowess. With each swing, each flourish, the original design's performance takes center stage, a manifestation of power.

The left arm's pièce de résistance lies in the rotating shield—a dual-purpose marvel that envelops the fist and metamorphoses into a formidable striking instrument. Meticulous attention to detail resounds within the faithful reproduction of the right chest's transformation, a sequence that yields the deployment of two heat ceramic bullets.

In the symphony of intricacies, the ax gun assumes a pivotal role. It intertwines seamlessly with the anchor body, facilitated by a bullet feed belt adorned with soft components—a masterful union of aesthetics and engineering. A beam blade bestows an added layer of combat variety, embracing the core ethos of the Gundam universe.

Even the lower extremities are not devoid of innovation—the pile bunker, a signature element, comes to life through the orchestrated dance of attaching and detaching parts. This dynamic narrative of combat unfolds with each piece of the puzzle, each articulation, and each pose.

And with the inclusion of a replacement face, a deeper dimension of storytelling is unveiled. Anchored within the ROBOT魂 SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Anchor Gundam is an embodiment of character, prowess, and artistry—an invitation to engage, to explore, and to craft your own odyssey within the realm of the Crossbone Gundam: Dust universe.
