P-Bandai Gunpla Plastic Model GUNDAM ARTIFACT PRO FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam from Mobile Suit Variations

The “Artifact” series of collectible toys, which has been running since 2021, welcomes a new addition to its professional-grade lineup. This highly detailed articulated model kit stands approximately 10 cm tall and is constructed using a combination of plastic and alloy materials, delivering both durability and premium display quality.

Designed with an industrial product-inspired interpretation of the MS (Mobile Suit), the model features multi-layered joints that provide enhanced articulation and dynamic posing possibilities. The first release in the series, the Full Armor Gundam, also includes a unique transformation gimmick that allows users to remove the exterior armor parts and recreate the standard Gundam form.

Each package contains one pre-painted, semi-finished model kit along with one piece of soda-flavored gum. The main body is made primarily from ABS and alloy materials, while selected parts are produced using PVC. The completed model measures approximately 100 mm in height and 50 mm in width. Distribution is handled by the Bandai Candy Division.

What is Bandai Gundam Artifact Pro?

Bandai introduces the Gundam Artifact PRO series as a premium evolution of its highly popular collectible model kit lineup. Combining intricate mechanical detailing with a compact display size, the series is designed for collectors and hobby enthusiasts who appreciate professional-grade craftsmanship in a small-scale format. Each model features a stylized industrial interpretation of the Mobile Suit design, enhanced with layered armor structures, metallic alloy components, and advanced articulation systems that allow for dynamic posing despite the compact approximately 10 cm size.

The Gundam Artifact PRO lineup also emphasizes display quality and engineering innovation, offering pre-painted, semi-finished kits that balance accessibility with collector appeal. Signature releases such as the Full Armor Gundam showcase unique transformation gimmicks, allowing exterior armor parts to be removed to reveal the standard Gundam configuration underneath. Manufactured using ABS, alloy, and select PVC components, the series delivers a premium texture and mechanical realism that distinguish it from traditional Gunpla kits, making it a standout addition to the expanding world of Gundam collectibles.
