MG 1/100 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED GM SNIPER CUSTOM (MOBILE SUIT Z GUNDAM Ver.)
The “MG/100 GM Sniper Customer” will be available at The Gundam Base from April with the "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" color scheme!
It features the sharp styling of a Master Grade while staying true to the original design.
The distinctive head includes a visor that can open and close perfect for close-range combat!
Its iconic sniper pose can be recreated thanks to a wide range of articulation in the arms and chest.
You can even fold and carry its main weapon, the "R4-Type Beam Rifle"!
Various weapons are included such as the right-armed "folding handgun".
RG 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED GUNDAM EPYON [SPECIAL COATING]
The "RG 1/44 Gundam Epyon" is now available at The Gundam Base from April in a "Special Coating" version featuring a combination of plating and extra finish!
This kit features a locking mechanism at the hip joints. This design balances transformation and articulation, allowing for sturdy construction and wide-range movement.
A wide range of expressive poses are possible due to the additional articulation point on the upper wrist and forearm.
The shin has a retractable ball joint built into it which enables a flexible neck movement.
The thigh articulation point creates a smooth, pterosaur-like neck motion.
The cable connecting the Beam Sword and Mount Latch uses a lead wire.
*Please note that variations in plating may occur due to the painting process. We appreciate your understanding.
