The High Grade Universal Century 1/144 scale RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium" from the 13-episode OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory will be getting a limited reissue via The Gundam Base Online Shop in Premium Bandai starting June 21st.

The kit was first released in March 2002 with the price tag of 28,000 before taxes. It has received numerous regular retail runs even up to this day.

At its release it was considered the largest HGUC 1/144 scale model kit Bandai had ever made before they released the massive Neo Zeong in June 2014.

This special release is part of Bandai Hobby's "HGUC Decisive Vote 2023" where they would release older HGUC model kits based on voters' liking. A set time for each batch will be announced on the official voting website.

The kit is featured with open hatch gimmick for its weapon container that holds its various accessories including the Gundam GP-03 bazooka, shield, and beam rifle. The hatch also carries a pair of micro missile pods, and a pair of 3-Tube Large Missile Pods.

Its claw like arms at the front can be extended to hold a large beam saber that came with the kit. It also comes with HGUC 1/144 Gundam GP-03S Stamen, which can be connected to the main unit.
