FM 1/100 Calamity Gundam (Clear Color)

The Gundam Base Limited

Release Date: February 10, 2024

Price: 5,500 Yen

The Gundam universe gets a fantastic addition: the "Full Mechanics 1/100 Calamity Gundam" in an enticing clear color version. As part of the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" series, this model kit is more than just a collection; it represents the evolution of Gundam model engineering.

Exclusive Release Details:

This is not just ordinary kit; it is a Gundam Base Limited Edition. What makes it genuinely unique is its availability. Starting February 10th, it will be available exclusively at Gundam Base Tokyo and Gundam Base Fukuoka. Remember, this is a limited-time offer, so it will be highly sought after by fans and collectors both.

The Calamity Gundam, which shares the same molds as its regular release counterpart but has been turned into a Clear Color version, is a visual feast. The transformation of typical molding colors into bright, clear hues results in a visually pleasing finish. The contrast of transparent orange and clear blue not only enhances its aesthetic appeal, but also highlights the design's outstanding qualities.

Advanced Features & Gimmicks:

Head and Collar Dynamics: The model has a unique head mechanism that extends from the body. This not only improves its cosmetic appeal, but it also features a built-in system to reduce the buffer between the head and collar, resulting in fluid mobility.

Articulated Abdomen and Groin: The abdomen features a swing mechanism that allows for a variety of movements. The groin axis' downward swing allows for dynamic poses and wide stances, bringing the Gundam to life.

Interactive Front Skirt and Torso: The front skirt's revolutionary design allows it to lean forward as the torso rotates. This, paired with a front block that lifts to cover gaps when the fuselage warps, contributes to its realistic portrayal.

Mobile Arms and Shoulders: The arms are attached to shoulder armor via ball joints, allowing for great movement. Shoulder swings, double-jointed elbows, and wrists help to increase mobility and allow for a variety of dynamic positions.

Exclusive Weapons and Shields:

"Todesblock" Handheld Weapon: This model contains the classic "Todesblock," which comes with a movable grip that swings forward, contributing to the weapon's realistic appearance.

"Kaefer Zwei" Shield: The Calamity Gundam comes with the "Kaefer Zwei" shield, which includes a swingable gun barrel. This may be mounted to the forearm via joint pieces and features a 2-barrel 115mm ram cannon, enhancing its battle-ready image.
