EG 1/144 Gunbarrel Strike Gundam (Gundam Breaker Ver.) - A Close Look

The GunPla community has been anticipating and celebrating the introduction of the Entry Grade 1/144 Gunbarrel Strike Gundam, which will be included in the upcoming Gundam Breaker 4 Collector's Edition. This release not only honors the Gundam universe's rich history and ongoing innovation, but it also marks a significant milestone in the merger of real-world GunPla model creation and virtual gaming.

The Gunbarrel Strike Gundam, a popular variant in the Gundam universe, has been reinvented with new molds for the Gunbarrel Striker pack and connectors. This not only revitalizes a traditional style, but also adds a previously unseen level of versatility. The updated Striker pack is designed to transform into two additional varieties, providing collectors and modelers with unique customization options. This adaptability highlights GunPla's changing nature, where innovation and tradition intersect.

Taking a closer look, the newly designed equipment also includes armaments used by the Buster Gundam, such as the 94mm High-energy Rifle and 350mm Gun Launcher.

The Entry Grade Strike Gundam is molded in a neon "Gundam Breaker" color scheme, a nod to the collector's edition theme of Gundam Breaker 4. This colorful palette is enhanced with decals, allowing fans to add even more neon touches to their kit. The combination of colors and decals not only make this edition visually appealing, but it also exemplifies Bandai Namco's creative and fan-focused design philosophy.

The Collector's Edition of Gundam Breaker 4, which includes the Entry Grade 1/144 Gunbarrel Strike Gundam, is exclusively available through the official Bandai Namco online shop. This collector's item is priced at $89.99 USD and is only available for a limited time. It is available for both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game. The rarity and limited availability heighten the prestige and urgency for collectors and fans, making it a must-have for series aficionados.

Gundam Breaker 4 represents the 6th installment in the Gundam Breaker series and promises to be a groundbreaking release. With a commitment to delivering a never-before-seen experience to gamers and GunPla enthusiasts, the game seeks to distinguish itself from its predecessors, including "New Gundam Breaker" and "Gundam Breaker Mobile," which, despite their unique offerings, did not achieve the same level of success in the gaming industry. Gundam Breaker 4 aims to rectify this by focusing on what fans love most about the series while introducing innovative gameplay elements and integrating the physical joy of GunPla building with the digital world of gaming.

Gamers may also expect to see the Entry Grade 1/144 Gunbarrel Strike Gundam (Gundam Breaker Ver.) in the game, with parts becoming available as the story progresses and by purchasing the game's season pass. (Season passes and additional units are also available for the game's Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Editions.)
