P-Bandai: RG 1/144 Force Impulse Gundam Deactive Mode

Release Date: July 2026

Price: 3,300 yen

From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, the Force Impulse Gundam in its deactivated mode joins the Real Grade lineup as an intricately detailed 1/144 scale kit that showcases the mobile suit’s complex engineering and distinctive modular design. The kit faithfully reproduces the Force Impulse Gundam’s deactivated color scheme through carefully molded plastic parts, giving it a clean and realistic appearance that closely reflects its look in the series.

The Force Impulse Gundam is the Impulse Gundam equipped with the α Force Silhouette. While the original Impulse Gundam is designed as a versatile general-purpose mobile suit, the Force Silhouette dramatically enhances its performance by providing high-output thrusters and large wings that greatly improve mobility in both gravity and zero-gravity environments. This equipment also allows for atmospheric flight, expanding the Impulse Gundam’s operational flexibility.

The Force Silhouette adds a pair of beam sabers to the Impulse’s standard armaments, giving the Force Impulse exceptional combat capability in both close-quarters and ranged engagements. Thanks to its outstanding balance of mobility, firepower, and versatility, the Force Impulse became the most commonly deployed configuration of the Impulse Gundam. Its aerial combat performance is even said to rival that of the Freedom Gundam. Like the original Impulse, the Force Impulse retains the same Variable Phase Shift (VPS) armor color scheme.

True to the Real Grade concept, the kit faithfully recreates the Impulse Gundam’s combining mechanism, allowing the Core Splendor, Chest Flyer, Leg Flyer, and Force Silhouette to merge and form the mobile suit. As part of the RG line’s real-world research approach, the Force Silhouette was designed with aircraft-like realism in mind, featuring detailed textures, mechanical gimmicks, and wings that can fold to the rear.

The kit incorporates the Advanced MS Joint, enabling a wide range of articulation for dynamic action poses. A swing mechanism in the waist significantly improves the range of motion, while the knee armor slides in conjunction with leg movement to maintain natural proportions. The forearms feature a twisting structure on a separate axis from the elbow, and the shoulder armor rotates independently to reduce interference between parts during posing.
