P-Bandai: RG 1/144 Gundam Astray Gold Frame
Release Date: August 2016
Price: 3,024 Yen
From the manga Gundam SEED Astray and the graphic novel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray B, the Gundam Astray Gold Frame piloted by Rondo Gina Sahaku finally joins the Real Grade lineup.
As one of the earliest Astray variants, the Gold Frame receives a faithful Real Grade adaptation with newly molded parts for its massive 350mm "Gáe Bulg" rail bazooka, a weapon originally developed for the Duel Gundam. While the Gold Frame was able to wield the powerful weapon, its right arm could not withstand the tremendous output and short-circuited immediately after firing. Bandai Spirits even recreates this memorable scene by including a damaged right arm as part of the kit, a small but impressive detail that fans of the series will appreciate.
The Gold Frame's story begins on January 25, C.E. 71, during ZAFT's assault on the Orb colony Heliopolis. As the Alliance's prototype Gundams were being stolen, the Astray Project was thrown into chaos. To keep their work from falling into enemy hands, Orb officials ordered the destruction of the Astray development facility.
Does anyone know what exactly changes when they reissue certain kits? I can't really tell, unless it's just the price
ReplyDeleteNothing changes, they're just rereleasing the same kit as the last time.
Deleteprobably no difference other then the logo turning from red to blue for the Bandai logo on the bottom right corner of the box
DeleteThere are no changes to the kit itself, being P-Bandai they're originally limited production runs/releases, so eventually they run out. Down the line, like in this example, they "reissue" them AKA make another production run of the kit so people can have another chance to procure a copy for themselves.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know where I can buy this kit? I've checked newtype, usagundamstore, hlj, omocha and bandai usa
