Premium Bandai has revealed the HGUC 1/144 Dom Tropen [Unicorn Ver.], bringing the Principality of Zeon’s desert warfare specialist from Mobile Suit Gundam UC straight to your GunPla lineup. Deployed during the assault on Torrington Base, this heavy mobile suit now arrives in a form tailored for collectors who appreciate both presence and accuracy.

Molded in colors that closely match its on-screen appearance, this version captures the Dom Tropen as seen in Gundam UC. A standout inclusion is the set of newly sculpted hand parts designed specifically to hold a hand grenade, letting you recreate that memorable OVA moment with ease. These expressive hands open up dynamic posing options, giving the kit a stronger sense of motion and personality on display.

To enhance authenticity, the kit also features a foil sticker for the mono eye, faithfully reproducing its distinct pink glow. Combined with its solid proportions and detailed build, the Dom Tropen delivers a presence that feels true to its animated counterpart.

The loadout is just as impressive, offering a full range of weapons and accessories:

• Raketen Bazooka
• 90mm Machine Gun
• Sturmfaust
• Heat Saber

With multiple wrist parts and armaments, this kit is built for versatility, whether you prefer grounded combat stances or action-heavy displays.

Originally derived from the MS-09 Dom, the MS-09F/TROP Dom Tropen was developed alongside its base unit to address the harsh realities of desert and tropical warfare. Standard Dom units were prone to accelerated wear in extreme climates, leading Zeon engineers to pursue a specialized variant optimized for durability and sustained performance in these environments. Drawing from the MS-09F Dom Funf and field data from the YMS-09D Dom Tropical Test Type, the Dom Tropen incorporated improvements in aerodynamics, maintenance efficiency, and modular expandability. Much like the MS-09G Dwadge, it reflects Zeon’s push for high-performance ground combat units adapted to specific battle conditions.
