The most anticipated duo from the Mobile Suit Gundam W series has finally arrived in the High Grade After Colony (HGAC) model kit series! This new release features the Vayeate and Mercurius models, meticulously detailed with newly molded parts that capture the unique characteristics of each mobile suit, from their distinct horns to their specialized equipment and weaponry. Some components are shared with the HGAC Leo, but this kit includes a significant number of upgraded parts and add-ons to create these specific variations.

What's New in the Kit?

Beam Cannon for Vayeate:

• Main Armament: Vayeate's primary weapon is a beam cannon supported by a large backpack unit. The beam cannon is connected to the backpack via a transparent plastic energy cable, enhancing the model's realistic appearance.
• Telescopic Deployment: The backpack unit features a telescopic deployment mechanism that can be adjusted to mimic the realistic operation of the beam cannon.
• Support Arm: For added stability and structural support, a support arm is included, which can hold the beam cannon steady when the Vayeate is in standby mode.

Planet Defensor for Mercurius:

• Main Equipment: Mercurius is equipped with a 5-pair funnel bit unit, known as the Planet Defensor. When not in use, these bits attach to its backpack.
• Energy Shield: The bits can be deployed to form a strong energy shield, providing protection against almost any attack, including the powerful twin buster rifles of the Wing Gundam Zero.
• Special Stand Set: The set comes with a special stand and clear parts specifically designed to display the Mercurius with its Planet Defensor units in various dynamic poses.
