HGAC 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero  (Clear Color ver.)

The Gundam Base Limited

Release Date: January 25, 2025

Price: 1,760 Yen

Celebrate Gundam Wing’s 30th Anniversary with the HGAC 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero Clear Color Version

The Gundam Base Japan has announced the release of a clear color version of the HGAC 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero to commemorate Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's 30th anniversary.

The Wing Gundam Zero, also known as Wing Zero or simply Zero, first appeared in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. It was the prototype Gundam designed by the five engineers behind the Tallgeese mobile suit. Developed around A.C. 175, Wing Zero marked a revolutionary leap in mobile suit design, utilizing cutting-edge Gundanium alloy and integrating the devastating ZERO System cockpit interface. This system, while offering unmatched combat capabilities, forced pilots to strive for "perfect victory," leading the engineers to seal the project due to its overwhelming potential for destruction.

In A.C. 195, Quatre Raberba Winner, one of the five Gundam pilots from Operation Meteor, unsealed the plans and completed Wing Zero, creating a mobile suit capable of transforming into Neo Bird Mode for high-speed cruising and wielding a Twin Buster Rifle powerful enough to destroy a space colony in a single shot.
