Straight from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the legendary 01 Gundam makes its long-awaited debut in the High Grade series!

Equipped with an impressive arsenal, including the Hyper Bazooka used in the series, the 01 Gundam delivers both versatility and high mobility. Its design emphasizes close-quarters combat, supported by the Core Block System that not only enhances survivability but also preserves operational data when the unit is destroyed.

• Wide range of articulation for dynamic posing to replicate movements from the movie.

As the starting point of the legendary RX Project, the 01 Gundam marked the Earth Federation Forces’ first step toward creating the RX-78 series. Its black-and-white color scheme and visor-style head unit, reminiscent of the RX-77 line, gave it a distinctive and experimental look. Built with close combat and high maneuverability in mind, it carried a loadout that included two Beam Sabers on its backpack, a Beam Rifle, a Hyper Bazooka, and a Shield.

In addition, the 01 Gundam incorporated the Core Block System, allowing the Core Fighter to detach as an escape craft and secure vital combat data even if the mobile suit was destroyed. This combination of survivability and innovation laid the foundation for the future development of the RX-78 Gundam series.
