    Alright, we admit that we took a total stab in the dark at the designation of this still-technically-non-existent mobile suit, but won't that be so cool if we're exactly right?? (Editor's note: NAILED IT.)

    The next Thunderbolt kit is a variation on the Gundam Ground Type from season 2 of Gundam Thunderbolt! It comes with a beam rifle, shield, beam javelin, beam sabers with effect parts, and various backpack arms for a nice selection of posing options upon completion!

    Collectibles and Figures Guide

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.


    What you need
    Display:

    Some figures include stands, but others may require an additional stand for better stability.
    Recommendation: Action Base 5

    Protective Cases:

    If you wish to keep your collectibles in pristine condition, consider using acrylic display cases or protective boxes.

    Camera:

    Use a good camera or smartphone with proper lighting, like a ring light or softbox, for clear and detailed photos.

      The mass-produced Gundam without a V-Fin

      The kit was a very fun build from start to finish and is heck a ton of fun to pose especially with the beam javelin. The tip of the javelin where the beam is is two parts all in pink meaning you'll have to paint the tip to make it look white (which is no problem for me) but is still fun over all, I just wish I didn't break the hand meant to hold it. I loved to mess around with this thing (although the lack of the v-fin still bothers me) and makes me wish I had more so I could make a small battalion like in Gundam Thunderbolt

      Solid kit

      This is a great looking Gundam when you put even minimal effort into it. The funnels are annoying to clean up, as with all Thunderbolt kits, but it's a very solidly engineered kit otherwise. I highly recommend purchasing the decals as well, they make a huge difference on an already great looking kit.

      Good kit with a decent amount of stuff

      The HG Thunderbolt kits are probably some of the best kits out there for the one year war in my opinion. I just wish that Bandai would make more kits from the manga/anime.

      Another great Thunderbolt kit

      I bought this guy on a whim because I'm an absolute sucker for anything Thunderbolt related, but I am so glad I picked him up. Good articulation, plenty of accessories; a true joy to build and pose.

      Nearly perfect

      This was an amazing suit to build. It was easy and quite enjoyable. The colors are great, and the head was a nice change. The only thing that made this suit not 100% perfect was the stickers on the head (head crest and the chin). Other then that the suit is perfect and a must have.
