    The Full Armor Gundam from the Thunderbolt comic is getting re-released with accurate anime colors! If you missed this kit the first time around, you definitely won't want to pass it up again--especially not after watching December Sky!

    The classic Full Armor Gundam just packs a lot of extra armor; this one not only does that, but also carries it in the form of four shields! This one looks absolutely killer from its angular and sharp look to its ZZ-esque cannon and massive backpack. Let's not forget its four shields that allow it to transform into fortress mode!

    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.

      Very Cool and Packed Kit

      A really cool looking kit with a lot included. Also the special look of the joints did make for a slightly more unique building experience. Did have some issues with things like the halves of upper arms not closing flush and the back shields not being as posable as I'd want, but still very cool.

      Absolutely Amazing All Around

      This somehow surpassed my expectations and felt like a RG kit without an inner skeleton with all the detail and gimmicks this kit comes with.

      this build was awesome to have completed. I'm looking to start on larger kits that stand taller.

      Great product - seems like an RG kit.

      Great HG kit with all the realistic decals and all it looks like a RG quality kit - the gimmicks - Thunderbolt series are top of the line HG kits. Just be careful with the 3mm joint on the bottom because it doesnt have a poly-cap connecter and can get stuck it the weak base that it comes with. it got stuck so hard that it broke of the 3mm male connector part and made the base useless. but other than that its a great kit that comes with the base . Truly amazing kit to have.

      Bang for your buck

      It’s a amazing kit all around. With this kit you’re able to get a bit of complexity with quality. I enjoyed building it since you are able to add a lot of detail into it to make it look like a real grade. It comes with 11 runners and a stand is also included!! I would recommend this to people that are starting to get into gundam more since it isn’t too hard but will take some time. The gundam thunderbolt kits are really good quality and I would recommend most of them to people that are starting to get more series with gundam.
