    It's been a little while since we got a non-transformable Ver.Ka kit, but here we are! The Full Armor Gundam as it appears in the Gundam Thunderbolt OVA is here in MG Ver.Ka glory! You can display the kit with or without the full array of full armor parts upon completion, and all the joints are covered in realistic vinyl material! All missile hatches and the cockpit feature opening gimmicks as well. The backpack arms have full range of motion, and a full array of accessories are included: dual beam rifle, rocket launcher, 3 beam sabers, 4 shields, and a stand are all here for the ultimate Thunderbolt piece!

    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.

      Grail kit, was not disappointed!

      This kit was an extremely fun build. The joint covers were interesting to work with. This kit was also my first time doing water slides. While they did get tedious the finished kit turned out amazing!

      Beautiful, But has stability issues

      This is an awe inspiring kit but it comes with some major flaws:

      1. The Most egregious is the stand: It's way too flimsy and extremely liable to lean; this is especially unfortunate considering how heavy this kit is with all everything attached: it'll fall under it's own weight without support {this can't stand on it's own even propped up against a wall!} I ended up ditching the provided stand with an action base 1 as well as using 2 action base 1 extendable arms (aka the main one that's used to attach the gundam to the base) to keep the gundam stable otherwise it looks to lean too far.

      2. The provided soft armor (special to this kit as far as im aware of, is basically covering arms and legs with trash bag like cover- no joke it's like it's trying to use a trash bag to cosplay as a ghost [ie take white blanket/bag and cut 2 eyeholes and voila generic ghost] but only for the arms and legs) which whilst neat and exclusive is unneeded and intrusive.

      But once you get this completed and set in your desired pose it's definitely an amazing sight!!!!

      Beautiful, but heavy

      Beautiful and strong kit, loved building it, just think it was too heavy for the stand it comes with.

      Good lookin’ ball of accessories

      Over the top with the armor gimmick, arms, shields and vinyl tubing, the Full Armor Gundam is quite the kit. For me, it’s more a kit to build, decal, topcoat, pose, then never touch it again because changing or playing with the beast can be a hassle. Great kit.

      Too Much to Handle

      Excessive, overwhelming, simply stunning. This pricy kit comes with a boatload of accessories. Unlike other kits, you can attach nearly everything all at once. Its a tad hard to stand on it's own.
