    The long-awaited second model of GARUDAGEAR, a series well-received for achieving both its transformation mechanism and articulation, is finally here!

    The new model features a wide array of newly sculpted parts including the head, chest, shoulders, outer forearms, feet, main wings, tail, nose, Blade Rifle, shield, and Twin Blades. Additionally, numerous protruding clear parts are placed on the nose, shield, and wings, giving the model a rough, more villainous feel compared to the sleek, beautiful silhouette of SYSTEM01. Inspired by tropes in robot anime of rival mecha, the primary color of the model is red and the clear parts are orange, which stands in stark contrast to the white of the first model. Enjoy the freedom of poses possible thanks to the transforming frame shared with SYSTEM01 and its high articulation.

    Each joint uses the robust 5mm connection joints/points for better stability as well as expanded compatibility with the M.S.G GIGANTIC ARMS and HEXA GEAR series, sold separately, for an even better experience. The exterior features a plethora of hard points (3mm connection points), which can be concealed with detail covers when not in use to retain both the beauty and customizability of the model. The Variable Frame system, with its exceptional freedom granted by a multitude of 3mm and 5mm connection joints, also makes for an excellent base for an original model. Combine the model and/or frame with weapon units from our large selection to create a one and only transforming mecha!
