The XM-06 Dahgi-Iris, piloted by Annamarie Bourget, is a state-of-the-art unit designed specifically for command and high-intensity combat reconnaissance. This retro model from the original classic range celebrates the sophisticated industrial design of the Crossbone Vanguard faction.
Built to a scale of 1/100, this model showcases the compactness characteristic of the miniaturised Mobile Suits of U.C. 0123. The kit features meticulous detailing on the armour, notably the adjustable rear thrusters (movable nozzles) mounted on its dorsal wings to optimise the aerodynamics of its poses. The central element of the face incorporates a magnificent clear blue plastic part to recreate the lens of the main optical sensor. The kit includes an imposing physical shield adorned with the faction’s heraldic emblem.
