Add a spectacular touch to your display cabinet with Bandai’s High Grade Universal Century 1/144 ORX-005 Gaplant model kit (EAN code: 4573102633682). Originally developed by the E.F.S.F. Titans Laboratory as a high-altitude interception prototype, this transformable Mobile Suit immediately stands out thanks to its distinctive emerald green and midnight blue colour scheme, its imposing red crest on the head and its massive forearm shields incorporating mega-particle cannons.
The kit’s major selling point lies in its ingenious, comprehensive transformation system, faithful to the anime’s specifications. Without the need for complex tools, the mecha folds its limbs and head to transform into a formidable, streamlined combat fighter, designed for high-speed atmospheric assaults. To support the imposing size and weight of the dorsal thrusters in this configuration, Bandai provides a dedicated e-sport display stand, allowing the Gaplant to be displayed in dynamic and aggressive flight poses. Entirely moulded from coloured injection-moulded plastic, this premium kit assembles without glue or paint for a clean and satisfying result.
