GUNDAM - GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE - ANGEL DIONA & ICARUS FIGURINE SET
This set of static plastic figures from the FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE range is produced by Banpresto. Released specifically to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original manga, this set brings together the two major support mecha units from the series: the Angel Diona and the Icarus. True to the collection’s style, these replicas feature interactivity with other products in the range. The Angel Diona features a dorsal container arm designed to hold the ‘Muramasa Blaster’ weapon and can be equipped with the Peacock Smasher accessory (available in the Team B sets, sold separately). The larger Icarus unit can simultaneously house and display all 6 Mobile Suits from the Team A and Team B sets (item numbers 250931 and 250932, sold separately) to recreate its troop transport function.

Origin and universe of the licence
Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone: Steel 7is a manga written and illustrated by Yuichi Hasegawa, set within the Universal Century (UC 0136) timeline. The story centres on the desperate ‘Steel 7’ operation, during which seven elite pilots attempt to prevent a devastating nuclear strike by the Jupiter Empire against Earth. In this military context, the EMS-VSX1 Icarus serves as a heavy atmospheric and orbital transport platform (mother ship), essential for rapidly delivering the resistance team’s prototype weapons and mechas to the site of the space battle. The Angel Diona complements this system as a tactical escort and supply unit.
