Take control of the Capital Army’s ultimate combat machine, thanks to the modern plastic engineering of the High Grade (HG) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The VGmm-La01 Kabakali stands out as one of the most massive and intimidating mechas in the series, designed specifically for the final showdown. Its heavy, streamlined silhouette is adorned with a stunning dark colour scheme combining anthracite grey plastic with contrasting touches of purple and bright red. At 1/144 scale, this kit perfectly captures the futuristic and original aesthetic devised by Sunrise studio for this series.
A unique experimental arsenal and magnetic mechanisms:
The kit’s greatest strength lies in its exceptionally versatile armament. The box contains two retractable Beam Rings that can be launched to slice through enemies from a distance. To faithfully recreate the anime, the kit includes flexible cables and transparent support parts, allowing the rings to be displayed suspended in mid-air. The mecha is also equipped with its powerful Beam Rifle and two thermal daggers housed in its feet.
A deployable, articulated flight structure:
The Kabakali’s back features an imposing propulsion pack fitted with large side armour containers. These massive panels are mounted on independent articulated arms and incorporate an opening mechanism to deploy the combat rings or act as defensive shields against enemy fire without restricting the movement of the arm joints.
