Straight from the hit feature film *Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom*, this high-tech combat mecha is the ultimate unit piloted by Orphee Lam Tartare, leader of the “Black Knight Squad”. Designed to cement the Foundation’s military dominance, this next-generation Mobile Suit strikes fear into its opponents with its sharp lines, impenetrable dark armour and impressive energy wing system. Its aristocratic design, blending golden details with elements reminiscent of futuristic knight’s armour, makes it the ultimate symbol of power within the Cosmic Era timeline.
Bandai’s manufacturing quality is evident in the colour-in-the-mass plastic sprues, cut with surgical precision for a simple snap-fit assembly. The model offers exceptional freedom of movement thanks to the “SEED Action System” articulation system, specially developed to reproduce the most extreme aerial combat poses and sword-fighting dynamics seen on screen. Equipped with its immense light-effect cape and heavy arsenal, this highly detailed kit stands out as a centrepiece to enhance any Gunpla model collection.
