Take control of the God of Death from Operation Meteor thanks to the modern plastic engineering of the High Grade (HG After Colony) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell immediately stands out thanks to its gothic and aggressive silhouette. The kit perfectly captures the machine’s menacing aesthetic with its dark military livery combining deep midnight blue, matt black and contrasting white, yellow and red details. At 1/144 scale, this model benefits from a brand-new, modern mould that surpasses the older retro editions by offering smooth articulation and excellent colour separation.
Functional Active Cloak wings and an XXL energy scythe:
The true strength of this model lies in its iconic equipment. The mecha’s back features the bat-wing-shaped Active Cloak armour system. These large panels are mounted on independent articulated arms and incorporate a functional mechanism: they can close completely over the robot’s torso to simulate its stealth mode, or open majestically to release its arms. For combat, the kit includes its formidable energy scythe, the Beam Scythe, fitted with a double-bladed design sculpted from striking translucent green plastic.
A retractable assault shield and great mobility:
In addition to its retractable scythe, the Deathscythe Hell is fitted with the Buster Shield on its left forearm. This shield features movable side clamps that can be opened manually to reveal a small, removable green energy blade. Thanks to Bandai’s modern joint design at the hips and shoulders, the figure can easily wield its large scythe with both hands to strike dynamic, ultra-stable combat poses.
