Take control of Anaheim Electronics’ most sophisticated secret prototype with the official Master Grade model kit of the RX-78GP03S Gundam Stamen!
The third unit in the Gundam development project, the GP03S “Stamen” is specifically designed to serve as the piloting core for the gigantic mobile weapon platform Orchis, together forming the formidable Dendrobium. Piloted by Kou Uraki against the Delaz fleet, this Mobile Suit immediately stands out thanks to its aerodynamic hip thrusters and dorsal stabilisers. Now it’s your turn to take on the role of engineer with this first-class Master Grade version, which brilliantly captures the sleek aesthetics and mechanical details of the anime.
This high-end model showcases Bandai Hobby’s technical ingenuity. The kit’s absolute highlight lies in the faithful reproduction of its folding manipulator arms (Folding Arms), concealed within its forearms. These extendable mechanisms deploy smoothly to simulate the retrieval of weapons from the space fortress’s storage system. The inner frame offers excellent joint flexibility, particularly at the waist and in the extendable rear skirts. The model is fully pre-coloured with a clear separation of the body panels (matt white, navy blue, red and yellow). A separate, fully transformable miniature Core Fighter escape pod is included to slot into the centre of the robot’s torso. To complete the display, the kit includes a full arsenal: the Beam Rifle, the reinforced Folding Shield, two lightsabres and the imposing, foldable Folding Bazooka.
The building experience focuses on pure mechanical enjoyment and precision. No messy glue – just high-precision components that snap together naturally using Bandai’s tried-and-tested Snap-fit technology. The parts detach cleanly from the sprues to ensure crisp finishes and a perfect fit. Once completed, this 18 cm tall model impresses with its hidden features and stands out as an essential collector’s item to adorn your manga shelves.
