Bandai RG 1/144 Gundam Epyon
This model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous piloted mobile suit within the After Colony timeline. Every part of the internal structure faithfully reproduces the original mechanical design, whilst featuring a level of detail unprecedented for this compact scale. The subtle shades of the coloured plastics create a striking visual contrast that brings the robot to life as soon as assembly is complete, without requiring any touch-up painting.
This version’s exclusive articulation system incorporates an advanced internal skeleton that allows it to replicate the flexibility of the human body with remarkable fluidity. The contoured armour plates and imposing articulated wings glide in synchronisation with the limbs’ movements to preserve the mecha’s aggressive lines in its most dynamic close-combat and flight poses. This centrepiece stands as the essential centrepiece of any display dedicated to the world of giant combat robots.
