Pilot Chang Wufei’s legendary mobile suit, reimagined by the renowned designer Hajime Katoki for the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz universe, thanks to the expertise of Bandai Spirits.
The XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam stands out for its athletic lines and its design, which combines traditional heroic colours (white, blue, red, yellow) with motifs inspired by Chinese mythology. Built to a scale of 1/100, this model from the Master Grade (MG) range offers a premium building experience, characterised by superb separation of coloured parts and a detailed structure.
A complete internal skeleton and unique extension engineering:
The heart of this model lies in its fully articulated internal frame (Inner Frame), which replicates the robot’s internal mechanics. Its distinctive feature is its right arm, equipped with the formidable Dragon Fang system. This unique articulated arm incorporates complex deployment and extension mechanisms to project the dragon’s jaw forwards during close-quarters combat.
An iconic arsenal and striking translucent effects:
The Shenlong Gundam is ready for attack with its immense energy spear, the Beam Trident, complete with an imposing translucent green flame effect part. For defence, the kit includes the richly sculpted Shenlong Shield, which can be securely attached to the left forearm or stored directly on the figure’s shoulder.
