Fans of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz can now own one of the most iconic mobile suits in its ultimate form. BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS has announced the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite (G.F.F.M.C.) Deathscythe EW Rousette Equipment, a highly detailed 1/100 scale figure designed under the meticulous supervision of legendary mecha designer Hajime Katoki. This masterpiece is priced at ¥41,800 (approximately $310 USD) and is scheduled for release in July 2025.
A Legendary Mobile Suit Reimagined
The XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe, piloted by Duo Maxwell, was one of five Gundam units sent to Earth during Operation Meteor. Known for its stealth capabilities and devastating Beam Scythe, Deathscythe excelled in silent, close-quarters combat.
The Endless Waltz version, redesigned by Hajime Katoki, introduced an even sleeker and more menacing aesthetic. In Glory of the Losers, its capabilities were further enhanced by introducing the Rousette Equipment—a set of wing-like attachments granting Deathscythe short-range atmospheric flight.
Figure Highlights
This G.F.F.M.C. release faithfully reproduces Katoki’s intricate design and incorporates advanced engineering for unparalleled articulation and detail:
- High-End Materials:
Crafted from ABS, PVC, and die-cast metal, the figure boasts a solid, premium feel while maintaining a sleek, anime-accurate appearance. - Iconic Rousette Equipment:
- The Rousette Equipment’s compact wings can transform between three modes: storage, standard, and fully deployed.
- Features sliding and rotating mechanisms for smooth transitions.
- Dynamic Weaponry:
- The classic single-bladed Beam Scythe has been upgraded to a dual-bladed scythe with multiple configurations: twin-headed scythe or two smaller scythes.
- A redesigned shield on the left arm expands into three sections, offering dramatic display possibilities.
- The shield can also detach to combine with the scythe for unique weapon forms like a dual-bladed axe or Beam Hammer.
- Transformation Mechanism:
The figure includes additional backpack parts to recreate the Raven flight mode, an original design exclusive to this model.
Customizability and Compatibility
One standout feature of the G.F.F.M.C. line is its compatibility with other models in the series:
- Combine parts from the Deathscythe EW and Hell Custom EW for new configurations.
- Equip the Rousette wings with cloaks from the Hell Custom for enhanced display options.
- Pair with the Wing Gundam EW or Wing Zero EW to attach heavy weapons such as the Twin Buster Rifle or Neo-Bird Mode-compatible components.
Why Collectors Will Love It
As a long-time fan of Hajime Katoki’s designs and Gundam collectibles, I can confidently say this figure is a game-changer. The Rousette Equipment adds new depth to Deathscythe’s character and functionality, making it a must-have for fans of the Gundam Wing series.
The combination of Katoki’s masterful design, die-cast materials, and extensive customization options elevates this release to a premium level. Whether displayed in its standard form, with its weapons extended, or in the dynamic Raven mode, this Deathscythe is a showstopper for any Gundam collection.
