Bandai Candy’s popular “MOBILITY JOINT GUNDAM” series continues with its latest release, “MOBILITY JOINT GUNDAM VOL.8,” scheduled for October 2024. Inspired by the “G-FRAME” series, this collection features popular mobile suits from the Gundam universe in a 3-head proportion style. The models use the “MOBILITY JOINT” movable skeleton structure, offering around 20 points of articulation and detailed outer armor for a high-quality finish once assembled. Each figure stands approximately 70mm (2.75 inches) tall.
The eighth volume includes four new mobile suits from the theatrical anime “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM,” featuring:
- Strike Freedom Gundam II, Piloted by Kira Yamato, features gold-molded parts and two high-energy beam rifles. The EX accessories include the enhanced armor “Glory Guard” and the physical sword “Buto no Mitama,” allowing for the recreation of “All-Purpose Strike Freedom Gundam.”
- Infinite Justice Gundam II: Piloted by Athrun Zala, it has silver-molded parts and a high-energy beam rifle and shield. The EX accessories include the new propulsion backpack, “M2X32E VOLANTES,” adjustable via base joints.
