SDW HEROES GF Series Unleashes Its Hidden Combination Feature!
During the latest episode of “Teach Me! Gunpla Concierge!! #256”, aired on THE GUNDAM BASE TOKYO YouTube channel, Bandai officially revealed the secret transformation feature of the upcoming SDW HEROES GF Series kits!
Set to launch on March 22, 2025, the Captain Quanta GF, GF Astraea Type-B, and GF Astraea Type-F combine into the massive “General Fortress.” It is approximately 20 cm (nearly 8 inches) tall, surpassing the MG 1/100 Gundam 3.0 in size!
The Reiwa-Era Revival of SUPER G-ARMS!
🔹 Designed by mechanical artist Toshitaka Miyauchi, these three Gundams pay homage to the legendary 1990s SD series, SD Command Chronicles’ SUPER G-ARMS!
🔹 Each kit bears SUPER G-ARMS unit insignias and is based on popular mobile suits from Gundam 00, including:
🟢 Captain Quanta GF – Inspired by the 00 Quanta!
🔴 GF Astraea Type-B – Based on the Gundam Astraea Type-B!
🔵 GF Astraea Type-F – Modeled after the Gundam Astraea Type-F!
Three-Way Combination – The Birth of GENERAL FORTRESS!
⚔️ A Gigantic Combined Form!
🟢 The three models combine with all parts and weapons, forming the towering 20 cm “General Fortress” mode, taking inspiration from the classic General Gundam & Fortress Emperor from SD Command Chronicles!
⚔️ GN Weapons & Transparent Parts!
💚 Loaded with GN-powered weapons and large-scale accessories, utilizing transparent green effect parts for an 00-series inspired look!
⚔️ Dynamic Articulation, But With Some Challenges!
🤖 While General Fortress retains poseability, early prototypes show some loose connections and stability issues, meaning some tweaks may be required for better display.
🎨 Gold and transparent green sections require stickers for full-color accuracy, a common trait in SDW HEROES kits.
