HGAC #162 XXXG-01W Wing Gundam

The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam is the titular Mobile Suit of the beloved Mobile Suit Gundam Wing animated series! The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam is one of the five G-Team Gundams constructed for use during Operation Meteor. Of these suits, the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam shares the most in common with the original XXXG-0W00 Wing Gundam Zero design, including the transformation into a Bird configuration. The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam excels in maneuverability thanks to the pair of wings fixed to the Mobile Suit’s backpack. Both wings split into two sub-wings to help adjust the Mobile Suit’s speed. This equipment allowed the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam to fly around the in-atmosphere while in Mobile Suit Mode. This HGAC XXXG-01W Wing Gundam builds into the original anime depiction of the Wing Gundam, a brilliant design from Kunio Okawara, but with updated proportions to keep up with the tastes of modern builders.

Here are the included accessories for the HGAC XXXG-01W Wing Gundam:

• Buster Rifle
• Shield
• Beam Saber

Articulation –

The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam was Bandai’s first HGAC model, and they certainly did not disappoint! The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam enjoys many modern aspects, which Bandai continues to use years after this release as they slowly churn out more HGAC entries. Builders who love to find the perfect pose for their kits will be pleased to find out the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam features double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs. The wings feature multiple points of articulation, allowing for much more dynamic flying poses. The conversion to Bird Mode is done in just five steps, thanks to some clever engineering. Both modes support the use of a 3mm-type Action Base without the need for an adapter!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam’s primary weapon is the Buster Rifle. The Buster Rifle is a devastating three-shot Beam weapon with enough firepower to destroy multiple Mobile Suits and small ships with a single shot. The three canisters contained within the rifle are just molded detail and are not removable like their Master Grade counterparts. For close-quarters engagements, the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam stores a Beam Saber inside its Shield. Bandai included a transparent green Beam Effect to display the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam wielding its Beam Saber.
