HG GN-001 Gundam Exia

The Gundam Exia is a third-generation Close Combat Mobile Suit constructed by Celestial Being, a paramilitary organization dedicated to remedying global conflicts with their highly advanced Mobile Suit forces. Through years of research, Celestial Being was able to develop revolutionary GN Drives, providing their Mobile Suits with an almost limitless power supply. The GN Drives also exude powerful GN Particles, which grant the Gundam Exia fantastic maneuverability, amongst other benefits. The Gundam Exia’s sparse armor placement furthers the mobility and range of motion by a great deal, perfect for getting in close to targets. The Gundam Exia’s armor placement ensured full mobility but exposed vitals during movement, reducing the Mobile Suit’s defensive capabilities. The main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Setsuna F. Seiei, piloted the Gundam Exia during the series’ first season.

Included alongside the HG Gundam Exia for accessories:

• GN Sword
• GN Long Blade
• GN Short Blade
• GN Shield
• Beam Saber Hilt x4
• Beam Saber (Unpainted)

Articulation –

The HG Gundam Exia features an entirely new construction supported by an array of polycaps, as this was the first model in the HG00 line! This model features double-jointed knees, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. Bandai provided a small sheet of color-correcting stickers to help builders recreate the HG Gundam Exia’s on-screen appearance right out of the box!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The GN Sword is HG Gundam Exia’s primary weapon, functioning as a high-powered melee weapon or Beam Rifle, depending on the blade’s orientation. The HG Gundam Exia includes two more physical-bladed weapons attached to its side skirt armor. This pair of blades carry the unique ability to disable GN Shields to counter any potential betrayers from using their Mobile Suit against Celestial Being. The HG Gundam Exia also sorties with four traditional Beam Saber hilts attached to its back. Bandai provided an unpainted activated Beam Saber for builders to display with this model.
