Bandai 5056827 1/100 Full Mechanics Barbatos Lupus Rex Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans BANDAI

The Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex is the main mobile suit featured in the second half of Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS second season. It is piloted by Mikazuki Augus.

The Gundam Barbatos Lupus fought a fierce battle against the Hashmal in the vicinity of Chryse, a city on Mars and was so severely damaged that it was sent to the Saisei’s MS workshop for a major upgrade. To more intuitively reflect Mikazuki’s fighting style, the suit’s arms were enlarged and elongated like a beast, and various weapons are fitted on the body. The arms’ frame structure was also upgraded and reinforced. The tail parts of the Hashmal was transplanted to the suit’s back, and through the Alaya-Vijnana System, Mikazuki controls this tail blade as if it was a limb. The Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex is customized for close combat, and its silhouette gives it a more ferocious look than its predecessors.

Gundam models, or gunpla, are assembly model kits depicting the vehicles and characters of the fictional anime Gundam universe by Bandai. Gunpla is very popular due to the high-quality of engineering, the flexible articulation of the finished models, the pre-coloured plastic parts, and the ease of construction. No glue is necessary to construct, though specialised plastic cutters or hobby knives are recommended to remove the parts of the sprue. Stickers and decals for markings are usually supplied, as well as an illustrated instruction sheet understandable in all languages.
