The GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam is a close-quarters combat Mobile Fighter from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which takes place in a new Gundam Universe centered around a global fighting tournament instead of the typical conflict between Earth and the Space Colonies. Each competing nation duels with unique Mobile Fighters, fighting each other in one-on-one battles until a single Gundam remains standing. The victorious nation is granted rule over all of Earth’s space colonies for four years until the next Gundam Fight begins. Neo Japan sent the GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam to Earth alongside the JMF13-36R Rising Gundam to compete in the opening rounds of the 13th Gundam Fight, operated by “King of Hearts” Domon Kasshu.

Included alongside the MG Shining Gundam for accessories:

• Beam Saber (Long)
• Beam Saber (Short)
• Shining Finger Effect Manipulator x2
• 1/20 Domon Kasshu Figure
• Option Parts for Super mode

Articulation –

The MG Shining Gundam features a complete internal construction marketed as the Action Frame. This frame uses a combination of plastic parts, polycaps, and a handful of screws to provide the model with a wide range of motion. This model features double-jointed knees and elbows, providing the model with a wide range of motion to recreate all the Mobile Suit’s iconic martial arts techniques! The MG Shining Gundam also features a functioning Core Lander, which uses a simple mode change to attach to the Mobile Suit. The Core Lander also features an opening cockpit hatch to reveal an appropriately scaled Domon Kasshu seated within!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The HG Shining Gundam includes two Beam Sabers attached to its left skirt armor for handheld use. Bandai provided two different length beam effects to replicate the equipment’s on-screen appearance. Bandai also included two Shining Finger Effect Manipulators molded in transparent green to recreate the Mobile Suit’s iconic attack.
