HG IBO Gundam Zagan (ASW-G-61) model kit

From "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Urdr Hunt," the "Gundam Zagan," featuring its distinctive shield pliers unit, joins the HG IBO line!

Features new parts for the Gundam Frame to make it more sturdy.

Reproduces the deployment gimmick of the "Shield Pliers Unit". Flexible movement is achieved by providing movable axes in various parts of the arm. The front of the shoulder armour moves independently, ensuring a wide range of motion for the arms. The hand parts include left and right gripping hands and open hands.

⭐ Hobby-G Community Overview

The HG Zagan has attracted attention among IBO builders for its distinctive appearance and unconventional mechanical design. Its bulky proportions and unusual silhouette help it stand apart from more familiar Gundam designs, while the High Grade format keeps the build relatively accessible. Collectors particularly interested in the wider Iron-Blooded Orphans Mobile Suit line will find it an interesting addition thanks to its very different visual identity.
