HG 1/144 Lightning Buster Gundam

The heavy hitter returns! From the 2024 film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, the Lightning Buster Gundam—piloted by Dearka Elthman gets a modern, high-performance HG release. This updated version of the classic Buster is packed with firepower and features the latest in Gunpla articulation technology, making it a must-have for fans of the Cosmic Era.

Advanced Features & Firepower

• SEED Action System: Designed with an internal structure that prioritizes dynamic movement, allowing you to recreate the intense artillery stances seen in the movie.

• Versatile Heavy Artillery: The signature large cannons can be folded or unfolded. Thanks to movable arm connections, they can be held securely at either the shoulder or waist positions.

• Hidden Missiles: Recreate a full missile barrage by opening the hatches on the back to expose the stored warheads.

• Enhanced Hip Articulation: The hip joint shafts move independently and slide vertically, providing the range of motion needed for wide, grounded firing stances.

• Deployable Waist Cannons: Use replacement barrel parts to accurately recreate the waist-mounted beam cannons in their deployed firing state.

Build Experience

• Vibrant Color Separation: Molded in multi-colored sprues to capture the Lightning Buster’s distinct desert-and-green palette right out of the box.

• Tool-Free Finish: Engineered with "Snap-Fit" technology no glue or cement required for a solid, high-quality build.

• Modeller Friendly: While the pre-colored parts look great, the sharp mold lines provide an excellent canvas for those who wish to add custom weathering or panel lining.
