Gundam Sandrock Custom "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing" - HGAC 1/144
The HGAC Gundam Sandrock Custom is a highly anticipated High Grade After Colony (HGAC) Gunpla kit from Bandai, featuring Quatre Raberba Winner's upgraded mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. This space-optimized variant of the original Sandrock adds enhanced verniers, boosted backpack thrusters, and refined mobility for zero-gravity combat, while keeping the signature desert warrior aesthetic with its golden armor, green accents, and dramatic Heat Shotel blades.
The Sandrock Custom excels in close-quarters melee supremacy, using its dual Heat Shotel for devastating slashes and throws, backed by beam weaponry for versatility. It's a fan-favorite for its balanced design—defensive yet aggressive—perfect for duo tactics with the other Gundams.
Key features and accessories include:
- Heat Shotel (x2, heat-radiating curved blades; storable on backpack, throwable, with glowing effect parts in some versions)
- Beam Machine Gun (submachine gun-style for rapid fire, a key upgrade over the base Sandrock)
- Shield-mounted vulcan guns
- Interchangeable hands for dynamic wielding
- Detailed color-molded parts (gold, green, white, and cream) with foil stickers for accents
- Enhanced backpack thrusters and verniers for space mobility poses
This snap-fit kit uses pre-colored parts (no glue required), offers good articulation for its era, and is great for beginners while shining with panel lining or subtle weathering to emphasize its battle-hardened look. It's a must-have for Gundam Wing collectors, especially with the 30th anniversary buzz!
