Series FAQ

Bandai GU GF13-017 Shining Gundam

Shining Gundam, ready-built and ready to pose. This is the Gundam Universe Shining Gundam, the mobile fighter of Neo Japan from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. It is a fully built and painted action figure, about 15cm tall. No assembly, no paint, take it out and pose it.

The gimmick. A first for the Gundam Universe line: Shining Gundam converts between its normal mode and battle mode. It comes with long and short beam swords, and a dedicated right hand for the Shining Finger.

What's in the box. The main figure, interchangeable left and right hands, the Shining Finger right hand, an interchangeable face, the beam sword blade set, and a joint for a Tamashii Stage (sold separately).

Fast Australian shipping. Order before 2pm on a weekday and it ships the same day from Brisbane.

What to watch for. This is a finished figure, not a model kit, so there is nothing to build. To pose it in the air you will want a Tamashii Stage, sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Gundam Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

I purchased this kit and one other for my grandsons birthday. He loved building it and found it easy to follow. My order arrived in super fast time and was beautifully packed. It even had some wonderful freebies in the box which was really great. Excellent product and service in every way!

These are fantastic kits.

I purchased this for my grandson on his birthday. He has already put it together and everything fits perfectly. Both he and I are chuffed! Thank you!

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
