Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Hyakuren — Amida Custom
Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Hyakuren — Amida Custom
This is Amida Arca's personal Hyakuren, the lead Turbines mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2. Amida is the second-in-command of the Turbines and one of the most respected pilots in the series, and her custom Hyakuren carries the distinctive purple and gold scheme that marks her command status. The Hyakuren itself is the Turbines' standard mobile suit — a Calamity War-era unit refurbished for modern service — and Amida's variant adds a personalised paint job along with the heavier weapons load she favours.
If you collect IBO mobile suits, Amida's Hyakuren is the natural pair to the standard Turbines Hyakuren and one of the better commander variants in the HGIBO line.
This kit is designed for beginner-to-intermediate builders and is a clean snap-fit build with strong colour separation.
The Amida Custom carries the standard Hyakuren frame with the personalised colour scheme and Amida's signature weapons. The kit includes the standard pile bunkers and Amida's preferred close-combat options. The HGIBO inner-frame engineering carries through, giving the kit solid articulation for active posing.

What to Watch For
Independent build coverage on this specific variant is thin. A general web search plus a targeted Reddit and YouTube sweep turned up retailer listings and the manufacturer's own product copy (which confirms the newly sculpted assault rifle and standard rifle and blade are included) but no dedicated build reviews at time of writing. On the standard Hyakuren platform this variant shares its frame with, the gold accent parts on the shoulder markings are small and can be brittle on the attachment tabs, so take care removing them from the runner.
Builder Tips: Panel lining on the mauve and maroon armour brings out the layered Hyakuren plating. A black panel line marker works across both tones without flattening either colour. A satin topcoat unifies the foil sticker and bare plastic finish.
Build Notes
Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Nippers recommended for clean part removal, particularly on the gold accent parts. Expect a 2-3 hour build with panel lining. Action Base sold separately. Recommended age 15+.
