Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam Barbatos 4th Form
The Bandai 1/100 MG Gundam Barbatos 4th Form is the Master Grade kit of the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos as it appears in its fourth configuration in Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans, piloted by Mikazuki Augus. This is the definitive 1/100 scale treatment of the Barbatos — built around a fully articulated inner frame with chrome-plated cylinders, a spinning hub reactor gimmick, and hip joints engineered specifically to recreate Barbatos's signature downward-looking combat pose. If you want the most detailed and poseable version of the Barbatos available, this is the kit to build.
The MG Barbatos 4th Form is designed for intermediate builders and features a complete inner frame with interlocking armour attachment. The chrome-plated cylinders and spinning hub reactor are engineering highlights you won't find in the Full Mechanics or HG versions of this mobile suit.
The armour panels interlock directly with the inner frame rather than sitting over it, which gives the Barbatos its characteristic layered mechanical look and allows full poseability without armour parts popping off during posing. The mace includes a sliding handle, the gun has a slide-and-fold action, and three pairs of interchangeable hand parts let you set up a range of display configurations. Best suited to builders who've completed at least one MG kit and are comfortable with inner frame assembly.
What Makes This Kit Special
-
Chrome-Plated Inner Frame Cylinders: The inner frame includes chrome-plated cylinder parts — a premium detail that catches light and adds mechanical depth not present in the Full Mechanics or HG kits.
-
Spinning Hub Reactor Gimmick: The Ahab Reactor hub on the inner frame includes a functional spinning gimmick, faithfully recreating one of the Barbatos's signature design features.
-
Dynamic Hip Joint Engineering: Left/right hip joint movement is specifically engineered to recreate Barbatos's famous downward-looking combat pose from the anime.
-
Interlocking Armour System: Armour panels attach directly to and interlock with the inner frame, enabling full poseability while keeping parts secure during display.
-
Expandable Knee Armour: Armour behind the knees can be pulled out to expand the range of leg movement for deeper action poses.
-
Weapon Gimmicks: The mace features a sliding handle; the gun includes a slide-and-fold action — both functional play features that add display versatility.
-
Three Pairs of Interchangeable Hands: Multiple hand part configurations included for weapon-holding, open, and relaxed display poses.
-
4th Form Configuration: Specifically represents the Barbatos in its fourth form configuration as seen in the Iron-Blooded Orphans anime, distinct from the standard or Lupus variants.
