Key features
  1. Asymmetrical Design: One of the standout features of the Gundam Astaroth is its asymmetrical design. The mobile suit has mismatched armor and weaponry, indicative of its history of being stripped for parts and then rebuilt using components from various other mobile suits. This gives the Astaroth a unique appearance, different from the typical symmetrical designs of most Gundams.
  2. Demolition Knife and Rifle: A key weapon in Astaroth's arsenal is its oversized Demolition Knife, which can be folded and stored on its back when not in use. This weapon is complemented by its submachine gun, giving the Gundam a balance of ranged and melee combat options.
  3. Adaptive Armour System: The Gundam Astaroth features an armour system that can be adjusted based on combat needs. The right shoulder carries a large protective armour plate, while the left features a more streamlined design. This adaptive system allows the Gundam to optimise its defense and mobility, depending on the combat scenario.

In conclusion, the Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Astaroth brings to life the resilience and adaptability of a mobile suit that has seen numerous battles and rebuilds. Its unique design, combined with its powerful weaponry and adaptive features, makes it a captivating model for any Gunpla enthusiast interested in the deeper lore of the "Iron-Blooded Orphans" universe.

Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Astaroth

Bandai 1/144 HGIBO Gundam Astaroth

The ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth is one of the Gundam Frames from Iron-Blooded Orphans: Urdr Hunt and the Moon Steel manga, a side-story Gundam built by the same Calamity War engineers responsible for Barbatos, Bael, and the rest of the 72-strong Gundam Frame lineage. The Astaroth's signature look is the heavy Demolition Knife mounted on the back — a brutal close-combat weapon that captures the gritty Tekkadan-era aesthetic perfectly.

This kit gives you one of the more distinctive Gundam Frames that didn't make it to the main anime, with a unique silhouette that stands apart from Barbatos and Bael on the shelf.

This kit is designed for beginner-to-intermediate builders and is a clean snap-fit build with strong colour separation.

The Astaroth carries the standard HGIBO Gundam Frame engineering, with full inner-frame articulation, and adds the unique Demolition Knife and knife backpack. Standard close-combat weaponry — a hand knife and rifle — round out the loadout. The kit is fully compatible with the HGIBO Customise Parts system, so you can swap weapons and armour with other Gundam Frame kits if you want to build a custom Astaroth variant.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Demolition Knife: Massive over-sized rear-mounted knife that's the Astaroth's signature weapon, with a storage form and deployed form
  • Gundam Frame Inner Structure: Full IBO Gundam Frame articulation underneath the armour
  • Side-Story Design: One of the Calamity War Gundam Frames from Urdr Hunt and Moon Steel, distinct from the main-anime Frames
  • Compatible With HGIBO Customise Parts: Swap armour and weapons with other IBO kits for custom builds
  • Solid Colour Separation: Black, white, and gold moulding delivers the headline look without paint
  • Hand Knife and Rifle: Standard close-quarters loadout included alongside the Demolition Knife
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg for dynamic posing

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

Australian Stock: In stock and ready to ship Australia-wide from Mecha Express. The HGIBO 1/144 Gundam Astaroth is the ASW-G-29 from Urdr Hunt and Moon Steel, with Demolition Knife (storage and deployed forms), hand knife, and rifle included.

What to Watch For

The Demolition Knife is heavy at the back — the backpack peg holds well but the kit can lean if posed too far forward without an Action Base. The shoulder armour can rub against the chest piece during arm rotation; a gentle sanding of the inner shoulder edge gives you full clearance.

Builder Tips: Black panel lining on the white armour gives the Astaroth's mechanical detail a major lift. The kit is largely black and white, so a satin topcoat ties the finish together. Gold accents respond well to a darker wash for added depth.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Nippers recommended for clean part removal. Expect a 2-3 hour build with panel lining. Action Base sold separately and recommended given the Demolition Knife's weight. Recommended age 15+.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG series differ from other High Grade Gunpla series?

The Iron-Blooded Orphans (IBO) HG series is tailored to reflect the unique mobile suit designs and aesthetics of the "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" anime. The kits often feature inner mechanical details known as the "frame system," which gives the models a greater range of articulation and poseability compared to some other HG series.

I'm particularly interested in the Barbatos mobile suit. Is there a model for that in the HG IBO series?

Absolutely! The Barbatos is one of the standout mobile suits from the IBO series, and there are multiple iterations of the HG Barbatos available, reflecting its various forms and upgrades throughout the anime. Each offers a unique design and weaponry, ensuring you can choose the one that resonates most with you.

Given the distinct design of IBO mobile suits, are these HG kits more complicated to build than other High Grades?

While the IBO HG series showcases unique designs and the frame system, the complexity is still in line with other High Grade kits. They are designed to be accessible, especially for those familiar with HG builds. However, the frame system does add an enjoyable layer of depth for builders who appreciate inner details. Q4: Do the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG kits come with decals and accessories relevant to the series? A4: Yes, they do! The IBO HG kits often come with an array of weaponry, like maces, swords, and rifles, true to what's seen in the anime. Additionally, decals are provided to enhance the model's appearance and capture the intricate designs of the mobile suits. Q5: I've heard about Tekkadan, the main faction in the IBO series. Are there HG kits representing other factions or mobile suits from opposing forces? A5: Indeed! While Tekkadan's mobile suits like the Barbatos are prominent, the HG IBO line also includes kits from other factions and forces, such as Gjallarhorn. This allows you to build and showcase the diverse range of mobile suits from the rich world of Iron-Blooded Orphans. Embark on your Iron-Blooded Orphans building journey and bring the fierce battles and iconic designs of the series to life in your collection!

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!
