HG 1/144 Gundam Astaroth

The Gundam Astaroth is the protagonist's mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - Gekkou, the official spin-off manga, and it makes for an interesting build with a few features that set it apart from the standard IBO lineup. The kit shares the common Gundam Frame used across other IBO mobile suits, including Barbatos, which means parts and customisation options carry over between kits in the series. The sub-knuckle on the left arm can also be fitted to other compatible mobile suits, which is handy if you're building across the range.

The main body includes 3mm diameter holes at various points, opening up a good range of interchangeable combinations with other kits. The Demolition Knife is the standout weapon here - a large blade that can shift between a deployed and stored configuration, which gives it a bit of character on the shelf.

Accessories:

• Demolition Knife (transformable stored/deployed form)
