Premium Bandai, Bandai’s official online store, is now accepting lottery entries for the RG 1/144 Akatsuki Gundam (Ōwashi Equipment) gunpla kit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY. Two additional RG kits are also part of the same lottery.
About the Gundam SEED Series
The Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series is set in the Cosmic Era (C.E.), a future where two branches of humanity coexist: the genetically enhanced Coordinators and the naturally born Naturals. The first series began airing in 2002, with Gundam SEED DESTINY serving as its direct sequel. Most recently, the theatrical film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, released on 26 January 2024, became the highest-grossing theatrical Gundam film of all time.
RG 1/144 Akatsuki Gundam (Ōwashi Equipment) Highlights
The kit faithfully recreates the Akatsuki’s iconic golden armor through multi-faceted surface sculpting designed to optimize light reflection at various angles, capturing the shimmer of the Yata no Kagami beam-deflecting coating. The Ōwashi backpack unit features deployable components including the nose section, hatches, and beam cannons, while both wings move flexibly to reproduce the unit in its mounted configuration. Notably, some frame parts are shared with the RG Strike Gundam.
