HG 1/144 ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos (1st & 4th Form)
Raise your flag with the demon of Tekkadan. Dragoon Gaming stocks the HG 1/144 Gundam Barbatos, the groundbreaking protagonist machine piloted by Mikazuki Augus in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Known for its feral, predatory silhouette and brutal physical weaponry, this High Grade kit redefined 1/144 scale engineering, offering builders a gritty, industrial mecha experience that stands apart from traditional Universal Century designs.
Revolutionary 1/144 Gundam Frame
The HG Gundam Barbatos is celebrated for its inclusion of a highly detailed internal skeleton—a feature rarely seen in High Grade kits. The "Gundam Frame" allows for an incredible range of articulation in the waist and shoulders, enabling the mobile suit to recreate the deep-crouched, animalistic combat stances seen in the anime. This kit also features unique parts-swapping, allowing you to build the Barbatos in either its scavenged 1st Form or its fully repaired 4th Form.
Key Features of the HG Gundam Barbatos:
-
Two Forms in One: Includes the asymmetrical left arm armor for the 1st Form, or the symmetrical shoulder pauldrons for the 4th Form.
-
Brutal Arsenal: Fully equipped with the massive physical Mace and the graceful Long Sword (Katana).
-
Internal Skeleton: Features the articulated "Gundam Frame" with exposed mechanical details and hydraulic styling in the midsection.
-
Weapon Mounting: Includes a specialized backpack arm that allows the Mace or Sword to be stored securely on the back.
-
Color-Coded Molding: Recreates the striking white, blue, red, and yellow palette, with foil stickers included for the glowing pink Alaya-Vijnana system sensors.
Dragoon Gaming Builder’s Advisory
The HG Barbatos is a fun, highly poseable build that serves as the perfect canvas for customization. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend using a Gundam Marker GM-01 (Black) to define the panel lines on the white armor and GM-02 (Grey) for the exposed frame sections. Because the Barbatos fights in the deserts of Mars, it is the ultimate candidate for Weathering. Use the AK Fresh Rust and Dark Brown Panel Liners to simulate oil stains and sand grit for a hyper-realistic, battle-worn finish!
Note: This is a 1/144 scale plastic model kit. Assembly is required. No glue is necessary.
