Key features

Recreation of the Iconic Dragon Fangs: The kit's most prominent feature is its faithful reproduction of the Altron's signature Dragon Fangs. Both arms are equipped with these dragon-head weapons, and the kit includes extension parts to recreate its dynamic, long-range attack poses as seen in Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. The jaws of the dragons are also articulated, adding to its expressiveness.

Excellent Articulation and Dynamic Poses: As a modern High Grade kit, the HG Altron Gundam boasts superior articulation. It has multiple points of movement, including a backpack with a movable wing and a beam cannon that can be angled with three rotation axes. This wide range of motion allows builders to pose the kit in various action stances, capturing the mobile suit's aggressive, melee-focused combat style.

Comprehensive Weaponry and Accessories: The kit comes with all of the Altron's key armaments, making it a complete package right out of the box. This includes the Twin Dragon Fangs, the Twin Beam Trident (which can be displayed in both its extended and stored form), and the Altron Shield. It also comes with alternate hands, allowing for a variety of expressive poses beyond just holding weapons.

Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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 Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam 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

What are the key features and accessories included with the kit?

The HG 1/144 Altron Gundam is known for its signature dragon-themed armaments. The kit includes: Twin Dragon Fangs: Both arms are equipped with the iconic Dragon Fangs, which can be extended using included extension parts to recreate its dynamic attack poses from the anime. Twin Beam Trident: A double-bladed beam trident, which is the Altron's primary melee weapon. The kit allows you to pose it with the trident in a wide range of stances. Altron Shield: The small, round shield that is typically mounted on the left shoulder. Beam Cannon: The tail-like beam cannon on its back. Alternate Hands: The kit provides several types of manipulators, including weapon-holding hands and open-palm hands for more expressive poses.

Is this kit a regular retail release or a Premium Bandai (P-Bandai) exclusive?

The HGAC (High Grade After Colony) Altron Gundam is a Premium Bandai exclusive. This means it is produced in limited runs and is not typically available for a standard retail release. As a result, it can be more difficult to find and is often sold at a higher price by third-party sellers once the initial pre-order window closes.

How is the articulation and poseability of the kit, especially with the Dragon Fangs?

The kit has been praised for its overall articulation, which is what you'd expect from a modern High Grade kit. The joints are generally solid, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses, which is crucial for a mobile suit focused on melee combat. The Dragon Fangs, which are the main gimmick, are stable for an HG kit. The extension mechanism uses a parts-forming approach, where you swap out parts to achieve the extended look, rather than a built-in telescoping mechanism. This is a common and reliable method in this grade to ensure the arms can hold their position without sagging.

Does this kit require any painting or special finishing to look good out of the box?

Like most modern High Grade kits, the HG Altron Gundam has good color separation and looks impressive with a straight build. The main colors—green, white, blue, and red—are all molded in their respective plastic colors. However, some smaller details on the Dragon Fangs and the Twin Beam Trident may require color-correcting stickers or a bit of paint for full anime accuracy. Most builders find the included stickers are sufficient for a good-looking model, but for those who want a truly perfect finish, a bit of panel lining and painting is recommended.

What is the difference between this kit and the old HG from the TV series?

The new HGAC (High Grade After Colony) kit is a significant improvement over the old HG from the '90s. The HGAC version is a completely new mold with vastly superior articulation, proportion, and color separation. The old TV-era HG kits are known for being simpler builds with less detail and poor poseability by modern standards. The HGAC Altron Gundam is also based on the design from the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz movie, which has a slightly different aesthetic, including a more streamlined body and unique armaments, compared to its TV series counterpart.
