A special model is being added to the Gunpla lineup, models that ever-fascinate Gundam fans. Coming to the 1/100 scale Master Grade series is a Gunpla using the weapon “Moonlight Butterfly,” the strongest weapon to appear in Turn A Gundam.
This special-made commercial Turn A Gundam figure is of the so-named “strongest” of the Gundam. A large reason for that is its nanomachine weapon, “Moonlight Butterfly.” The nanomachines that radiate outward from the Gundam’s back in the shape of butterfly wings are said to have caused the collapse of civilizations within the series’ universe. Due to the strong impact on fans that “Moonlight Butterfly” has made, fans will likely be ecstatic over this 1/100 scale Gunpla.
The “Moonlight Butterfly” version of the Turn A Gundam undergoes special manufacturing. It is accentuated by pearl and metallic flakes to recreate the glimmer of the nanomachines that cover the Gundam’s back. The Gunpla vividly portrays the Turn A Gundam fighting under moonlight as it did in the series. What further draws the eye are the wings of the “Moonlight Butterfly.” The smooth curving rainbow of colors in the wings is their trademark. The wings also have a hologram coating, and the colors of light they reflect depending on the angle are beautiful. With the extension effects unit that will be released at the same time as the Gunpla, you’ll be able to pull of a variety of poses. By all means, get both and try to fully replicate the “Moonlight Butterfly” from the series.
Both are available for pre-order now on Premium Bandai. The price of the model is 5,940 yen, while the effects unit costs 1,944 yen. Both prices include tax. Delivery is planned for July.
