The GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE (GFFMC) Wing Gundam Zero Rebellion figure is presented as a prominent release in the realm of high-end action figure collecting. This product is not a mere collectible item, but the materialization of a unique collaboration that merges two influential mecha anime franchises: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. The concept for this union originated in the smartphone game Super Robot Wars DD, where the universes of both series meet. The transformation of this crossover, from a video game appearance to a physical figure of notable quality, highlights a trend in the collectibles industry: giving tangible form to concepts previously existing in fans' imaginations or interactive media.

The GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE (GFFMC) line, managed by Bandai Spirits (Tamashii Nations), sets a high standard in Gundam collectible figures. Its concept is based on combining the modeling aesthetics of the GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION series with the weight and transformation mechanisms of the CHOGOKIN series. This results in complete models described as a "new dimension" in Gundam collecting.
The use of die-cast metal and ABS plastic is predominant, allowing for highly precise modeling and coloring. Die-cast metal is used in crucial parts like joints, providing strength, texture, and a noticeable weight to the model. Mechanical designer Hajime Katoki provides comprehensive supervision, from initial design to color scheme and markings, aiming for a distinctive and realistic appearance and surface texture. Katoki reviews 3D design data and provides detailed corrections, including the precise balance of edge processing in specific areas of the figure.
Wing Gundam Zero (Endless Waltz): The Origin of the Legend
The GFFMC Wing Gundam Zero Rebellion figure primarily references the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero as it appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. This unit is recognized for its distinctive silhouette, particularly its characteristic organic and feathered wings, which give it an aesthetic often perceived as angelic, elegant, and fluid. In its original narrative, despite the immense power granted by the ZERO System, the Wing Gundam Zero is often associated with the pursuit of peace or the fight for transcendent ideals.
Wing Gundam Zero Rebellion: Reimagined Design and Cutting-Edge Technical Specifications
The design of the GFFMC Wing Gundam Zero Rebellion reinterprets the base of the Wing Gundam Zero (EW) under the aesthetic influence of Code Geass. It adopts the color scheme of the Knightmare Frame Gawain, piloted by the character Zero, resulting in a combination of dark tones and gold accents that evoke the characteristic intensity of the Code Geass universe. This fusion has been executed with detailed modeling and coloring under the complete supervision of Hajime Katoki, ensuring that the integration of elements from both franchises results in a cohesive and visually striking entity.
The figure stands approximately 180 mm tall. The materials used are a combination of ABS, PVC, and Die-cast metal components, ensuring both fine details and the solidity and distinctive weight of the line. The choice to merge the Wing Gundam Zero from Endless Waltz with the Gawain's colors creates a deliberate visual and thematic tension. The name "Rebellion" added to the Wing Gundam Zero underscores this reinterpretation, suggesting a duality and a renewed identity for this iconic Mobile Suit.

Innovative Armament and Exclusive Transformation Features
The GFFMC Wing Gundam Zero Rebellion is distinguished by a specific arsenal and transformation mechanisms that underscore its uniqueness. Part of this armament, introduced in Super Robot Wars DD, makes its first physical appearance with this collectible figure.
The main armament consists of the Super Valibuster Rifles (also referred to as Super V.A.R.I.S. Buster Rifles), dual weapons with a two-stage transformation mechanism. MV Sabers, a new type of close-combat weapon, are also included. A distinctive element is the F.L.E.I.J.A. Eliminator, a unique weapon designed for this G.F.F.M.C. release, which resembles the F.L.E.I.J.A. Eliminator from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 and is included as an additional piece. In the Code Geass universe, the F.L.E.I.J.A. is a weapon of mass destruction, a symbol of Zero's disruptive power.
Additionally, the figure features an original transformation mechanism, allowing its conversion to an "original Neo Bird form." All included weapons can be mounted in this aerial configuration, designed under the supervision of Hajime Katoki.
