Features
The RG Shining Gundam introduces an advanced articulation structure designed to emulate the human body's movement. The kit incorporates an improved swing mechanism in the torso and hips, along with sliding joints in the shoulders, ensuring an exceptionally wide range of motion. One of the most outstanding features is the ability to transform into Super Mode without needing to swap parts. The shoulder and calf protectors deploy, and the face mask opens to reveal the Gundam's ultimate combat form. Additionally, the forearm fins are articulated so as not to interfere with martial arts poses. The ankle articulation has been redesigned to offer greater stability, allowing the model to be posed securely and dynamically. Visual details, such as the engraving on the chest fins, add an extra layer of realism to the final finish.

Mobile Suit Overview: GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam
The GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam is Neo Japan's Mobile Fighter designed for the 13th Gundam Fight, piloted by Domon Kasshu. Its design is optimized for close-quarters combat, utilizing the Mobile Trace System, which allows the pilot to control the mobile suit directly with their own body movements. This symbiosis makes the Gundam an extension of Domon's fighting style, based on the Undefeated of the East school of martial arts. Its main armament consists of two head-mounted Vulcan Guns, a Beam Gun on each arm, and two Beam Sabers stored on the hip. However, its most powerful technique is the "Shining Finger," a devastating attack where the Gundam's hand is supercharged with energy to crush its opponents. When Domon's rage reaches its peak, the Shining Gundam can enter Super Mode, amplifying all its capabilities and allowing it to unleash the even more powerful Shining Finger Sword.
