Key Features
This kit delivers a faithful representation of the Genoace O-Custom's distinct appearance through the extensive use of newly molded parts. New components include the head unit, which incorporates clear parts for its sensors; the signature shoulder armor; the high-thrust backpack; the custom DODS rifle; and an expressive open left hand part for more dynamic posing.
The model's characteristic exterior armor is recreated with brand new parts. Image via P-Bandai.
The color separation of these new pieces is achieved directly through plastic molding in different shades, minimizing the need for stickers. KPS plastic is used for the joints, a material that offers both flexibility and greater resistance to solvents used in painting and customization.

RGE-B893CO Genoace O-Custom
The RGE-B893CO Genoace O-Custom is a general-purpose mobile suit modified by the Earth Federation Forces and assigned to veteran pilot Obright Lorain in the year A.G. 160. The "O" in its designation is a direct reference to its pilot. The unit was updated with contemporary technology, giving it an overall performance comparable to the RGE-G2100 Clanche, the most advanced mass-production model of the federal forces at the time.
Its combat record concludes in A.G. 164, when it was destroyed during the confrontation against Fram Nara's Fawn Farsia.
