Kit Features
This model kit faithfully recreates the distinctive form of the Leo-S with new parts for the head, legs, chest ducts, and shoulder armor. The camera eyes are rendered with clear parts. The striking red lines on the arms and legs feature a metallic finish, accurately reproducing the color separation of the original design. A key feature is its diffuser cloak, which has been reproduced with new molding to capture its flowing, dynamic shape. This cloak is fully mobile and can be attached or detached from the faithfully recreated back unit, allowing for a wide range of poses. The kit's assembly structure is beginner-friendly, with excellent color separation and precise-fitting parts, offering a substantial improvement in articulation and rigidity over the base Leo model.

About the OZ-06MS-SS1 Leo-S
The OZ-06MS-SS1 Leo-S is a custom Mobile Suit from the universe of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit, a manga that runs parallel to the main Gundam Wing storyline. This Mobile Suit is based on the versatile OZ-06MS Leo frame, known for its adaptability to various combat roles. The Leo-S is piloted by Roche Nattono, leader of the Stardust Knights, and reflects both his combat style and personal evolution. The manga's plot centers on the conflicts between the MO-V colony and the OZ subgroup "OZ Prize," offering a unique perspective on the Gundam Wing universe. The fact that a custom variant of a mass-produced unit receives an exclusive P-Bandai kit, complete with a rich narrative background and a specific character, demonstrates the depth given to units beyond the main Gundams, enriching the franchise's lore.
