Features
This Altron Gundam EW kit delivers a faithful representation of its iconic weaponry using newly molded parts. The two Dragon Hangs accurately replicate their extension and retraction mechanism, allowing them to be deployed for dynamic attack poses. The claws at the ends are movable on two axes, and extension blocks are included to recreate longer-range scenes. To ensure stability during posing, the set comes with two dedicated auxiliary stands for the Dragon Hangs.

XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam
The XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam is the upgraded version of the XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam, developed from the original plans by the five Gundam scientists. Piloted by Chang Wufei, who refers to it by the nickname "Nataku," this Mobile Suit plays a crucial role in the events of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Its official name, "Altron," is derived from the Chinese term for "two-headed dragon," a clear reference to its primary armament: the two arm-mounted Dragon Hangs, which grant it formidable combat capability at short to medium range.
