The RG Astray Red Frame has received its ultimate form, and it is absolutely massive. Bandai Spirits officially announces the arrival of one of the most extreme designs from the SEED universe to the Real Grade line. Pre-orders open on Premium Bandai for the RG 1/144 Gundam Astray Red Dragon starting Wednesday, November 26 at 12:00 PM. Hailing from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY ASTRAY R, this kit elevates the level of detail and volume of the series. Priced at 4,950 yen (tax included), it ships in February 2026. This marks the first time this variant materializes in RG format, refining the engineering of its predecessor.

This P-Bandai exclusive edition pushes the classic RG-19 (Gundam Astray Red Frame) to the limit. The core of the model utilizes the renowned Advanced MS Joint 10 inner frame, guaranteeing the articulation and stability necessary to support its new and massive armor. The kit incorporates completely new molds to recreate the Flight Unit, the distinctive "Ddraig Head," and the three Caledfwlch swords. These multi-functional weapons are the core of the experience, allowing transformations into "Cannon Mode" or combinations using universal joints to form the massive "Ambidextrous Halberd." As a value-add exclusive to the Real Grade line, an original mechanism allows the cutters and knives to be fused into a single composite weapon.

Mobile Suit Summary

The Red Dragon is the powered-up configuration of the Astray Red Frame, developed by the junker and engineer Lowe Guele. This variant is characterized by simultaneously equipping the Flight Unit, three Caledfwlch multi-functional systems, and the Ddraig Head support system. The Caledfwlch weapons integrate Mirage Colloid scattering devices, granting the machine superior tactical performance and the ability to manipulate energy for defense or attack. The strategic placement of this equipment around the frame projects a silhouette that evokes the shape of a dragon, combining cutting-edge technology with Lowe's signature close-quarters combat style.
