Japan's official Gunpla flagship store, GUNDAM BASE, has announced the latest limited-edition product from "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing," the "RG 1/144 Gundam Epyon [Special Coating]," which is scheduled to be released at various stores starting March 20, 2026.
The OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon is a transformable mobile suit secretly developed by former OZ Supreme Commander Treize Khushrenada during his dismissal and confinement, based on data from the Tallgeese and the five Gundams. In contrast to other weapons designed for slaughter and victory, this machine's design reflects Treize's chivalrous spirit and beliefs. Its armaments are limited to a beam saber, a shield equipped with a heat rod, and twin arm claws, all suitable for close-quarters duels. It boasts excellent mobility, a "Twin Dragon" flight mode transformation mechanism, and also features the "Epyon System," which is analogous to the Wing Gundam Zero's "Zero System," making its performance top-tier in the series.
The "RG 1/144 Gundam Epyon [Special Coating]" is a modification of the previously released regular version. Some of the red and silver exterior armor parts have been replaced with components featuring metallic coating and EXTRA FINISH special processing, showcasing a dazzling metallic luster. Certain yellow and red molded parts have also been changed to metallic-textured molded colors, exhibiting a granular metallic feel, which gives the mobile suit a more mechanical and substantial presence once assembled.
Aside from the color scheme and outer box, the specifications are essentially the same as the regular version. The overall design is based on the TV anime settings, continuing the RG series' characteristic of condensing excellent color separation, part division technology, and high-density modeling details into the 1/144 scale. It also includes Realistic Decals to express metallic textures and mobile suit markings. To achieve dynamic beam saber-wielding poses, the model's articulation mechanisms have been optimally adjusted, including horizontal and two-stage movable axes in the forearms, movable shoulder armor to expand arm lifting range, three-axis multi-directional articulation in the torso, and interlocking armor mechanisms for the knee spikes, among others, allowing for easier posing in natural sword-swinging stances.
The heat rod is constructed using the integrated movable frame "Advanced MS Joint," allowing the entire whip to reproduce flexible, multi-segment articulation directly without assembly. The twin wings feature an original mechanism inspired by pterosaurs; the two small lower wings have an interlocking deployment mechanism. When transformed into the twin-headed MA form, the pull-out movable joints in the heads, along with individually articulated horns, mouths, and three claws, can express pterosaur-like movements. Furthermore, the hip joints incorporate a locking mechanism design to enhance joint strength after transformation.
