TAMASHII NATIONS, the collector's toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Co., Ltd., which issues the "METAL ROBOT SPIRITS" series combining metallic paint finishes and die-cast frames, has announced the upcoming release of its latest product from the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans": "Gundam Bael [Re:Coordinate]".
The ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael is one of the Gundam Frame mobile suits built during the "Calamity War" 300 years ago. Named after the first of the 72 demons of Solomon, it was once piloted by Agnika Kaieru, the founder of Gjallarhorn, leading them to victory. After being sealed away post-war, it was always regarded as a symbol of supreme power within Gjallarhorn, even deifying it by claiming Agnika's soul resided within Bael. Some believed that acquiring Bael would place them at the pinnacle of Gjallarhorn. However, McGillis Fareed, representative of the Seven Stars' Fareed family, only proved how naive his superstition was after coldly calculating against his kin and ruthlessly seizing the mobile suit.
Although detailed product information for "METAL ROBOT SPIRITS Gundam Bael [Re:Coordinate]" has not yet been released, judging from previously released [Re:Coordinate] series products, the overall sculpt and weapon accessories are expected to be the same as the previously released standard version, with redesigned molding colors, paint schemes, and some body markings for all parts. This is also a common re-release method frequently used by TAMASHII NATIONS recently.
