The mobile suit "GUNDAM LFRITH," which plays an active role in the prequel, is scheduled for release in August this year as an HG 1/144 scale model kit. This machine is a prototype GUND-ARM type mobile suit that utilizes GUND Format technology, tested at the Vanadis Institute, and equipped with powerful AI. The kit features white and fluorescent red molding for the exterior armor, meticulously detailing its rich layered design. The chest armor can be replaced with parts made using IMD (In-Mold Decoration) molding technology, reproducing the intricate patterns of its illuminated state.
For its armaments, the beam rifle can be equipped with beam effect parts. The shield can separate into 7 GUND-BITs. These GUND-BITs can be mounted on the backpack or beam rifle to recreate their activated state, or all deployed as remote-controlled funnel weapons.
