The robot-themed action figure series "ROBOT魂", released by BANDAI SPIRITS' collector's toy division TAMASHII NATIONS, has officially announced its latest product, "EX-001 Glass Feather", based on the "RX-78F00/E Gundam Life-Sized Statue" from the Japan World Expo, scheduled for release in July 2025.
In the 2025 Japan World Expo (Osaka-Kansai Expo) exhibition area, the 17-meter-tall "RX-78F00/E Gundam Life-Sized Statue", standing next to the "GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION" exhibition hall, is a modified version of the previous life-sized movable Gundam from "GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA". It has been redesigned into a non-articulated, high-kneeling pose looking up at the cosmos, with its left shoulder armor, skirt armor, and leg armor replaced with new solar panel-like designs. When night falls, a special performance with lighting and smoke effects will take place.
However, the statue outside the pavilion is not the complete form of this "RX-78F00/E Gundam". A completely new video work played inside the pavilion will lead audiences into a "world where humans and mobile suits coexist", experiencing a journey to a space station via an orbital elevator. Along the way, they will witness the Gundam equipped with magnificent solar panel wings, the "Glass Feather", on its back.
The "ROBOT魂 EX-001 Glass Feather" exclusively includes the magnificent "Glass Feather equipment" backpack, which can be combined with the separately sold "RX-78F00/E Gundam" main unit. The intricate detailing of the solar panels on both the front and back of the wings is meticulously crafted, and transparent parts are used to reveal the internal structure. Furthermore, a massive thruster is mounted at the rear.
A pair of mechanical arms at the top of the backpack features multi-stage articulation, allowing the front claws to extend. This version's newly added "Beam Welding Gun" equipment comes with two parts, one in an extended state and one in a stored state, which can be equipped on the left arm. Additionally, the accessories include a display stand molded in the same color as the solar panels, which can be connected to the tab at the bottom of the backpack for display.
