Bandai Hobby HGBD 1/144 Gundam 00 Sky (2018)
Riku’s heavily customized successor to the Gundam 00 Diver joins the High Grade Build Divers lineup, reborn through extensive reconstruction and upgraded to exceed the capabilities of its predecessor. Retaining the 00 series’ iconic silhouette while integrating new structural and stylistic elements, the 00 Sky presents a refined, high-performance Build Fighter aesthetic that reflects its in-universe evolution.

The kit’s centerpiece is the exclusively designed Sky Drive Unit, a hybrid backpack system combining a GN Drive assembly with wing technology inspired by the Destiny Gundam. The result is a visually striking propulsion system that enhances both aerial posing and mechanical presence. The wing binders articulate smoothly, allowing for dynamic flight displays, thrust angles, and high-mobility action scenes straight from the anime.

Articulation across the shoulders, torso, hips, and ankles supports dramatic weapon-wielding poses, dual-saber slashes, grounded stances, and launch-ready aerial formations. Smart part engineering ensures stability even when equipped with large armaments, making the kit ideal for expressive posing on or off a display stand.

A versatile weapon loadout expands play and display options—Beam Rifle for standard engagement, dual Beam Sabers for close combat, and a massive Buster Sword and Long Rifle for high-impact offense. Both larger weapons can be mounted onto the Sky Drive Unit, reinforcing the machine’s fully armed “hero” silhouette and allowing for streamlined storage or mid-flight deployment.

Crisp surface detailing, clean molding, and effective color separation reduce the need for additional painting, while the included joint part and optional expressive left hand offer additional customization and display flexibility.

Energetic, stylish, and adaptable, the Gundam 00 Sky embodies the spirit of Build Divers—personal creativity, evolving upgrades, and battle-ready elegance—making it a standout kit for fans of the 00 lineage and custom-build concepts alike.
