MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms EW Ver

The Master Grade (MG) Gundam Heavyarms EW Ver. (also known as MG 1/100 XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms Endless Waltz Ver.) is a 1/100 scale model kit released by Bandai in 2012, capturing the refined design of the iconic heavy firepower mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. This version features Hajime Katoki's updated redesign for the OVA/manga continuity — sleeker proportions, sharper details, and enhanced armaments compared to the TV series Heavyarms.

Piloted by Trowa Barton, Heavyarms is the ultimate "bullet hose" Gundam, loaded with overwhelming missile pods, vulcan guns, and a massive beam gatling for saturation fire. The EW Ver. emphasizes this firepower aesthetic with intricate panel lines, opening hatches everywhere, and a bulky yet balanced silhouette that screams "overkill."

Key Features of the MG Kit

• Fully opening hatches on shoulders, chest, legs, and backpack to reveal dozens of missile pods — perfect for recreating the classic "full barrage" mode.
• Signature beam gatling gun (with flexible ammo belt) that can be held two-handed or posed dynamically.
• Arm-mounted combat knife with folding/deployable gimmick (plus optional beam saber hilt for TV series callbacks).
• Extensive missile detailing (gray out of the box; many builders paint the tips red for extra pop).
• Includes foil stickers, dry transfers, and marking decals for Katoki-specific details.
• Sturdy inner frame with good posability, though leg joints can be tight (common in early Wing MG kits — push carefully!).
• Comes with Trowa Barton pilot figure and display base adapter.
• Snap-fit, no glue needed — pre-colored runners make for a straightforward (if parts-heavy) build.

Fans love this kit for its sheer "presence" and satisfaction of opening every hatch for maximum dakka vibes. It's often called one of the most fun Wing EW MGs despite minor quirks like nub marks on visible parts and occasional tight fits.

If you're a Gundam Wing fan, love gun-heavy suits (think "more guns than sense"), or want a satisfying MG with tons of gimmicks, this is a classic must-build from the early 2010s lineup.
