HG Gundam Astray Blue Frame - Together with the HG Astray Red Frame.

Together with the HG Astray Red Frame.

Following the HG Astray Red Frame, the Blue Frame has now been released in HG as well. Besides the frame color changing to blue, the weapons have changed too — the Gerbera Straight has been swapped out for a bazooka.

True to its reputation as a variation of a top-tier kit, it delivers excellent proportions along with best-in-class articulation, letting you pull off all kinds of dynamic poses. If I had to nitpick, the Red Frame's Gerbera Straight does look a bit cooler, but the combination of the crisp blue frame with a bazooka isn't bad at all ^^

Being a color variation kit, there isn't a whole lot of new ground to cover, but since it's such a well-regarded kit, it's easy to recommend to any Gunpla fan. It's especially fun when displayed as a pair alongside the Red Frame~ :-)
