MG Musha Gundam MK-II

The Bandai MG 1/100 Musha Gundam Mk-II is a Master Grade plastic model kit released in May 2010 (May 27 in Japan, with ongoing reissues and stock availability). It is a samurai-themed variant of the Gundam Mk-II, originally designed for the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam video game series (and later featured in various Gundam crossovers). This kit features gold stylized markings across the body, intricate Japanese-themed armor, and weapons inspired by Sengoku-era samurai aesthetics.

This snap-fit kit (no glue required) features pre-colored parts with extensive gold plating (two runners of gold-plated parts), silver-plated blades for the katana swords, poly-caps for smooth poseability, and ankle cylinders for added detail. It stands approximately 18 cm (about 7 inches) tall when assembled, with a bulky, ornate samurai silhouette — making it a striking, eye-catching display piece for fans of samurai Gundam variants or Dynasty Warriors crossovers.

Key Features & Armaments

• Gold Plated Parts — Extensive gold molding on armor panels, helmet, shoulder spikes, and accents for a regal, samurai-warrior look.
• Kotetsu Maru Swords (x2) — Dual katana swords with silver-plated blades; mountable on the skirt armor or handheld for dual-wield poses.
• Senkou Maru Naginata — Long polearm (glaive/naginata) with detailed blade; attaches to the back or handheld for sweeping attacks.
• Shoryu Maru Gun — Rifle-style firearm; attaches to the back or handheld for ranged options.
• Articulation — Solid range for MG: ball-jointed shoulders/elbows/hips, double-joint knees, flexible wrists/ankles, and movable skirt armor — supports dynamic samurai poses, sword combos, or naginata swings.
• Manipulators — Multiple hand parts (fists, weapon-holding, open-palm) for versatile gripping.
• Details — Sharp sculpting of samurai armor plates, helmet horns, flowing scarf-like elements, and mechanical textures; foil stickers for extra markings, eyes, and highlights (panel lining enhances the ornate look).

This kit is a fan-favorite for collectors of samurai-style Gundam variants or Dynasty Warriors: Gundam crossovers — its gold plating, intricate weapons, and poseability make it perfect for dramatic sword/naginata poses or display as a "Sengoku warrior" centerpiece. Builders praise the gold runners, silver blades, and how it captures the "Musha" aesthetic perfectly. Pair it with other Musha Gundam kits (e.g., Shin Musha Gundam Mk-II) for a full samurai lineup or with standard Gundam kits for crossover fun.
