The SD Gundam EX-Standard #018 XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW (also known as SDEX #018 or SD EX-Standard Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz) is a Super Deformed (SD) plastic model kit released by Bandai in April 2017 (April 2017 in Japan). It recreates the Wing Gundam Zero from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz in a cute, chibi-style SD format — featuring exaggerated proportions, big head, tiny body, and playful charm while retaining the suit's iconic angel-like wings, Twin Buster Rifle, and dramatic red/white/blue/gold scheme.
This snap-fit kit (no glue required) is part of the SD Gundam EX-Standard line, which offers improved proportions, better posability (via newly designed joints), and 3mm joint compatibility with HG 1/144 Gunpla for weapon/accessory swaps. It stands approximately 8.5 cm (3.34 inches) tall when assembled — compact, shelf-friendly, and perfect for beginners, kids, or collectors adding a fun, stylized Wing Zero to their lineup.
Key Features & Armaments
- Chibi Proportions — Classic SD style with oversized head, stubby limbs, and cute yet heroic expression; white/red/blue/gold scheme with metallic accents and translucent parts for wings/eyes.
- Neo-Bird Mode — Simplified transformation to bird/fighter form: wings fold out, limbs collapse, and backpack aligns for a streamlined pose (not full transformation but display-friendly).
- Twin Buster Rifle — Massive double-barreled beam weapon; posable grip and mounting options (handheld, shoulder-mounted, or split into two rifles); includes clear effect parts for beam glow.
- Beam Saber — Stored in shield or arms; clear effect parts for glowing blade.
- 3mm Joints — Abundant connection points on body, backpack, hands, and weapons — enables cross-compatibility with HG 1/144 kits (e.g., use Wing Zero's rifle on a full-scale Gundam for "super angel" customs).
- Articulation — Improved over older SD/BB kits: shoulders, elbows, hips, and neck for basic dynamic poses (rifle firing, wing spread, or saber swing); not as extensive as HG/MG but sufficient for SD fun.
- Details — Sharp molding of angel wings, thrusters, shield, and mechanical textures; foil stickers for markings, eyes, vents, and highlights (no waterslide decals standard).
Included Items
- XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW main body (fully pre-colored runners)
- Twin Buster Rifle (combinable/splittable)
- Beam Saber
- Shield
- Hand parts set (fists, weapon-holding)
- Foil sticker sheet
- Instruction manual (simple pictorial steps with combo ideas; bilingual Japanese/English in some editions)
This kit is a charming, budget-friendly take on Wing Gundam Zero EW — capturing Heero Yuy's "angel of death" power in adorable chibi form with solid posability and HG compatibility for fun swaps. It's praised for stylish proportions, ease of assembly, and value — ideal as a quick build, display piece, or starting point for SD Wing collections. If you're after more detail/articulation, consider the MG Wing Gundam Zero EW or RG versions instead, but this #018 nails the cute-yet-epic vibe perfectly!
