■RG series

The RG booth focuses on the just-released 00 Raiser and the upcoming Gundam Astray Red Frame. This new kit carries forward the RG concept of basing designs on real-world engineering,
drawing out the "Astray-ness" of the Red Frame with almost-human mobility
and detailing based on musculature.
