Step into high-stakes combat with the HGUC 1/144 Blue Destiny Unit 1 Exam, a specialized mobile suit equipped with the EXAM System from Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny. Designed for high-performance close combat and superior speed, Blue Destiny Unit 1 is a formidable Earth Federation mobile suit that plays a pivotal role in the Blue Destiny storyline. This High Grade model kit captures the iconic design of the Blue Destiny Unit 1, featuring its powerful EXAM system, advanced weaponry, and dynamic articulation.

Story & Background: The RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 is a customized Earth Federation mobile suit equipped with the EXAM System, a special combat system designed to enhance the abilities of Newtype pilots. The mobile suit was part of a secret development project, and it first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny. Piloted by Yuu Kajima, Blue Destiny Unit 1 is known for its incredible speed, agility, and close-combat capabilities. The EXAM system allows the suit to operate at heightened performance levels, making it one of the most advanced units in the Federation's arsenal during the One Year War.

The EXAM System was developed as a way to replicate Newtype combat abilities in non-Newtype pilots, allowing Blue Destiny Unit 1 to gain a significant advantage in battle when activated. However, this powerful system comes with its risks, as it pushes both the mobile suit and its pilot to their limits.

Key Features:

• EXAM System Activation Mode: One of the most iconic features of Blue Destiny Unit 1 is its EXAM System, which greatly enhances the mobile suit’s performance. When activated, the suit’s visor turns red, and its combat abilities are significantly heightened. The model kit includes parts to recreate the EXAM activation mode, featuring a translucent red visor part that replaces the standard blue one, capturing the intense transformation during battle.
• Beam Sabers: Blue Destiny Unit 1 comes equipped with Beam Sabers for close-quarters combat. The kit includes translucent pink effect parts to simulate the glowing beam blades, allowing for dynamic melee combat poses that showcase the mobile suit’s superior speed and precision.
• 100mm Machine Gun: The primary long-range weapon of Blue Destiny Unit 1 is the 100mm Machine Gun, providing rapid-fire capability for mid-range combat. The detailed machine gun can be posed in various firing positions, giving the mobile suit a well-rounded offensive loadout.
• Shield: The Shield included with the kit is designed for defense during intense combat scenarios. It can be attached to the arm for added protection, and its design complements the sleek, blue color scheme of the mobile suit.
• Dynamic Articulation: The HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1 features advanced articulation in its limbs, torso, and head, allowing for a wide range of action poses. Whether displayed in an aggressive attack stance with its Beam Sabers or firing its Machine Gun, the model’s articulation provides flexibility for recreating high-speed combat scenes.
• Color Separation and Markings: The model kit features accurate color separation, with Blue Destiny Unit 1’s signature blue and white color scheme faithfully recreated out of the box. Stickers are included for additional detailing, such as Earth Federation insignias, EXAM system markings, and tactical unit details, giving the mobile suit a polished and authentic look.
• Mono-Eye Movement: True to its Zeon origins, Blue Destiny Unit 1’s mono-eye can be adjusted, adding an expressive and realistic touch to the model. This feature brings the mobile suit to life in various poses, whether it’s tracking enemies in battle or readying for an attack.
• Stable Build & Balanced Design: Despite its advanced features and dynamic articulation, Blue Destiny Unit 1 remains well-balanced and capable of holding a variety of poses without losing stability. The model’s sturdy construction ensures that it remains secure in both action poses and neutral displays.
• Snap-Fit Assembly: The HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1 is designed for easy snap-fit assembly, making it accessible to both beginner and experienced builders. The clear, step-by-step instructions ensure a smooth and enjoyable building experience without the need for glue or painting.
