Description

This listing is for a Bandai model kit, visible in its original illustrated box. It is the "Bigro" model, from the Mobile Suit Gundam universe, clearly identified by the visual on the box and the Japanese inscriptions. The front illustration highlights the Bigro mobile robot, recognizable by its ovoid shape, its light green color, and its two articulated arms ending in massive claws. In the background, graphic elements evoke space and the characteristic atmosphere of the Gundam series.

In the upper left section, the "1/550 SCALE" mention is clearly visible, confirming the scale of the model, information taken from the keywords. The "Gundam" (ガンダム) logo is present at the bottom left of the box, reinforcing the authenticity and official license of the product. The box features vintage graphics typical of the 70s-80s, with a red and orange gradient background evoking a space scene, and a prominent display of the Bigro mecha in a dynamic pose.

The main colors observed are light green for the robot, touches of black for technical details, as well as shades of red and orange in the background. The box also shows a character in a green suit on the right, typical of period illustrations for this type of product. The graphic style, Japanese lettering, and overall appearance indicate a vintage edition, consistent with the "Vintage Series" mention in the keywords.

The visible face of the box does not show any major apparent defects: the visual is clear, the colors remain vibrant, and the cardboard seems to retain good rigidity. No chips, tears, or signs of moisture are observable on the front part. However, some slight signs of wear or rubbing may be present, typical of an old used item.

The item offered is a plastic model kit to assemble, intended for the faithful reconstruction of the Bigro robot from the Gundam license. This type of kit is particularly sought after for its retro look and the quality of its original illustrations. The format of the box is rectangular, with neat printing and precise Japanese inscriptions.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Only the front face of the box is visible in the photo; the condition of the contents or other faces is not described here.

Did you know? The Mobile Suit Gundam series, launched in Japan in 1979, revolutionized the mecha genre by introducing a more realistic and scripted approach to giant robot battles. The Bigro, an emblematic Zeon mobile armor, appears in the first series and stands out for its atypical design and its capabilities in space combat.
