HG 1/144 NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago

One of the most intimidating mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam X is finally making its return in modern GunPla form. Bandai Spirits has officially unveiled the HGAW 1/144 Gundam Virsago, the powerful mobile suit piloted by Shagia Frost.

The Gundam Virsago faithfully recreates the mobile suit’s signature Strike Claw extension gimmick, allowing the long mechanical arms to stretch outward for dramatic attack poses straight out of the anime. The HG kit also reproduces the abdominal deployment mechanism used when firing the devastating Mega Sonic Cannon, one of the most iconic weapons from Gundam X.

Bandai has additionally included the connecting gimmick for the optional Strike Shooters, giving builders more ways to display the Virsago in combat configurations. Alongside its signature armaments, the release also comes with a beam saber, interchangeable hand parts, and foil stickers.

Accessories included with the kit:Pre-Order Action Figures
- Strike Shooter ×2
- Strike Shooter Combination Parts ×1
- Beam Saber ×1
- Hand Parts Set ×1
- Foil Sticker ×1

Originally developed by the Government Reconstruction Committee, the NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago specialized in long-range destruction and aggressive close combat. Its abdomen-mounted Mega Sonic Cannon could unleash concentrated beams powerful enough to overwhelm enemy mobile suits or spread diffused blasts across multiple targets. Combined with its extendable Strike Claws equipped with beam cannons, the Virsago became one of the most dangerous mobile suits in the series.

Although capable of independent flight, the Virsago was often seen riding atop the NRX-0015 Gundam Ashtaron in Mobile Armor mode, allowing the Frost brothers to move quickly across the battlefield while conserving propellant. Like the Ashtaron, the Virsago was based on the GB-9700 Gundam Belphagor but did not utilize the Flash System.

With both the Gundam Virsago and Gundam Ashtaron now joining the HGAW lineup, longtime fans of Mobile Suit Gundam X are finally getting a modern revival of the Frost brothers’ iconic mobile suits.
