P.Bandai MG 1/100 MBF-P05LM2 Gundam Astray Mirage Frame 2nd Issue

The MG Gundam Astray Mirage Frame Second Issue from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED VS ASTRAY is officially joining the Master Grade lineup. This upgraded form of the Mirage Frame, piloted by Rondo Gina Sahaku, is designed for devastating close-range combat and comes with brand-new molding under the supervision of mechanical designer Junichi Akutsu.

After his defeat at the hands of Gai Murakumo, Rondo Gina Sahaku had his MBF-05LM Gundam Astray Mirage Frame upgraded into the MBF-05LM2 Gundam Astray Mirage Frame Second Issue. This new configuration specialized in super close-range combat and originally existed only as simulation data, deemed too dangerous to mass-produce—even Coordinators struggled to withstand its extreme performance. Gina himself could only pilot the machine after undergoing experimental modifications to his body.

The Mirage Frame 2nd ssue retains the base Mirage Frame’s “Igelstellung” 75mm Multi-barrel CIWS, Beam Sabers, and Amenohabakiri sword, while introducing a revised weapon loadout:
- C-Sword A-type (anklet) and B-type (bracelet), replacing the earlier A and B Swords
- Fin Rifles mounted on the shoulders
- Saber Fangs on the back
- Optional Beam Rifle and Shield, though rarely deployed in combat

As an MG kit, it is equipped with fully poseable armaments, including beam rifle, sabers, anti-beam shield, and the newly designed compact C-Swords. The cockpit is accessible, and a newly sculpted Rondo Gina Sahaku figure is included, along with two figures in total, water-transfer decals, effect parts, and an action base.

True to the original design, the kit can seamlessly transform into its iconic four-legged Brute Mode without part-swapping. This mode highlights the unit’s ultra-close-range fighting style, with the Brute Head’s integrated weapons and a curved-firing beam rifle for unique attack options.
