Unleash the power of the King of Hearts with the RG Burning Gundam 1/144 from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Formerly released internationally as the RG God Gundam, Bandai Spirits now uses the official English name Burning Gundam on current packaging, while the kit itself remains unchanged.
As the 37th release in the acclaimed Real Grade (RG) line, the Burning Gundam combines incredible articulation, cutting-edge engineering and stunning mechanical detail into one of the most poseable 1/144 scale Gunpla kits ever produced. Designed specifically to recreate the martial arts-inspired combat of the anime, this is widely regarded as one of the finest Real Grade kits Bandai has ever made.
Domon Kasshu’s Ultimate Mobile Fighter
Piloted by Domon Kasshu, the GF13-017NJII Burning Gundam represents the pinnacle of Neo Japan’s Mobile Fighter technology. Built for hand-to-hand combat rather than conventional ranged warfare, the Burning Gundam relies on speed, agility and devastating martial arts techniques to defeat its opponents.
Equipped with the legendary God Finger, Sekiha Tenkyoken and Hyper Mode, the Burning Gundam became one of the most iconic mobile suits in Gundam history, earning a devoted following thanks to its spectacular battles and unforgettable finishing moves.
Revolutionary Real Grade Engineering
The RG Burning Gundam features Bandai’s innovative Advanced MS Joint 20 system, designed specifically to maximise flexibility while maintaining strength and stability.
Highlights include:
- Highly detailed internal frame
- Human anatomy-inspired articulation
- Advanced shoulder mechanisms
- Sliding hip joints
- Flexible spine and torso movement
- Exceptional balance
The result is a model capable of recreating natural martial arts movements that were previously impossible in 1/144 scale.
Incredible Martial Arts Poseability
The RG Burning Gundam has become famous for its outstanding articulation.
Thanks to its advanced engineering, the kit can effortlessly perform:
- High kicks
- Deep crouches
- Martial arts stances
- Crossed-arm poses
- Flying kicks
- One-legged balancing poses
Bandai even redesigned the ankles, toes, knees and waist specifically to reproduce realistic body movement, making this one of the most expressive Gunpla kits ever released.
Hyper Mode Gimmicks
The Burning Gundam faithfully recreates its iconic Hyper Mode with several impressive mechanical features.
Included are:
- Opening chest armour
- Expanding shoulder armour
- Deployable back unit
- Three-piece PET “Sun Wheel” effect
- Hyper Mode ring effect
These components combine to recreate the dramatic transformation seen throughout Mobile Fighter G Gundam, giving the completed model incredible display presence.
Complete Signature Arsenal
The RG Burning Gundam includes all of its essential weapons and accessories.
Included are:
- Core Lander
- Two Beam Swords
- God Finger right hand
- Multiple interchangeable hands
- Open hands
- Martial arts hands
- Realistic decal sheet
The Core Lander can be displayed independently or docked with the mobile suit, while the variety of hand options allows builders to recreate nearly every signature attack from the anime.
Outstanding Mechanical Detail
Despite its compact 1/144 scale, the RG Burning Gundam features remarkable surface detail and colour separation.
It’s the perfect project for builders looking to enhance the finished model with:
- Panel lining
- Water-slide decals
- Metallic detailing
- Matte or gloss top coats
- Airbrushed shading
- Dynamic action displays
The layered armour and exposed mechanical sections create an impressive finish straight from the box.
Perfect for G Gundam Fans
The RG Burning Gundam looks incredible alongside other Mobile Fighter G Gundam kits and Real Grade releases, including:
- RG Shining Gundam
It is also fully compatible with Bandai Action Bases (sold separately), allowing you to recreate dramatic airborne martial arts poses.

Langley –
The RG God Gundam is an incredible piece of plastic – featuring limited usage of the Advanced MS Joint parts, it holds itself together very well and can be posed in a myriad of ways. I currently have mine in a somewhat interesting samurai katana stance.
The arms however do hold a bit of iffy-ness to them that can only be described as “is this going to break?” syndrome, due to the fact that it’s the only part of the whole kit with Advanced MS Joint to it. Though it’s not broken on me yet after quite a few weeks of toying around with and changing poses.
TL:DR; great kit, iffy arms but pose and detail is great
