5059166 - Bandai HG 1/144 GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X

The Bandai HG 1/144 GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X (5059166) is a High Grade model kit from After War Gundam X, featuring Garrod Ran’s upgraded Gundam and one of the most powerful mobile suits of the After War timeline.

This HG kit uses Bandai’s snap-fit construction system, with color-separated plastic parts that allow it to be built without glue or paint. It recreates the Double X’s bold silhouette, including its large backpack, shoulder-mounted reflectors, and heavy chest armor that define its long-range “Satellite System” design.

A defining feature of the Gundam Double X is its Satellite System Mk-II, which channels microwave energy from space-based reflectors to power its devastating main weapon. This system enables the iconic Twin Satellite Cannon, a double-barreled beam cannon capable of extreme long-range destruction.

The kit includes its signature weapon loadout:

• Twin Satellite Cannon (deployable backpack reflectors)
• Buster Rifle
• Hyper Beam Sabers
• Head Vulcans and Breast Launchers (built-in armaments)

These give it both long-range firepower and close combat capability, even though it is primarily designed as a long-distance assault unit.

In terms of design, the HG Double X keeps a heavy, symmetrical, and armored appearance, with large wing-like reflector panels that open for its satellite charging mode. These parts are one of the kit’s visual highlights, especially when displayed in “cannon deployed” stance.

Articulation is decent for a bulky HG from the Gundam X line, allowing for:

• Two-handed firing poses with the Buster Rifle
• Wide stances for the Satellite Cannon charging sequence
• Mid-air display poses with a stand (recommended for best effect)

The Bandai HG Double X is a great pick for fans of After War Gundam X or collectors who enjoy big, high-firepower Gundams with dramatic weapon gimmicks. It stands out for its signature “moon-powered” destruction weapon and its clean, bold silhouette that represents the peak of the After War Gundam X power scale.
