5059563 - Bandai HGBF 1/144 Gundam Fenice Rinascita

The Bandai HGBF 1/144 Gundam Fenice Rinascita (5059563) is a High Grade model kit from Gundam Build Fighters, representing Ricardo Fellini’s upgraded custom mobile suit and a refined evolution of the original Gundam Fenice.

This kit is based on the Wing Gundam concept but redesigned with a more symmetrical, modernized silhouette, reflecting its “Rinascita” (meaning rebirth) theme. It uses Bandai’s snap-fit construction system with color-separated parts, allowing it to be built without glue or paint while still achieving a sharp, anime-accurate finish.

One of its key features is its Neo-Bird transformation system, allowing the Gundam to shift from its standard humanoid form into a sleek flight mode. This makes it a highly dynamic kit for display, especially when posed in aerial action setups.

The Fenice Rinascita also comes equipped with a versatile and modular weapon loadout:

• Rinascita Rifle (can split into multiple weapon forms like Buster Rifle, Hand Rifle, and Beam Sword)
• Beam Mantles mounted on the shoulders for added visual flair and defense
• Beam Saber for close combat
• Wing Shield for defensive positioning and transformation support

A standout gimmick is the multi-joint backpack system, which allows additional boosters or custom parts from other Gunpla kits to be attached, making it highly compatible for customization and kitbashing.

In terms of design, the kit emphasizes sleek aerial aesthetics and performance-based styling, with sharp wing lines, improved symmetry compared to the original Fenice, and a more streamlined silhouette suited for high-speed combat poses.

Articulation is strong for an HG kit, especially in the shoulders, hips, and wings, allowing:

• Mid-air firing poses
• Bird-mode flying displays
• Dynamic dual-weapon stances

Overall, the Gundam Fenice Rinascita is a fan-favorite Build Fighters kit that blends elegance, transformation gimmicks, and modular weapon play. It’s especially appealing for builders who enjoy stylish aerial Gundams with strong customization potential and a flashy, “reborn phoenix” theme.
