5063047 - Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame D

The Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame D (5063047) is a Master Grade model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray, featuring Gai Murakumo’s heavily upgraded Blue Frame variant designed for extreme close-quarters combat and high-output weapon systems.

This MG kit uses Bandai’s advanced inner frame structure, giving it strong articulation and mechanical realism while maintaining the signature Astray proportions. The engineering focuses on recreating a humanoid “skeleton-like” frame, allowing wide poseability and stable balance even with its large weapon loadout.

The Blue Frame D stands out for its Dragoon-based weapon system, which is unusual for an Astray unit. It equips multiple “Dragoon Swords” that can be deployed individually or combined for powerful attack formations. It also includes a large signature blade weapon system that can extend into a massive sword configuration for dramatic melee combat displays.

Key equipment included:

• Dragoon Swords (multi-unit detachable blades)
• Large combined sword (high-output melee weapon)
• Beam weapon systems integrated into armaments
• Aile Striker-derived backpack variant for mobility support
• Optional ranged twin gun equipment depending on configuration

The backpack system is also highly functional, allowing flight display setups using an included stand. This makes it suitable for dynamic airborne poses as well as grounded melee stances.

Another highlight of this MG is its multi-character display options, typically including small pilot figures such as Gai Murakumo and Elsa Weiss, which add extra value for diorama or cockpit presentation.

Visually, the Blue Frame D keeps the Astray family’s clean frame design but adds a more aggressive silhouette with layered armor, oversized weaponry, and a distinctly “custom-built war machine” aesthetic compared to standard Gundams.

The Bandai MG Astray Blue Frame D is a strong choice for SEED Astray fans or builders who enjoy:

• Heavy melee-focused Gundams
• Highly detailed inner-frame Master Grade builds
• Custom weapon gimmicks and modular loadouts
• Dynamic action posing with large weapons

Overall, it’s one of the more distinctive Astray variants, combining elegant frame engineering with over-the-top weaponry that pushes it into a more super-robot-like combat style.
