Celestial Being's unstoppable force is a master grade masterpiece!

A 3rd-Generation Gundam, Exia is designed to be a close quarters combat (CQC) type mobile suit (MS). The unit is the successor to GNY-001 Gundam Astraea and one of the predecessors to GN-0000 00 Gundam. Much of Exia's design was heavily influenced by the Astraea Gundam. What this means is that even though Exia's weapons are specialized for CQC, its basic performance is still that of a general purpose mobile suit. This is mostly evident as Exia is the only Gundam out of the four main 3rd Generation units that retain a MS frame that has human-like range of motion. The lack of this range of motion on the other three units is not considered a weakness but rather because it was deemed unnecessary.

Gundam models, or gunpla, are assembly model kits depicting the vehicles and characters of the fictional anime Gundam universe by Bandai. Gunpla is very popular due to the high-quality of engineering, the flexible articulation of the finished models, the pre-coloured plastic parts, and the ease of construction. No glue is necessary to construct, though specialised plastic cutters or hobby knives are recommended to remove the parts of the sprue. Stickers and decals for markings are usually supplied, as well as a universal instruction sheets.
