The RG 1/144 XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X1 is a Bandai Spirits Gunpla from Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam. This combat unit, used by space pirates, is distinguished by its skull-shaped emblem, its cross-arranged thrusters, and its particularly versatile arsenal.
This Real Grade version at 1/144 scale was developed around the "Extreme Detail" concept. Despite the compact size of the Crossbone Gundam X1, the kit offers significant mechanical density, precise color separation, and numerous functional mechanisms.
The model uses a newly developed Advanced MS Joint to reproduce the internal structure of this small-sized mobile suit. This frame notably allows for good articulation while integrating the transformation and combination mechanism of the Core Fighter.
The Core Fighter can be displayed as an independent unit. It can also be transformed and then connected to the body of the Crossbone Gundam X1 to reproduce its complete integration into the backpack.
The head features a particularly detailed construction. The Vulcans, the skull-shaped emblem, and the various sensors are reproduced using small separate parts, while an optional eye patch allows for modifying the appearance of the face.
The characteristic thermal exhaust mechanism of the Crossbone Gundam is also present. The cooling fins located under the jaw can be deployed to reproduce its appearance during phases of high stress.
The knee armor incorporates a movement mechanism linked to the joints. They follow the bending of the legs to maintain the continuity of the armor and enhance the realism of dynamic poses.
The kit includes a Beam Zanber and a Buster Gun. These two weapons can be used separately or combined to form the Zanbuster, one of the most recognizable weapons of the Crossbone Gundam X1.
Two Brand Markers, two Beam Sabers, and several Heat Daggers complete its close-combat equipment. Additional blades can be attached under the feet to reproduce the characteristic leg attacks.
The model also features two Scissor Anchors installed on the front skirts, as well as a Beam Shield with its transparent effect part. This equipment allows for varied poses between attack, capture, and defense.
The iconic ABC Mantle is included with a sculpted shape evoking dynamic movement. It can be installed around the model to recreate the space pirate silhouette unique to the Crossbone Gundam X1.
With its transformable Core Fighter, deployable face, cape, and vast arsenal, the RG Crossbone Gundam X1 is an essential piece for fans of Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam and compact yet particularly detailed Real Grade Gunpla.
