China Model Kits might not have caught up with Bandai's Gunpla when it comes to playability, But they certainly could make some cool looking designs even if they are still not the most original ones. Coming from a manufacturer called Eddas Technology, China hobby industry now have a counterpart with Full Armor Thunderbolt Gundam simply under Asgard callname. Scheduled for December 2024 release , this is yet another 1/100 Scale Model kit that comes with Diecast Frame and will be sold for 199 RMB.
Designed as a Heavy Armor build, 1/100 Asgard is yet another cool looking Chinese Gundam that is a crossbreed between Nu Gundam, Hazel and FA Thunderbolt. Apart from standard issue mecha equipment, Asgard comes with a pair of Twin heavy Energy cannon that seems to have several attack configurations. I would have been a sucker if this model kit comes with Armor purge gimmick, but given the mecha's bulk build is based on Hazel, it is unlikely that this mecha had one. While it won't have particularly good articulation, as a showpiece Eddas 1/100 Asgard will do the job and as a product it will be pretty good as China's plastic injection technology are actually almost caught up with Japan by this time. To close this article, I will leave the contens reference for the model kit and I am quite sure this one has a bonus part for first batch too.
