Build one of the most iconic Mobile Suits from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 with the Bandai Master Grade 1/100 GN-001 Gundam Exia Model Kit.
Piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei, Gundam Exia is a highly agile close-combat Mobile Suit instantly recognisable by its athletic proportions, distinctive blue, white, red and yellow armour and extensive arsenal of GN-powered bladed weapons.
Bandai's Master Grade engineering recreates Exia in impressive 1/100 scale with a detailed internal mechanical frame beneath the exterior armour. Translucent components and flexible GN Cable details running through the limbs further enhance the mechanical appearance, giving builders plenty to appreciate both during construction and once the model is complete.
Exia's famous Seven Swords concept is represented through an extensive weapon selection, including the transforming GN Sword, GN Long Blade, GN Short Blade, beam sabres and beam daggers. The weapons can be equipped around the completed model, allowing you to recreate a wide variety of close-combat configurations.
The model also features a removable GN Drive unit, adding another mechanical display element to the build.
With approximately 262 parts, sophisticated articulation and Bandai's glue-free snap-fit construction, MG Gundam Exia delivers a rewarding build for Gundam fans looking for a substantial centrepiece for their Gundam 00 collection.

🤖 GN-001 Gundam Exia
The GN-001 Gundam Exia is one of the defining Mobile Suits of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and the machine most closely associated with Setsuna F. Seiei.
Designed primarily around close-quarters combat, Exia possesses a leaner and more athletic appearance than many heavily armoured Gundams.
Its sharp silhouette, GN technology and extensive collection of bladed weapons create an unmistakable appearance that Bandai recreates in detail with this Master Grade model.
⚙️ Detailed Master Grade Internal Frame
As a Master Grade kit, Gundam Exia provides a significantly more involved construction experience than a standard High Grade model.
A detailed internal mechanical skeleton forms the foundation of the Mobile Suit, with individual armour components attached over the articulated structure as the build progresses.
This layered construction provides both mechanical detail and extensive articulation while making the assembly process itself an important part of the Gunpla experience.
✨ GN Cable Details
One of Exia's most recognisable mechanical characteristics is represented through the model's GN Cable components.
Flexible holographic-style elements run through sections of the limbs, complementing the translucent GN particle capacitor details and adding visual depth between the armour components.
These elements help distinguish Exia from other Master Grade Gundams and reinforce its unique Gundam 00 technology.
⚔️ Complete Seven Swords Arsenal
Gundam Exia is a close-combat specialist, and this Master Grade kit includes an extensive collection of its signature bladed weapons.
The arsenal includes:
- GN Sword
- GN Long Blade
- GN Short Blade
- 2 GN Beam Sabers
- 2 GN Beam Daggers
Together, these weapons form Exia's famous Seven Swords equipment concept.
The weapons can be equipped or stored around the Mobile Suit, allowing you to display Exia fully armed or create individual combat configurations.
🗡️ Transforming GN Sword
At the heart of Exia's arsenal is the distinctive GN Sword, combining close-combat weaponry with defensive and ranged functionality.
Its mechanical design adds another layer of complexity to the finished model and provides numerous possibilities for dynamic battle poses.
Combine it with Exia's excellent articulation to create lunging attacks, defensive stances and sword-fighting displays inspired by the anime.
🔋 Removable GN Drive
The kit recreates Exia's distinctive GN Drive unit, which can be removed from the rear of the Mobile Suit.
This feature adds another level of mechanical interaction to the model and allows the GN Drive to be appreciated separately from the completed Gundam.
The design also accommodates compatible official lighting equipment where applicable, allowing builders to further enhance the appearance of the GN Drive.
🤸 Highly Articulated Construction
The Master Grade internal frame provides Exia with extensive articulation designed around its fast, close-combat fighting style.
The completed model can be positioned in:
- Sword-fighting poses
- Lunging attacks
- Dual-blade configurations
- Defensive stances
- Kneeling poses
- Dynamic airborne displays
- Seven Swords configurations
A compatible display base can further expand the range of aerial poses.
🔧 Bandai Snap-Fit Engineering
Despite the model's approximately 262 components, Bandai's precision engineering means traditional model cement isn't necessary.
The components use a snap-fit assembly system, securely connecting as the internal frame, armour and weapons are constructed.
No glue is required for the standard build.
This keeps the assembly process clean while still providing the complexity expected from a Master Grade Gunpla.
🎨 Pre-Coloured Parts – Painting Optional
Gundam Exia's components are moulded in multiple colours to recreate its characteristic appearance during assembly.
This means painting isn't required to achieve an attractive finished model.
Experienced builders can further enhance the kit with:
- Panel lining
- Detail painting
- Additional decals
- Metallic mechanical accents
- Shading
- Weathering
- Custom colour schemes
The exposed mechanical details and internal frame provide plenty of opportunities for advanced customisation.
📏 Master Grade 1/100 Scale
Standing approximately 18cm tall, MG Gundam Exia offers substantially more presence and mechanical detail than a typical 1/144 Gunpla.
The larger 1/100 scale also allows the internal structure, GN Cable details and extensive weapon systems to become important visual features rather than simply accessories.
Display it alongside other Gundam 00 Master Grade kits to build an impressive Celestial Being collection.
🛠️ Building Experience
With approximately 262 parts, a difficulty level around 4/5 and an estimated assembly time of 4–5 hours, MG Gundam Exia offers a satisfying project for intermediate and experienced Gunpla builders.
A quality pair of model-making nippers is recommended for clean part removal, while a hobby knife and sanding tools can help achieve an even cleaner finish.
Glue and painting equipment aren't required for the standard build.
