Bandai Gundam Gunpla
Rick Dom Gaia Ortega Custom (1/144)
This High Grade 1/144 Rick Dom Gaia Ortega Custom kit offers a modern reinterpretation of a classic heavy mobile suit within the Gundam Gunpla range. Based on its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the design keeps the bulky, powerful look of the original Rick Dom while introducing updated detailing and enhanced mobility. The kit is moulded in colour and designed for snap-fit assembly, allowing for a clean and straightforward build without glue.
The model features a transformation into a high-speed mode without the need for parts swapping, adding flexibility to how it can be displayed. Its articulation supports dynamic posing despite its heavier frame, and the included weapon systems further enhance its presence. The Giant Bazooka and electromagnetic anchor, complete with wire, provide a range of display options, making it a versatile kit that balances visual impact with functionality.

History:
The Rick Dom is a space-use variant of the Dom mobile suit, originally developed by the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. Known for its heavy armour and powerful thrusters, it was designed for high-speed combat in space environments. Variants such as the Gaia and Ortega units are often associated with elite pilots, highlighting the machine’s performance capabilities. In Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the design is reimagined with updated features while retaining its core identity. This blend of classic design and modern reinterpretation keeps the Rick Dom relevant within newer Gundam timelines and makes it a strong subject for Gunpla builds.
