The HG 1/144 Gundam Hajiroboshi box artwork showcases the distinctive Gundam Frame mobile suit in its powerful combat configuration, highlighting its unique proportions, large rear thrusters, and specialized Crab Shield.
The artwork emphasizes the Hajiroboshi's white, gray, yellow, and purple color scheme along with its signature Smart Mace and short-range rifle.
As one of the central mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt, the packaging captures the machine's rugged mechanical aesthetic and its connection to the Gundam Frame lineage.
The Gundam Hajiroboshi is one of the 72 Gundam Frames developed during the Calamity War and is derived from the ASW-G-35 Gundam Marchosias design lineage. It serves as the primary mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt and is piloted by Wistario Afam.
The HG kit reproduces the Hajiroboshi's unusual mechanical silhouette with a detailed Gundam Frame-based construction. Its relatively compact body is contrasted by the large movable thruster units mounted on the rear, giving the mobile suit a distinctive high-mobility appearance.
One of the most recognizable components is the Crab Shield mounted on the left arm. The shield incorporates articulated claws that can open outward, transforming the defensive equipment into an offensive capture weapon. A central needle mechanism can also be deployed from the shield.
The rear thrusters are independently movable and can swing from side to side. This allows builders to adjust their positioning while creating dynamic aerial and combat poses.
The kit also includes dedicated storage points on the waist for the Smart Mace and 110mm Short-Range Rifle, allowing the weapons to remain attached to the mobile suit when not being actively used.
The HG 1/144 ASW-G-35 Gundam Hajiroboshi brings the protagonist Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt to the High Grade Iron-Blooded Orphans lineup.
Hajiroboshi is a particularly distinctive member of the Gundam Frame family. Its design combines the familiar exposed mechanical construction of the Iron-Blooded Orphans Gundam Frames with a more unusual silhouette featuring large rear-mounted thrusters and an aggressive, specialized shield system.
The machine was developed from the Gundam Marchosias lineage, connecting it to the broader history of the 72 Gundam Frames created during the Calamity War. In Urdr-Hunt, the Hajiroboshi becomes the mobile suit of Wistario Afam, giving the model an important role within the Iron-Blooded Orphans universe.
Bandai's HGIBO engineering allows the Hajiroboshi to achieve a strong range of articulation while maintaining the characteristic mechanical appearance of the series. The arms and legs feature multiple points of movement, while the waist and torso provide additional flexibility for dynamic posing.
The large rear-mounted thrusters are especially important to the Hajiroboshi's appearance. These units can swing independently from side to side, allowing builders to adjust the mobile suit's silhouette and create more convincing high-speed or aerial poses.
The Crab Shield is arguably the most distinctive accessory included with the kit. Unlike a conventional shield, the Crab Shield incorporates articulated claws that can open outward and a central needle mechanism. This allows the shield to function as both defensive equipment and a close-combat weapon.
The Smart Mace provides the Hajiroboshi with a compact but powerful melee weapon. Its design is consistent with the heavy close-combat weaponry commonly associated with Iron-Blooded Orphans mobile suits.
For ranged combat, the kit includes the 110mm Short-Range Rifle. Its compact size complements the Hajiroboshi's close-to-mid-range combat style and can be stored on the side of the waist when not in use.
The kit's molded color separation reproduces the Hajiroboshi's distinctive white, gray, yellow, and purple appearance. Foil stickers are provided for additional color details, allowing builders to achieve a recognizable finished appearance straight out of the box.
At approximately 127mm / 5 inches tall, the completed model maintains a compact 1/144 scale while offering a substantial amount of mechanical detail and posing potential.
Faithfully recreates the protagonist mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt.
Uses the characteristic Gundam Frame-style mechanical structure associated with the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG lineup.
The distinctive Crab Shield features movable claws that can open outward for an aggressive combat configuration.
The Crab Shield includes a central needle mechanism inspired by the weapon's functionality in Urdr-Hunt.
The two large rear thruster units can swing independently from side to side, greatly expanding posing possibilities.
Includes the Hajiroboshi's signature close-combat Smart Mace.
A compact ranged weapon designed for the Hajiroboshi's combat configuration.
Dedicated side-waist mounts allow the Smart Mace and Short-Range Rifle to be stored when not in use.
Multiple joints throughout the body allow the Hajiroboshi to achieve a wide variety of combat and aerial poses.
Different colored plastic parts reproduce the major colors of the mobile suit with minimal reliance on stickers.
Additional foil seals provide color accents and finer details for the finished model.
Compact enough for a collection while providing the detailed mechanical appearance expected from the HG Iron-Blooded Orphans series.

The HG 1/144 Gundam Hajiroboshi stands out as one of the most unusual Gundam Frame designs in the Iron-Blooded Orphans universe.
Its combination of large movable rear thrusters, articulated Crab Shield claws, deployable shield needle, Smart Mace, 110mm Short-Range Rifle, and Gundam Frame-based articulation gives the kit a distinctive identity that separates it from more traditional Gundam designs.
The Crab Shield in particular gives the Hajiroboshi an impressive display gimmick, allowing the model to be posed in both defensive and aggressive configurations. Combined with the independently movable rear thrusters, the kit is especially well suited to dynamic action poses.
