Bandai SD Gundam EX-Standard ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos No.010 Gunpla Model Kit

Bring the imposing ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos to life with the Bandai SD Gundam EX-Standard No.010 Gunpla Model Kit — a compact, highly detailed interpretation of one of the most recognisable mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Designed in Bandai's distinctive SD Gundam EX-Standard style, this kit combines exaggerated Super Deformed proportions with an aggressive mechanical appearance, giving Gundam Barbatos a powerful presence despite its compact size.

The model features the characteristic Barbatos head, angular armour, pronounced shoulders, exposed mechanical styling and distinctive weapon loadout. Its design is particularly striking in SD form, with the oversized proportions making the mobile suit's defining features immediately visible.

Whether you're building your first Gunpla, expanding an SD Gundam collection or looking for a compact model to customise and display, the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos No.010 delivers an engaging build and an instantly recognisable finished model.

Iconic Gundam Barbatos Design

The ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos is characterised by a rugged, heavily mechanical appearance that sets it apart from many other Gundam designs.

The SD EX-Standard kit captures those defining characteristics and translates them into a deliberately exaggerated Super Deformed silhouette.

The finished model features:

• Distinctive Gundam-style head and V-fin
• Angular white and blue armour
• Contrasting red and yellow detailing
• Broad shoulder armour
• Exposed mechanical sections
• Compact, heavily proportioned body
• Large articulated-looking limbs
• Oversized weaponry
• Characteristic Barbatos silhouette

The result is a model that is immediately identifiable as Gundam Barbatos while giving the original design a more compact and stylised appearance.

SD Gundam EX-Standard Format

The SD Gundam EX-Standard range is designed around compact Super Deformed proportions, combining a large head and exaggerated features with a smaller body.

This approach gives the Barbatos an especially distinctive appearance.

The large head and compact torso make the model highly expressive, while the oversized weapons complement the proportions and give the finished build a strong display presence.

The kit is non-scale, meaning it is designed around the SD format rather than a conventional 1/144 or 1/100 scale.

This makes it particularly easy to display alongside other SD Gundam EX-Standard models.

Three Signature Weapons Included

The kit includes a selection of weapons that complement Gundam Barbatos' distinctive combat design.

Mace

The large Mace is the standout weapon of the kit.

Its oversized proportions suit the SD design perfectly and give the completed model an immediately recognisable Barbatos appearance.

The heavy weapon also provides an excellent option for dynamic display poses.

Sword

A Sword is included as an alternative close-combat weapon.

The sword can also be mounted to the rear of the mobile suit when not being used, allowing for a cleaner configuration or a different display arrangement.

Long-Range Cannon

The kit also includes the Long-Range Cannon, providing an additional weapon configuration and giving builders more flexibility when displaying the completed model.

Together, the included weapons give this compact kit a surprisingly substantial equipment loadout.

Designed for Dynamic Display

One of the key characteristics of this SDEX release is its emphasis on articulation and posing.

The proportions are designed to allow the completed Barbatos to be displayed in expressive action poses rather than simply standing upright.

This makes the model particularly effective when displayed with its weapons equipped.

Pose it wielding the oversized Mace for an aggressive close-combat appearance, equip the Sword for a different configuration, or use the Long-Range Cannon to create an alternative display.

The compact size also means it can be displayed easily on desks, shelves and within larger Gunpla collections.

Build It Yourself

This is a genuine Bandai Gunpla plastic model kit, supplied for assembly.

The kit provides the satisfaction of constructing the mobile suit yourself, transforming individual plastic components into a finished Gundam Barbatos model.

It is an excellent introduction to the Gunpla hobby because of its compact SD construction, while experienced builders can also use it as a quick project or customisation base.

The completed model can be enjoyed straight from the box or enhanced with additional modelling techniques.

Customisation Potential

The Barbatos' mechanical design makes it particularly suitable for hobbyists who enjoy adding extra detail.

Panel Lining

Use panel lining to emphasise armour separation and mechanical recesses, helping the sculpted details stand out more clearly.

Painting

Additional paint can be used to enhance the existing colour separation or create a completely customised Barbatos.

Weathering

The rugged mechanical appearance lends itself naturally to weathering effects, allowing builders to create a more heavily used or battle-worn appearance.

Top Coating

A suitable top coat can alter the surface finish and give the completed model a more refined presentation.

The kit therefore works equally well as a straightforward build or as a starting point for a more involved modelling project.

Compact Display Size

The SD format gives this Barbatos a very small footprint compared with larger Gunpla grades.

When assembled, the model stands at approximately 8 cm / 3 inches tall, making it particularly convenient for desktop and shelf displays.

Its compact dimensions make it easy to incorporate into:

• Gaming desks
• Bookshelves
• Display cabinets
• Gunpla collections
• Anime merchandise displays
• SD Gundam collections

Despite its small size, the exaggerated proportions and large weapons give it considerable visual impact.

A Strong Collectible for Gundam Fans

The ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos is one of the defining designs from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, and this SD EX-Standard interpretation offers a particularly accessible way to add the mobile suit to a collection.

Its compact size makes it easy to collect alongside other SD releases, while the distinctive weapon selection and aggressive styling ensure that it doesn't disappear among other smaller collectibles.

The combination of:

Iconic mobile suit + Bandai Gunpla + SD proportions + multiple weapons + customisation potential

makes this an appealing choice for both collectors and builders.
