The Gold Frame Amatsu Mina began its life as one of five Gundam Astray units assembled in secret by the Orb Union. In their original configuration, the Gundam Astrays were identical, distinguished only by the color of their internal frame (as the name would suggest). The Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina became Ronda Mina Sahaku’s personal Mobile Suit after her twin brother, Rondo Gina Sahaku, perished inside the almost destroyed MBF-P01-ReAMATU Gold Frame Amatsu at the hands of Gai Murakumo and his Astray Blue Frame Second L. Ronda Mina would retrieve the Gold Frame’s remains and use them to build the Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. Cosmetically, the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is almost identical to the previous version, except for its new leg armor and redesigned feet. The Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina received completely overhauled internals, totaling a 30% increase in overall performance.

Articulation –
The RG Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is one of many early Real Grade models utilizing pre-molded inner frame pieces in its assembly. These parts combine hard and soft plastics to create large movable joint sections, to which builders apply additional frame pieces and armor over the pre-molded parts. The RG Gold Frame Amatsu Mina uses twice as many pieces as its High Grade counterpart, providing much greater color accuracy on the 1/144th scale. The RG Gold Frame Amatsu Mina uses the same dual molded MS Joint frame as the RG #19 MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame, providing the model with a wide range of motion and improved color separation. To recreate the mismatched right arm, which initially belonged to the Blitz Gundam, Bandai added parts molded in purplish-gray plastic to build the appendage without any MS Joint Parts or polycaps!
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
Each armament features updated designs loaded with surface detail without straying from the silhouette of the source material. These weapons feature the same excellent color separation as the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, providing some of the best-looking 1/144 scale weapons Bandai has ever made! The RG Gold Frame Amatsu Mina features the “Okitsu no Kagami” Offensive Beam Shield System, which Bandai did not include with the High Grade version. This weapon attaches to the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina’s forearm and features an extendable wire for ranged attacks. The Okitsu no Kagami also doubles as a beam shield, for which Bandai provided an additional effect part.
