From Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Rick Dias is a high-performance mobile suit operated by the AEUG during the Gryps Conflict. Known for breaking away from traditional Gundam design language, the Rick Dias features a rounded, armored frame, powerful thrusters, and a mono-eye sensor, establishing a distinctive visual identity among late UC mobile suits. It is most famously piloted by Quattro Bajeena.
The HGUC Rick Dias translates this iconic design into 1/144 scale with a build approach focused on stability, proportion accuracy, and clean mechanical presentation. The kit uses a reliable joint structure that supports confident, grounded poses while allowing expressive movement in the arms and legs. Armor parts are molded with smooth curvature and solid separation, preserving the machine’s characteristic rounded surfaces without heavy reliance on stickers.
What builders tend to appreciate most is how the Rick Dias’ distinctive silhouette and presence stand out among more angular mobile suits. The broad torso, powerful backpack thrusters, and compact head design create a unique profile that feels unmistakably Zeta-era. Combined with a smooth build flow and classic Universal Century aesthetics, the HGUC Rick Dias offers a satisfying High Grade experience rooted in character and design individuality.
