P-Bandai: MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Expansion Set

Few Master Grade expansion kits add as much value as the P-Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Expansion Set.

Packed with newly molded armor, weapons, display pieces, and exclusive extras, this expansion gives builders the freedom to recreate Barbatos throughout its journey in the anime while adding more display options to an already outstanding Master Grade.

Multiple Barbatos Forms in One Expansion

Designed specifically for the MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos, this expansion set lets builders recreate several of Barbatos’ memorable appearances from the anime, including the 1st through 6th Forms.

Instead of purchasing multiple versions of the same mobile suit, builders can swap armor and equipment to display different stages of Barbatos’ evolution. This flexibility makes the kit especially attractive for collectors who enjoy customizing their Gunpla display.

What’s Included?

The expansion offers far more than a few extra weapons. Inside the box you’ll find:

New armor parts for multiple Barbatos Forms
Wrench Mace
Wire Claw
Arm Mortar
Arm Machine Gun
Chest Reactive Armor
Waist Boosters
Additional shoulder and arm components
1/100 Scale Tekkadan Mobile Worker
1/100 Scale Orga Itsuka figure
Water-slide decal sheet for enhanced detailing

These accessories allow builders to accurately reproduce several anime scenes while significantly increasing posing possibilities.

Why Builders Love This Expansion

One reason this expansion remains highly sought after is its impressive value. Rather than functioning as a simple weapon pack, it dramatically expands what the original MG Barbatos can become.

Highlights include:

Recreate multiple anime-accurate Barbatos Forms
Premium Bandai exclusive item
Excellent detail that matches the original MG kit
Includes exclusive display pieces and character figures
Great for custom displays and photography

The included Mobile Worker and Orga figure also add extra storytelling opportunities that standard Gunpla kits rarely provide.

Building Experience

Since this is an expansion set, the assembly process is straightforward for anyone who has already built the MG Gundam Barbatos.

Most parts replace existing armor sections or attach as optional equipment, making it enjoyable to experiment with different configurations without rebuilding the entire model.

Water-slide decals further enhance realism and give experienced builders another opportunity to personalize their display.

Display Possibilities

Whether you prefer clean museum-style displays or dynamic action poses, this expansion dramatically increases your options.

Popular display ideas include:

Barbatos 1st Form emerging from the Martian ruins
Battle-ready 4th Form
Fully equipped 6th Form
Group display with the Mobile Worker
Anime-inspired scenes featuring Orga Itsuka

Every configuration gives the MG Barbatos a fresh appearance without requiring another full kit.

Final Thoughts

P-Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos Expansion Set is one of the most rewarding add-on kits released for the Iron-Blooded Orphans Master Grade lineup. With multiple armor configurations, iconic weapons, exclusive figures, and premium water-slide decals, it greatly expands the display potential of an already exceptional Gunpla.

Collectors of the IBO series, Barbatos enthusiasts, and Master Grade builders looking to maximize their collection will find this expansion well worth adding before the limited reissue becomes difficult to obtain again.
