Gundam Pixy is the protagonist machine of CROSS DIMENSION 0079, while the Efreet and Efreet Custom carry the rival role in THE BLUE DESTINY. Gundam Pixy uses newly sculpted exterior armor across the head, chest, shoulders, and arms, and ships with two 90mm sub-machine guns and two beam daggers plus slashing effect parts. The sub-machine gun\u0026#39;s magazine can be swapped for a beam dagger hilt to form a bayonet state, and the kit is meant to be paired with the separately sold Efreet to recreate the game\u0026#39;s duel.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHGUC 1/144 Gundam Pixy [Re-release]\u003c/strong\u003e: 2,530 yen including tax; ships February 2027\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHGUC 1/144 Efreet [Re-release]\u003c/strong\u003e: Rival MS from CROSS DIMENSION 0079\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHGUC 1/144 Efreet Custom [Re-release]\u003c/strong\u003e: Rival MS from Side Story THE BLUE DESTINY\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai Spirits priced Gundam Pixy at 2,530 yen, less than most modern HGUC kits from current TV series.
