【Gundam Models】 “Eternal Pink” specification imagining Lacus Clyne's Haro! Cute and small, yet a popular series packed with gimmicks! Popularity of HaroPla Haro Eternal Pink is soaring!

Hearing Gundam, many people might recall giant Mobile Suits and battle scenes full of power. But, there is an existence that must not be forgotten, right? Yes, it is the small robot “Haro” whose round body is adorable! “HaroPla Haro Eternal Pink” introduced this time is a plastic model themed on the Haro-type Diver appearing in “Gundam Build Divers.” The greatest feature, above all, is the pink body that gives a vivid and gentle impression. It features coloring imagining Lacus Clyne's Haro appearing in “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED,” being a finish that Gundam fans would spontaneously react to, wouldn't it? The design where cuteness can be firmly felt while leaving a mechanical atmosphere lets you enjoy a charm different from Mobile Suits again.

In this color called Eternal Pink, there is a reason that people who know the Gundam series are attracted to it the more they know. That is a special hue reminiscent of Lacus Clyne, a popular character in “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.” Speaking of Lacus, she is an impressive person holding both a gentle atmosphere and inner strength. And the pink Haro beside her has also been familiarized as an existence coloring the work. Being able to enjoy such an impressive combination with a plastic model is a delightful point for fans, isn't it? The gorgeous color different from usual yellow-green Haro seems likely to brighten even the atmosphere of the place where it is displayed. If arranging it together with Lacus-related goods, it also becomes a display where the worldview of the work can be felt.

By the way, do you know how historic a character Haro is? Actually, it is a small robot representing the series, appearing since the era of the first “Mobile Suit Gundam.” The one who handled the design was mechanical designer Kunio Okawara, same as the Gundam main unit. While having a simple appearance tinged with roundness, it holds an individuality hard to forget once seen. For early Haro, yellow-green was the basis, but since the “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” series, individuals of diverse colors came to appear. That there are differences in sizes, limb structures, mouth opening/closing mechanisms, etc., depending on works is also an interesting point. While being familiarized across long years, it is an existence showing new expressions every time it appears.

Haro looks cute, but knowing the settings in detail, one is surprised that it is quite a multifunctional robot. In places with gravity, it moves by rolling or bouncing, and in zero-gravity environments like space, it can also move upper left and right covers like wings. Furthermore, it is equipped even with a function to exchange simple conversations with humans. The unique way of speaking, repeatedly calling people's names or replying with short words, is also impressive, isn't it? In Haro appearing in the first work, there were also hose-shaped arms housed inside covers, and structures like legs extending to support the main unit. Gazing at HaroPla after knowing such detailed settings, you might be able to taste design ingenuity put into the round form more deeply.

Charms of “HaroPla Haro Eternal Pink” do not stop at displaying as a standalone. Surprisingly, connecting with other HaroPla is also possible! This would be an unmissable specification for people collecting multiple Haro. If combining with standard colors or arranging Haro of different colors, you can make your very own colorful collection. Displaying with pink as an accent seems interesting too. Also, because 1 display base is prepared as an accessory, you can enjoy exhibiting it in your favorite place after completion. Speaking of Gunpla, although images of assembling cool Mobile Suits are strong, adopting such mascot-type items gives birth to changes in atmospheres of collections as well.

“HaroPla Haro Eternal Pink” is an attractive plastic model fusing friendly designs unique to Haro and colorings imagining Lacus Clyne. Not to mention people wanting to enjoy the worldview of “Gundam Build Divers,” it is an item we want people who like “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” to pay attention to as well. Furthermore, since it can connect with other HaroPla, that fun of collecting expands is a delightful point too. Displaying neatly next to powerful Mobile Suits is fine, and creating a dedicated space gathering only Haro is good. Why not add a slightly different cuteness to your usual Gunpla collection?
