Top 5 Essential Endless Waltz Gunpla Kits Every Builder Needs in Their Collection

Endless Waltz has a different kind of atmosphere from the main Gundam Wing TV series, as the battles feel more dramatic and the series’ iconic mobile suits are transformed through new redesigns.

The anime OVA and film sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam Wing follows the heroic Gundam pilots as a surprise rebel insurrection disrupts Earth’s fragile new era of peace, forcing them to retrieve their mobile suits for one final battle.

The new designs featured in Endless Waltz are a huge part of why the Gunpla lineup remains so appealing, because these kits represent upgraded versions of familiar suits and feel like final statements for Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Zechs, and the whole After Colony era.

This ranking keeps the focus simple, choosing the Endless Waltz Gunpla kits that bring the most to a collection through presence, weapons, gimmicks, character connection, and also how satisfying they are as finished builds.

5. MG 1/100 Altron Gundam EW

MG Altron Gundam EW earns a place because Wufei’s final mobile suit has one of the strongest silhouettes among the Endless Waltz Gundams.

The twin Dragon Fangs immediately separate it from Shenlong Gundam and make the suit feel more aggressive, more complete, and much more suited to Wufei’s role during the final conflict.

The Master Grade kit gives those Dragon Fangs the attention they need, with extension parts, opening claw movement, and support stands that help the arms look threatening without relying only on a basic standing pose.

The Twin Beam Trident adds even more personality, giving Altron a close-range weapon that feels elegant but still brutal enough for the suit’s whole martial identity.

What helps Altron stand out is the balance between restraint and drama, as while it does not have the giant wing silhouettes of Wing Zero or Deathscythe Hell, the dragon arms give it a very specific display presence that no other Endless Waltz kit can copy.

That makes it especially valuable in a collection of the five Gundams, because it breaks up the lineup with a completely different kind of shape and fighting style.

The kit is not as universally easy to recommend as some of the others in this list, partly because its appeal depends on how much you like Wufei’s machine in the first place.

Even so, Altron Gundam EW deserves respect because the Master Grade gives Nataku the dramatic reach and sharp weapon identity it needs.

4. MG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW

MG Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW belongs here because no Endless Waltz kit sells the idea of overwhelming firepower quite like Trowa’s final machine.

Heavyarms was already built around the joy of hidden weapons, but the Custom EW version pushes that idea harder with the darker color scheme, double Gatling guns, expanded chest weaponry, missiles, and the famous clown mask accessory.

The Master Grade release understands why people love this suit, because the whole build leads toward that full-hatch-open display where Heavyarms looks less like a mobile suit and more like a walking arsenal.

That kind of visual payoff is important for an Endless Waltz collection, because each pilot’s machine needs to feel instantly readable even when placed beside the others.

Heavyarms Custom also has the simple satisfaction of being able to show off far too many weapons at once when on display.

The double Gatling guns also give the kit a stronger centrepiece feel than the standard Heavyarms EW, especially because they can be held or mounted in a way that makes the finished model look heavily armed from almost every angle.

It is not the most flexible kit in the ranking, and builders who care mainly about expressive melee posing may prefer Deathscythe Hell or Altron.

Heavyarms Custom instead works because it gives a collection a very different kind of energy, turning Trowa’s calm personality into a mobile suit that looks ready to empty every weapon system at the same time.

3. RG 1/144 Tallgeese III

RG Tallgeese III ranks this high because Zechs Merquise’s Endless Waltz machine feels like a perfect bridge between heroic restraint and rival-suit intimidation.

It is not as ornate as Wing Zero, nor as monstrous as Epyon, and not as heavily armed as Heavyarms Custom, but Tallgeese III has a clean authority that makes it look dangerous without trying too hard.

The Real Grade kit takes that appeal and adds the small-scale mechanical detail the line is known for, giving the suit a more premium finish than many older 1/144 Endless Waltz releases.

Its biggest advantage is the weapon set, as the Mega Cannon gives Tallgeese III the dramatic long-range firepower it needs, while the Heat Rod, shield, and beam saber keep it from feeling like a one-weapon display piece.

That combination makes the kit more exciting than a simple Tallgeese recolor, because Tallgeese III feels like a machine with its own final-mission identity rather than just the next entry in a familiar line.

Zechs also gives the kit a lot of story weight, since Preventer Wind’s presence in Endless Waltz carries all the history of his rivalry with Heero without needing to repeat the same conflict from the TV series.

The RG format helps the suit fit neatly into a collection without taking up the space of a Master Grade, which makes it especially useful if you want an Endless Waltz display with a mix of hero machines and rival machines.

It may not have the emotional pull or the instant appeal of some of the redesigned Gundams, but RG Tallgeese III is arguably the sharpest non-Gundam kit connected to Endless Waltz.

2. MG 1/100 Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW

MG Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW takes the second spot because it remains one of the most visually memorable Endless Waltz kits Bandai has produced.

Duo Maxwell’s mobile suit has always been built around the grim reaper imagery, but the Endless Waltz version goes even further by wrapping the Gundam in an Active Cloak that makes the whole machine feel theatrical, gothic, and unmistakably tied to Duo’s personality.

The Master Grade kit succeeds as the cloak is not just background decoration, it changes how the model reads in a collection, letting Deathscythe Hell shift between a closed, ominous display and a more open pose where the wings create a much larger and more dramatic bat-like outline.

The beam scythe completes the image, giving the kit one of the most recognizable weapons in the entire Gundam Wing lineup.

That combination of cloak, scythe, dark armor, and sharp head shape makes Deathscythe Hell EW feel instantly different from the other Endless Waltz Gundams.

It is also one of the kits where the older Master Grade base still works because the finished model has so much personality.

A newer version could improve the engineering, but the current kit still gives collectors the core Deathscythe Hell experience in a way that feels satisfying on display.

The only reason it does not take the number one spot is that Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka is a more complete modern package from a build and presentation standpoint.

Even with that comparison, Deathscythe Hell EW remains one of the most essential Endless Waltz Gunpla kits because it captures the mood of the OVA better than almost anything else in the line.

1. MG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka

MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka takes the number one spot because it feels like the definitive Gunpla version of the most iconic Endless Waltz mobile suit.

Wing Zero EW was already one of the most recognizable Gundam designs in the world, but the Ver.Ka release gives it the modern Master Grade treatment that the suit needed for years.

The kit has the white wings, Twin Buster Rifle, beam sabers, shield, display base, water-slide markings, rifle storage in the wings, and Neo Bird transformation, giving builders far more to work with than a simple angel-wing display.

That extra engineering is what makes the Ver.Ka feel so important because it does not only look like a cleaner version of an older kit, but it rethinks how Wing Zero EW should move, pose, transform, and hold its most famous weapon.

The Twin Buster Rifle shooting pose is one of the key reasons this kit works so well, since the entire mobile suit feels built around recreating that final-mission image without the model looking strained or awkward.

The wing movement is just as important, because the suit can look calm, protective, airborne, or ready to fire depending on how the feathers and binders are arranged, which gives the kit more range than most Endless Waltz releases, especially when compared with older MGs that rely more heavily on a single signature pose.

It also has the advantage of being both a strong model kit and the emotional centre of Endless Waltz as Heero’s final Gundam is not simply another upgrade, because it represents the end of his role as a weapon and the moment the series finally lets him move toward something beyond fighting.

That makes the finished model feel more meaningful in a collection, especially if it is displayed with the other four Gundams or Tallgeese III.

For builders who want the strongest overall Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Gunpla kit, MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka is the clear number one.

An honorable mention should go to MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW, because it brings transformation, strong articulation, and a huge amount of charm into a stylized format that feels much more serious than a normal SD kit.

MG Gundam Sandrock Custom EW also deserves credit as the most grounded of the five main Gundams, especially for collectors who appreciate its cloak, heat shotels, shield, and calmer presence beside the louder machines.

In our view, MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka, MG Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW, RG Tallgeese III, MG Gundam Heavyarms Custom EW, and MG Altron Gundam EW represent the strongest 5 overall Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Gunpla kits.

Together, they give the collection a centrepiece in the form of Wing Zero and a wide range of display possibilities from the different but complementary mobile suits, which is exactly why the Endless Waltz lineup still feels so special for Gundam Wing fans.

Many of these kits regularly receive re-releases via Premium Bandai, including their Premium Bandai US storefront, so builders looking to get hold of them can always check current availability to start adding them to their collection.
