■Plot

C.E.72 was a unique era which would later be called the "two blank years."
Some also call it "the time of peace on thin ice", and others call it "the break before the oncoming frenzy."
This is the story of an interval.
A story that takes place between two large wars in which members of a hollow unit known as ODR risked their lives.

■Products

The GUNPLA of the main MS from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Eclipse will already be available from the Master Grade (MG) Series.
It reproduces this unit’s characteristic, changing from a flight form to a Mobile Suit form, while sticking to the latest MG SEED design. It is also faithful to the story’s equipment changes as it is possible to equip several weapon packs on it.
Other than weapons such as the Beam Saber and the Beam Rifle, it is possible to equip a shield on its arms and reproduce the Beam Shield action thanks to the included effect parts.
