The PGU (PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED) series of ultimate Gundam model sets, which is released by the Hobby Division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS and features the latest technological advancements, officially announced today that the latest product "ν Gundam" from the animated theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" is expected to be released in January 2026.
The RX-93 ν Gundam was developed by the Earth Federation Forces' new human ace pilot Amuro. The special machine designed by Ray participated in the confrontation with Char in the Second Neo Zeon Revolt in 0093. This machine returned to the original design direction of simplicity, versatility, and durability, with micro-thrusters installed in various parts of the body, while introducing the "brain wave conduction frame" technology and equipped with "wing-shaped sensor cannons" that can attack in all directions, which greatly improved the strength of the machine structure, mobility and Amuro's new human ability.
The second product of "PG UNLEASHED" "ν Gundam", which commemorates the 45th anniversary of the birth of Gundam model, is the first 1/60 scale assembly model product of this machine. It continues the "ULTIMATE UNIT SYSTEM" of the previous RX-78-2 Gundam product. The internal structure of the machine is restored as much as possible through a convincing structure, allowing players to feel the experience of "building a mobile suit" when assembling it.
The head is based on the animation line drawing, reproducing the four sharp head antennas, the double-eye monitors along the edge of the helmet, and the Vulcan muzzles on both sides of the top. The forehead, top of the head, sides, and collar are all equipped with rotating mechanisms that can unfold the outer armor to reveal the internal mechanical structure, showing the state of maintenance.
In addition to using multi-level gray-tone parts to express the differences in the shoulder armor, it also has a rich built-in rotation and sliding mechanism that allows the armor to be greatly expanded, and the square jet nozzle on the outside also has a movable mechanism.
The chest can unfold the central cockpit area through a precision mechanism, and it also has built-in multi-axis movable joints, allowing it to perform pitching, twisting, and other movements like the human body.
Both arms have a multi-axis movable design. The lower arm can bend nearly 180 degrees, and the base of the upper arm and the elbow joint have horizontal rotation mechanisms. In addition, the left arm's beam saber mount also reproduces the deployment and storage mechanism.
The palm has five fully movable fingers. In addition to being able to make flexible movements through three knuckles, it also reproduces the launch port for launching "camouflage MS balloons" from the fingertips. In addition, replacement hand parts with fixed shapes such as clenched fist, open palm, and weapon holding hand are also included.
The skirt armor and hips reproduce the internal mechanical shape that is not visible from the outside, as well as the deployment mechanism of multiple armors and hatches. It also has a buckle design, which can change the front and back shape of the waist and adjust the position of the hip joint when unlocked.
The legs are equipped with sophisticated armor sliding and movable mechanisms, and there are a large number of armor deployment mechanisms in many places from the thighs to the soles of the feet. When the knee joints are bent, they can be linked with the thigh armor to expose the internal structure, while also ensuring the completeness of the shape and the range of motion.
In terms of armament, the "wing-shaped funnel cannon" that is the symbol of the ν Gundam has been precisely modeled to reproduce rich details such as the nozzle, heat sink fins, and beam cannon launch port, and the storage and firing states after deformation can be reproduced through movable mechanisms. The connection mechanism of the six sensor cannons is like an enhanced version of RG, and can be connected to each other by three sets of C-shaped buckles that can be deployed from the side. The display stand also comes with dedicated support parts for the funnel to enhance stability during display.
The beam rifle has a magazine replacement mechanism, a handle deployment mechanism, and a front release slide mechanism.
The beam saber comes with two types of handles and beam effects: normal type and scimitar type.
The shield reproduces the four missiles and beam cannon hidden inside.
The new super rocket launcher has a mechanism for extending the barrel, rotating the grip, and loading and unloading the magazine and warhead. At the same time, an auxiliary connecting arm for the new super rocket launcher, which is original to the model, has been added. The rocket launcher can be directly hung on a backpack for use, and the angle can be flexibly adjusted through the multi-axis movable design.
In addition, the "PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED 1/60 ν Gundam" also has a light-emitting function with a built-in LED light unit, and the product information of the "dedicated LED light unit" sold separately is scheduled to be announced in June.
