The Much-Anticipated Top-Rated Gundam Receives Its Perfect Grade Model Kit Upgrade
It's about time the beloved RX-93 Nu Gundam, starring in the iconic movie Char's Counterattack, gets its due with a Perfect Grade Unleashed model kit! This new range of model kits is a step beyond the already elite Perfect Grade series, featuring mobile suits from the Gundam franchise in a larger 1/60 scale—a significant leap up from the 1/100 Master Grade kits and the 1/144 High Grade kits.
Due to the high demand, fans have been eagerly awaiting this Perfect Grade treatment for the Nu Gundam, designed by Yutaka Izubuchi, who also crafted the stunning Hi-Nu Gundam, my personal favorite design. The Hi-Nu Gundam, by the way, is an incredible piece in its own right.
This Nu Gundam is a fan-favorite design in Japan, having taken the top spot in a poll a few years back. Though aesthetically beautiful, it's meant to be unfinished, with the Hi-Nu Gundam from Beltorchika’s Children serving as its completed version within the narrative.
You might find the Hi-Nu Gundam featuring prominently in various mecha video games, like the Gundam Extreme Versus series and Super Robot Wars, and in countless other titles.
Though specifics on the release date and price are yet to be disclosed, the announcement itself is a massive win for fans who have been eagerly awaiting this addition to their collections.
Stay tuned, as more details are expected to be revealed soon. In the meantime, don't forget to follow me on X, Facebook, and YouTube, and check out mecha Damashii and the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.
