BANDAI’s original super-deformed Gundam figure line, “QMSV mini,” combines street-art aesthetics with densely sculpted mechanical detail. Its latest release spotlights the fan-favorite mobile suit from the novel "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children" with the “QMSV mini Hi-v Gundam”. After generating plenty of Blind Box buzz in overseas designer-toy markets, the collection officially arrived at major Japanese toy retailers on September 26, priced at 2,420 yen per box.
Created by BANDAI NAMCO in collaboration with contemporary artists, the QMSV line has built a following with its chunky two-head-tall proportions and streetwear-inspired reinterpretations of classic mobile suit designs. As Amuro Ray’s ultimate machine in an alternate version of the story, the Hi-ν Gundam remains a perennial favorite thanks to its wing-like fin funnels, sleek armor, and signature white-and-purple color scheme. This release compresses the imposing mobile suit into a palm-sized figure standing approximately 4 inches tall while retaining its powerful silhouette. Fine details include the large rear propellant tanks, dedicated beam rifle, and Amuro’s personal emblem on the shield, striking a satisfying balance between designer-toy style and intricate mecha sculpting.
The collection features eight different finishes. Alongside the classic white-and-purple Hi-ν GUNDAM and the redesigned Alternative Ver., the assortment includes the futuristic Light of Time Ver., the dark and imposing Black Flame Ver., the tactical Sand Military Ver., and the industrial-looking Machine Metallic Ver. Two rare chase figures, Secret 1 and Secret 2, round out the lineup, including an especially eye-catching blue-and-red metallic colorway that should keep completionists hunting.
The assortment reached select overseas specialty shops ahead of its Japanese rollout, giving some quick-moving Gundam collectors an early chance to pull and share the secret variants. With the full Japanese release now underway and BANDAI’s high-resolution product gallery available, these stylish Hi-ν Gundam figures are once again drawing attention. Collectors who passed on the earlier release—or still need a missing colorway—now have another shot at adding one to their desktop display.
