From Bandai Candy, the candy toy division of Japan's Bandai Co., Ltd., comes the "Mobile Suit Gundam" candy toy line "FW GUNDAM CONVERGE," which features intricate structures and details at an average height of 55mm. To commemorate its 10th anniversary, following the highly acclaimed #SELECTION 01 and #SELECTION 02, the third release, "FW GUNDAM CONVERGE 10th Anniversary #SELECTION 03," featuring the protagonist's mobile suit Gundam Aerial from the popular new series "The Witch from Mercury," is finally officially on sale at FamilyMart convenience stores, major department stores, and toy shops across Taiwan!
The highly popular Bandai candy toy series "FW GUNDAM CONVERGE," based on "Mobile Suit Gundam," recreates the cool designs of each mobile suit in a super-deformed style. It not only uses composite materials for its mechanical structures but also pays meticulous attention to recreating fine details. Over its ten years of release, the product range has covered dozens of Gundam-related works, becoming the collectible figure series with the largest number of mobile suits ever recorded in history.
The latest release, "FW GUNDAM CONVERGE 10th Anniversary #SELECTION 03," is based on a survey conducted from December 18, 2020, to January 31, 2021, selecting mobile suits from the top 9 in the "newly sculpted" poll and the top 6 from the "past product reissue" poll. This is also the final release in this 10th-anniversary special series.
For the newly sculpted figures, the lineup first includes "Gundam Aerial," the protagonist's mobile suit from the latest Gundam series, "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury," which began airing in October 2022, along with five other highly popular mobile suits from the survey poll: "ELS Qan[T]," "Methuss," "Berga Giros," and "Berga Giros (Black Vanguard Version)"!
・ Gundam Aerial
Recreated in a super-deformed style with high-density detail, capturing the layered armor composed of geometric shapes. It comes with armaments such as a Beam Rifle and Shield. Just like in the show, the shield can be separated into 11 GUND-BIT parts, which can be attached to the Beam Rifle, both shoulders, and the rear waist for an enhanced form.
・ ELS Qan[T]
Utilizes pearl colors, gradient paintwork, and clear parts to replicate the metallic sheen emanating from the fusion of the 00 Qan[T] and the metallic lifeform ELS. An auxiliary part can be attached to the feet for standalone display.
・ Methuss
Recreates the large, sharp, and formidable design of the backpack's nose cone. The hydraulic rods on the torso are made from MABS parts and finished with a gunmetal coating. The deployed and retracted states of the arm beam guns can be recreated by swapping parts.
・ Berga Giros
The head camera is made with clear parts, and the intricate designs of the head antenna and shoulder pipes are faithfully reproduced. Its armament includes the Shot Lancer mounted on the right arm.
・ Berga Giros (Black Vanguard Version)
The sculpt is fundamentally the same as the standard version, but it uses a different black tone and metallic purple coloring to represent Zabine Chareux's custom unit specifications.
As for the reissued mobile suits, this set brings back two units: the "Zaku II (Revive Ver.)" previously included in #09, and the "Hi-ν Gundam (Revive Ver.)" from #05. These are not simple reissues; they also come with new armaments!
・ Zaku II (Revive Ver.)
Based on the previous version, this release adds the Heat Hawk from ":CORE The Trajectory of the Red Comet" and the Zaku Bazooka from "#09."
・ Hi-ν Gundam (Revive Ver.)
Based on the previous version, this release adds the "New Hyper Bazooka" armament.
