The robot-themed action figure series "ROBOT魂 ver. A.N.I.M.E.", released by TAMASHII NATIONS, the collectible toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Co., Ltd., today announced the latest product from "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury", "Gundam Aerial (Rebuild) ver. A.N.I.M.E. ~Quiet Zero~", scheduled for release in July 2024.
The XVX-016RN Gundam Aerial (Rebuild) is a mobile suit that underwent extensive modifications and enhancements to its exterior armor and weaponry by Shin Sei Development Corporation, operated by the protagonist Suletta Mercury's mother, after the heavily damaged Gundam Aerial was recovered following a fierce duel with the Grassley House. It features a more robust and refined armor design, a new beam rifle with significantly enhanced performance, and its signature 11 "GUND-Bits" which can form a shield, be used as funnels, or be mounted on various parts of the body to enhance mobility. They can even combine with the beam rifle to form a powerful beam cannon, boasting astonishing power and caliber.
This release of "ROBOT魂 Gundam Aerial (Rebuild) ver. A.N.I.M.E. ~Quiet Zero~" is based on the image of Ericht, the core of Aerial, completely controlling the mobile suit at the end of the series. The overall paint scheme has been replaced with high-contrast colors, as if bathed in a data storm, and the glowing parts of the Permet Score can be switched between non-glowing and silvery-white glow versions. The product includes numerous new parts, such as a spirit figure of Ericht, effect parts to recreate the confrontation scene with Gundam Calibarn, and a dedicated stand that can reproduce the core section of "Quiet Zero".
The rest of the features are essentially the same as the regular version, boasting excellent articulation design to recreate battle poses from the show. The weaponry includes a beam rifle, beam sabers, beam saber blades, a shield, and GUND-Bits. All 11 GUND-Bits can be displayed in their deployed state using clear support parts, and interchangeable parts are included to recreate the shield form and the high-output firing mode when combined with the beam rifle.
