Japan's Fukuoka Mobile Suit Gundam themed facility, 'GUNDAM SIDE-F', which features the highly popular life-sized ν Gundam statue, announced the latest exclusive product from "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack", the "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 ν Gundam (Axis Shock Color)", scheduled to go on sale in July 2025.
In Universal Century 0093, the "Second Neo Zeon War" was initiated by Char Aznable with the Earth Freezing Operation, aiming to crash the asteroid base Axis into Earth. Although it seemed to conclude with Earth Federation Forces ace pilot Amuro Ray shooting down Char's Sazabi, the massive front section of Axis, split in two by nuclear missiles, continued to fall towards Earth. At this critical moment, Amuro, piloting the ν Gundam, along with numerous Mobile Suits from various factions, began pushing Axis in the opposite direction. The ν Gundam's Psycho-Frame received the consciousness of all humanity in the Earth Sphere, converting it into thrust, creating a miracle known as the "Axis Shock" that pushed Axis away from Earth.
The "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 ν Gundam (Axis Shock Color)" is a modified version based on the previously released standard edition. Its armor parts have been replaced with various metallic molded colors, representing the mobile suit bathed in the miraculous light during its efforts to stop Axis. It also includes stickers to recreate Amuro's personal emblem on the left shoulder and shield.
Aside from the colors, the specifications are identical to the standard edition without Fin Funnels. The parts feature a convenient gate design that requires no tools like nippers; parts can be easily detached by gently pressing them by hand. The assembly design also extensively uses snap-fit structures, which, compared to the male-female peg-and-hole joints typically used in Gunpla, reduces seam lines and the risk of difficulty in separating parts if assembled incorrectly, making it easy for model kit beginners to enjoy.
