PG UNLEASHED RX-93 ν Gundam & LED Unit Revealed!

“After years of waiting, ν Gundam finally joins the PGU lineup!”

Aligning with Gunpla’s 45th anniversary, the PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED series welcomes its second entry: the RX‑93 ν Gundam, a legendary Newtype mobile suit brought to life in stunning 1/60 scale.

• Drone‑style Fin Funnel psy‑commu armaments, iconic for both offense and defense.
• Integrated Psycho‑Frame, a high‑tech material initially introduced by Neo Zeon, rebuilt for enhanced response and realism.

Just like the RX-78-2 PGU, this version of ν Gundam focuses on multi-layered construction, high-density frame design, and premium mechanical expression.

Stay tuned as this Newtype weapon is reborn with top‑tier modeling craftsmanship.

Item Highlights

Feature	Description
Ultimate Unit System	Recreates the v Gundam’s inner frame structure in multiple stages (head, shoulders, chest, arms, hands, waist, legs), delivering a three-phase building experience: inner frame —> detailed layer —> full armor.
Fin Funnels & Armaments	Includes articulated funnels capable of sliding, rotating, and secure posing modes- plus accessories like beam rifles, shield, beam sabers, and hyper bazooka.
Color-Layered Metallic Frame	Features metallic sheen and multi-color frame detailing designed to mimic real mechanical depth, achieved through precise color layering.
Robust Structure	Builds a sculptural figure reminiscent of anime accuracy, with attention to internal mechanics and exterior aesthetics.

LED Unit (Sold Separately)

Bandai confirms a dedicated LED unit for ν Gundam, supporting:

• Head-mounted camera light
• Chest illumination
• Possibly backpack‑mounted lighting components

This matches the high standard set by the RX‑78‑2 PGU LED system.

Expected Size

At ~557 mm full length including funnels, the PGU ν Gundam delivers towering scale and build impact.

Story Context

In UC 0093, following Char’s plan to drop Axis, the ν Gundam, co‑developed with input from Amuro Ray and built by Anaheim Electronics, integrated psycho‑frame and full psy‑commu capability — marking it as a symbol of Newtype power on the battlefield.

Why It Matters for Build Enthusiasts

1. Three‑phase construction brings the pleasure of building an actual machine — not just snapping parts.
2. Detailed internals plus metallic highlights elevate it beyond standard Perfect Grade kits.
3. LED compatible, giving you a chance to light up your ν Gundam exactly how you want.

What I Think So Far

Having built the RX‑78‑2 PGU before, I can already tell this ν Gundam is more than just a new release — it’s a thoughtful evolution of the PGU concept.

From what we can see in the official introduction, Bandai has clearly refined the overall inner frame layout and articulation, especially around the shoulders and legs. The layered armor system and mechanical details feel denser, yet more precise. If the LED unit follows the same high standard as the RX‑78‑2, then this kit could become one of the most rewarding builds in the line.

To me, this isn’t just another big kit — it looks like a flagship designed for builders who enjoy both engineering and emotional nostalgia.

If you’re as curious about this release, stay tuned — I’ll post PO updates soon.
