Bandai Announces Re-Release of Popular Char's Counterattack MSV Gunpla Kit

Bandai Hobby has opened pre-orders for the highly anticipated reissue of a popular Gunpla kit based on a mobile suit from the 1988 film “Char’s Counterattack”.

The returning “MG 1/100 Re-GZ Custom” provides builders with a unique opportunity to construct a specialized variant of a famous machine.

The Mobile Suit Gundam series revolutionized the anime industry by treating giant mechanical weapons as realistic military hardware rather than superhero figures.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack served as a thrilling culmination of the intense rivalry between ace pilots Amuro Ray and Char Aznable.

Set in the Universal Century timeline, the movie introduced the original Re-GZ as a more cost-effective attempt to mass-produce the powerful Zeta Gundam.

This specific model originates from the Mobile Suit Variations design series, which explores theoretical prototypes and specialized combat units that never appeared on screen.

The Master Grade kit builds upon the foundation of the standard Re-GZ release while incorporating a wide array of newly molded parts.

These fresh components accurately capture the refined shape and enhanced capabilities of the specialized custom variant.

Builders can fully recreate the iconic transformation into the aerodynamic Wave Rider mode thanks to the implementation of the Back Weapon System.

The model comes equipped with a formidable arsenal of heavy weaponry, including a beam assault rifle, a beam gun, and a massive hyper beam saber.

Engineers have updated the internal shoulder joints to provide a wider range of articulation for dynamic posing options.

This enhanced mobility ensures the mobile suit can smoothly hold its primary rifle with both hands or strike an imposing pose while swinging the hyper beam saber.
