Orders open for P-Bandai exclusive “FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE Red Gundam Set”
Bandai has announced the upcoming release of the “FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE Red Gundam Set,” an exclusive candy toy figure featuring the Red Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
The “FW GUNDAM CONVERGE” series is a popular line of “candy toys” known for their super deformed (SD) proportions.
The “FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE” sub-line represents a premium tier within this series, focusing on enhanced detailing, unique color schemes, and more accessories than normal.
This particular set features the Red Gundam mobile suit, which makes its appearance in the anime series “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX”.
This marks the second appearance of a Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX series entering the GUNDAM CONVERGE series of figures, as the Gundam GQuuuuuuX (Sieg Axe) debuted in the FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #27 set.
The “Red Gundam” is particularly interesting to fans due to its association with the legendary pilot Char Aznable and the mystery surrounding his disappearance while piloting it.
A number of prize figures and model kits have already been announced based on the Red Gundam.
The “FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE Red Gundam Set” is designed to replicate the armament and characteristics of the Red Gundam as piloted by Char Aznable.
A notable feature of this set is the inclusion of four “bits”, which are remote-controlled weaponry used by the Gundam.
Each bit comes with its own stand, allowing for a dynamic display that simulates their floating, in-action state.
The set includes two shields, one with an intact Zeon emblem while the other features a damaged emblem.
The figure itself stands at approximately 55mm in height and 45mm in width, a standard size for the CONVERGE series, ensuring it fits seamlessly with existing collections.
It will be exclusively released through Premium Bandai and will no doubt be a must-have for Gundam figure collectors and fans of Char Aznable as well as those interested in the ongoing Gundam GQuuuuuuX storyline.
Pre-orders for this set, priced at 4,345 yen (approx. $30.39 USD / £22.47 GBP), are currently open through P-Bandai, with stock expected to begin shipping to customers in November 2025.
