A Gundam Base-exclusive version of Amuro Ray’s ν Gundam is now available online through Premium Bandai US, with the special metallic edition joining Bandai’s latest limited-time Gunpla promotion.

The “RG 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED ν GUNDAM [TITANIUM FINISH]” is among more than 200 Gunpla kits and related accessories included in Gundam Winter Fest 2026, which temporarily makes a selection of normally store-exclusive Gundam Base models available online.

The ν Gundam appeared in the 1988 anime film Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack as Amuro Ray’s final Mobile Suit, developed for his confrontation with longtime rival Char Aznable during the Second Neo Zeon War.

Built by Anaheim Electronics with Amuro directly involved in its development, the RX-93 ν Gundam incorporated advanced technology that allowed its pilot to operate six remote-controlled Fin Funnels during combat.

These weapons could independently attack enemies from multiple directions or combine to generate a defensive energy barrier, giving Amuro a powerful advantage against the forces of Neo Zeon.

The ν Gundam eventually faced Char’s MSN-04 Sazabi during the final battle surrounding the asteroid Axis, bringing the rivalry between the two pilots to its conclusion.

Bandai originally released the standard “RG 1/144 ν Gundam” in August 2019, introducing a highly detailed Real Grade interpretation of Amuro’s famous Mobile Suit with extensive articulation and a fully equipped Fin Funnel system.

The Gundam Base-exclusive Titanium Finish edition followed in February 2020, replacing several of the original model’s standard plastic finishes with a combination of reflective coatings, gold plating, and metallic molding colors.

Its most prominent change is the Titanium Finish treatment applied to the ν Gundam’s white exterior armor, giving the completed model a reflective, pearl-like appearance that contrasts with its darker blue sections.

Selected components on the chest and the Gundam’s signature V-fin antenna also receive semi-matte gold plating, replacing the original yellow coloring with a more luxurious metallic finish.

Bandai has also used metallic-colored plastic for the internal frame and weapon components, creating a consistent appearance across the model’s exposed mechanical sections and equipment.

The limited edition retains the detailed armor separation and layered construction of the original Real Grade, with the contrasting finishes helping to emphasize the molded panel lines and mechanical detailing.

Beneath the specially treated exterior, the kit uses the same articulated framework introduced in the 2019 release, including movable joints within the shoulders and abdomen that allow the upper body to twist and lean during combat poses.

Its shoulder armor moves alongside the internal joints, providing additional clearance when raising the arms or positioning the Gundam’s weapons.

The waist incorporates several independently moving sections that increase the range of motion in the legs, while the knee joints use a multi-link mechanism that causes sections of the armor to slide as the legs bend.

One of the model’s main attractions is its set of six Fin Funnels, which can be mounted along the Gundam’s backpack in their familiar asymmetrical arrangement.

Each Funnel can also be detached and transformed into its deployed configuration, allowing builders to recreate the ν Gundam’s remote-controlled weapon system.

The kit’s remaining equipment includes a Beam Rifle, New Hyper Bazooka, shield with an integrated Beam Cannon and missile equipment, alongside two Beam Sabers.

Its weapons can be combined with the model’s extensive articulation to recreate scenes from Char’s Counterattack, including Amuro’s close-range battles against Neo Zeon’s Mobile Suits.

Two more machines associated with Amuro and Char’s long-running rivalry are also included in Gundam Winter Fest 2026.

The “PG UNLEASHED 1/60 RX-78-2 Gundam” recreates Amuro’s original Mobile Suit with an elaborate internal frame, opening armor panels, and integrated lighting, while the “RG 1/144 The Gundam Base Limited Zeong [Special Coating]” offers a metallic version of Char’s machine from their final battle in the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

Gundam Winter Fest 2026 runs from November 6 at 5:00 PM PST until November 30 at 11:59 PM PST, with Premium Bandai US offering a large selection of returning Gunpla kits, Gundam Base exclusives, and building accessories throughout the promotional period.

The “RG 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED ν GUNDAM [TITANIUM FINISH]” is currently in stock through Premium Bandai US for $117, although quantities may be limited and the kit could sell out before the event concludes.

The kit also qualifies for Premium Bandai US’s standard free-shipping offer on eligible orders over $99, which is available independently of Gundam Winter Fest.
