The Hi-ν Gundam design famously originates from Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika’s Children, a 1988 novel penned by series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino.

This alternate retelling of the Char’s Counterattack storyline introduced readers to uniquely bulked-up mobile suit designs that have since become incredibly sought after by mecha enthusiasts.

Bandai’s high-end METAL BUILD line is renowned for re-creating these legendary machines with striking internal metal frames and sharp aesthetics.

The “METAL BUILD Hyper Mega Bazooka Launcher [METAL BUILD EXPO]” brings back a highly praised super large weapon with refined coloring to perfectly match the recent METAL BUILD EXPO exclusive Hi-ν Gundam.

The energy cable, which is described as a tube in the original novel, has also been appropriately thickened to give it a much stronger visual presence when connected to the mobile suit.
