MG 1/100 RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam ver. KA, Bandai

 MG 1/100 RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam ver. KA from Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children is now available as Master Grade model kit Bandai.

RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam

RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam (pronounced "High-New") is an alternate interpretation of the RX-93 ν Gundam which appears in Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children. It is piloted by Amuro Ray. Originally developed in the Anaheim Electronics facility near Von Braun, the Hi-Nu Gundam's basic design was an update of past Gundam Type mobile suits, returning to the basics of Federation-made mobile suits and going against the trend of larger and more complex mobile suit designs at the time. 

Its most notable feature was a set of six all-range weapons mounted on its back, known as "Fin Funnels", which were capable of both attack and defense. This made it the first full spec Newtype-use Gundam type mobile suit.

Appearing only in the novel Mobile Suit Gundam: Beltorchika's Children, the design is vastly different than the iconi v Gundam featured in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. The Hi-ν Gundam has become iconic in its own right, being further refined with the 2007 MG redesign, and has appeared in video games in this form.

The fan-favorite Hi-ν Gundam has been re-invented by Suit designer extraordinaire Hajime Katoki with completely new proportions, the previously bulky suit has been streamlined and lengthened, giving this redesign an elegant, yet powerful feel. 

Much like the Nu Gundam, it is equipped with gimmicks throughout the body. Can be equipped with the Bandai LED (LED unit sold separately). Beam saber and gatling gun mounted in forearms. All thrusters and funnels are controllable

Taking advantage of the expertise gained during the creation of the Nu Gundam Ver.Ka, Katoki has redesigned the fin funnel system completely, redesigned the armor and weapons a complete overhaul of the kit, giving the quality and attention to detail that fans have come to expect from a modern MG.

Armed to the teeth. New manipulators securely hold weapons with an advanced tab-lock system. A Newtype-only Mobile Suit, the RX-93-ν2 Hi-v Gundam was designed for use with the elite Londo Bell Corps. Developed by Anaheim Electronics, the Hi-v was designed and piloted by ace pilot Amuro Ray.
