Originally appearing in the "Beltorchika's Children" novel, the Hi-Nu Gundam finally makes its plastic kit debut in Bandai's popular Master Grade series. Considered one of the most powerful mobile suits in the Universal Century timeline, Hi-Nu Gundam is a completed version of the prototype Nu Gundam that appeared in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack," and comes armed with a beam rifle, beam sabers, shield, and an enhanced Nu hyper bazooka for some truly devastating offensive attacks. It also features a revised fin funnel system that extend from the back like a pair of angelic wings; each fin funnel is detachable and can be displayed with the included effect parts as though it's flying towards its target and ready to fire! As usual with Master Grade kits, its inner body frame comes impressively detailed with working pistons and is highly articulated for lots of posing possibilities. A special display stand is included along with six bendable clear plastic rods to attach each fin funnel to the base. This is one superb kit of one of the best mobile suit designs that never appeared onscreen! Now if only we could convince Bandai to make a MG kit of Char's Nightingale next...
