Release Date: July 29, 2023

Price: 6,050 Yen

It has been announced that the Narrative Gundam A-Packs will be available in Gundam Base Japan stores nationwide starting July 29th for a limited time. The kit's armor pieces are presented in clear colored plastic to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the titular Gundam film, Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative.

Narrative Gundam is the a mobile suit appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative film, also loosely based on the novel Mobile Suit Gundam UC: Phoenix Hunting. It is piloted by Jona Basta.

It is a mobile suit manufactured by Anaheim Electronics and developed as a prototype for the RX-93 nu Gundam. As it was primarily intended as a data acquisition test bed, there are many areas that have not been armored, leaving the frame structure exposed.

A-Packs provide the Narrative Gundam with a highly mobile set of optional armaments. Mainly attached to the Narrative Gundam's legs, this expansion pack is equipped with various boosters and acceleration units to match the speed of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex.

Just like in the movie, the A-Packs can also extend its claws or "psycho-capture" forward. It was designed to capture the Phenex. This armament is also similar to that of the Rozen Zulu Psycho Jammer, which was used to incapacitate the Unicorn Gundam and form an octahedral psycho-field.
