Release Date: June 2024
Price: 2,420 Yen


INITIAL RELEASE
Release Date: March 2019
Price: 2,376 Yen


Premium Bandai has announced the release of a new addition to its High Grade Universal Century (HGUC) model kit lineup: the 1/144 scale ReGelgu in its iconic Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn colors, complete with Sleeves faction parts and equipment. This release marks a significant addition for Gundam model enthusiasts and fans of the Gundam Unicorn series, offering a unique take on the ReGelgu.


The ReGelgu, which is renowned for its menacing appearance in combat, is now available to GunPla builders in a special "Sleeves" specification, which alludes to the unique decorative style connected to the Sleeves faction in "Mobile Suit Gundam UC". In addition to being a color variation, this ReGelgu model features new modeling that faithfully captures the distinctive "sleeve" characteristics found on the forearms of the mobile suit. The color palette is another area where attention to detail is evident; the kit's molded components faithfully replicate the mobile suit's OVA-accurate color scheme.

The forces of the Principality of Zeon, which had withdrawn to the Axis, were not ready to give up on the revolution that the Zabi family had launched. Instead, they started making plans to resume the fight. Axis researchers exploited their limited resources and current mobile suit force to build more advanced versions of their existing technology, knowing that the Earth Federation would continue to develop mobile suit technology.

Accessories
Forearm "Sleeves": The new model kit features exquisitely detailed "sleeves" on the forearm sections, a hallmark of the Sleeves faction's mobile suits. Modelers will appreciate the inclusion of foil stickers designed to replicate the intricate coloring seen in the Gundam Unicorn series.

Body Color: The ReGelgu's striking main body color, a mix of purple and dark blue, is faithfully reproduced using colored molding, ensuring a visually striking appearance straight out of the box.

Arsenal of Weapons: True to its depiction in Gundam Unicorn, the Sleeves specification ReGelgu kit includes a range of newly modeled weapons. These include a beam machine gun designed for the Geara Doga, a beam naginata for close combat, and a dedicated beam rifle. Additionally, a new left gun holder is included, allowing modelers to recreate the mobile suit's armed appearance as seen in the series.

MS-14J ReGelgu 

At the close of the One Year War, the MS-14A Gelgoog was one of Zeon's most advanced mobile suits. The Gelgoogs were modified into the MS-14J ReGelgu, a more powerful and quicker mobile suit that served as part of Axis' core mobile suit army for years until the AMX-003 Gaza-C became available for mass manufacture. Many units were also employed as training tools for young Zeon pilots.

Axis Zeon fielded several sophisticated mobile suits during the First Neo Zeon War, but due to their inferior resources to those of the Earth Federation, they were forced to field any mobile suit that was available, including antiquated devices like the ReGelgu. Neo Zeon Ace Illia Pazom flew one such unit. Several ReGelgus survived in U.C. 0096 and were utilized by the Sleeves, the Neo Zeon remnants, during the Laplace Incident. The ReGelgus from the Sleeves would receive a fresh color scheme and the characteristic marks seen on several of the Sleeves' mobile suits. Conroy Haagensen, the ECOAS field commander, used a Mega Bazooka Launcher to destroy one such unit.

  2. Well, at least they included a new left trigger-finger hand, although you know the new rifle's going to be all-grey.
