Hobby Japan Celebrates Gunpla’s 45th Anniversary with a Definitive PG Unleashed nu Gundam Feature

This month’s Hobby Japan is gearing up for a major release. The April 2026 issue arrives on February 25, and it delivers the ultimate celebration of the Gunpla 45th Anniversary with a massive feature on the PG UNLEASHED RX‑93 nu Gundam. After months of anticipation and serialized development coverage, the pinnacle of the PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED line finally takes center stage.

The feature dives deep into what makes this kit the culmination of forty‑five years of Gunpla evolution. Ace modeler Naoki Kimura presents a full build that pushes the concept of “UNLEASHED” even further, showcasing techniques and refinements that elevate the nu Gundam beyond its already extraordinary foundation. The article revisits the engineering philosophy behind the line, explores the layered construction, and highlights the craftsmanship that defines the PG UNLEASHED series.

This issue also includes a brand‑new 2026 build example that combines the latest expansion parts with the recently released ENTRY GRADE nu Gundam and RG Hi‑nu Gundam, featuring a fresh look at how modern kits can enhance and reinterpret the iconic mobile suit. It’s a comprehensive, richly detailed feature designed to honor the nu Gundam’s legacy while celebrating the future of Gunpla.

As a bonus, the issue comes with All That RX‑93 nu Gundam, a B5‑size, 92‑page full‑color supplement packed with reference material and visual detail. For fans of the nu Gundam, Gunpla history, or high‑end model engineering, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of the year.
