Bandai's big Gunpla release of 2012 is old fan favorite Nu Gundam as drawn by famous Gundam artist Hajime Katoki. The original Master Grade Nu Gundam released way back in 2001 and a lot has changed in Gunpla engineering and the new Nu Gundam Ver Ka is an excellent example of just how far Bandai have come. Key features of the Nu include an all non-ABS plastic frame making it lighter, hidden green psycho frame that is exposed when certain sections of the armor seperate, the ability to take Bandai's LED to light up the head, water-slide decals for markings, and the option to build it as a twin Fin Funnel set up!
Bandai offers us very high quality models, without paint or glue.
These models are very easy to assemble and have many points of articulation.
Master Grade kits are a favorite in the community for their size, detail and functionality. These models are bigger than HG and RG kits, usually standing about 18 to 23 centimeters tall, and most feature an internal skeleton as well as a mini-figure of the pilot. Because of the larger size, designers are able to include more functioning parts such as sliding/opening cockpits and full finger movements. Master Grades are usually 1/100 scale.
