One of Gundam's most iconic mobile suits is getting Bandai's top-tier model kit treatment. Confirmed via Bandai's official reveal and reported by CBR, the PG UNLEASHED 1/60 Nu Gundam features genuine LED integration through its Psycho-Frame, positioning it as a headliner release for 2026.
This is a confirmed reveal with locked feature details, so here's what's included.
Bandai's official reveal, as reported by CBR, confirms the following:
Building a dedicated control unit into the display base itself, rather than requiring separate battery packs or add-on lighting kits, gives this kit a cleaner, more integrated lighting presentation than most gunpla builds achieve, even at the Perfect Grade tier.
Offering both an Auto Mode and a Manual Mode for the Psycho-Frame's LED lighting gives builders control over whether the effect responds automatically to the build's pose or is triggered deliberately, adding a layer of interactivity beyond a simple always-on light.
As a Perfect Grade kit with an integrated electronic lighting system, this release commands both a higher price point and more building time than a standard High Grade kit, so it's worth budgeting accordingly.
For the finished, built model, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case, available up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches, offers dust-free display, though it's worth confirming the completed kit's footprint against the case dimensions first.
For a raised, dramatic display that shows off the LED effect, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.
Perfect Grade 1/60 scale.
LED integration through the Psycho-Frame, controlled via a base-integrated unit.
Auto Mode and Manual Mode.
Char's Counterattack, from the original Mobile Suit Gundam movie series.
The PG UNLEASHED Nu Gundam gives serious gunpla builders a genuinely upgraded lighting experience at Bandai's top model kit tier, anchored by an integrated base control unit. It's worth budgeting real time and display space for a build this detailed.
Having a case and stand ready means the finished Nu Gundam will show off its LED effect properly once complete.
