Gundam fans have until tomorrow, Sunday, June 28, 2026, to pre-order the ROBOT魂 <SIDE MS> Nightingale ～Exclusive Edition～ through Bandai’s official online store, Premium Bandai. The figure is priced at ¥35,200 (tax included), with shipment scheduled for October 2026.
Background: Nightingale and Beltorchika’s Children
Mobile Suit Gundam first aired in 1979, establishing the “real robot” genre with its grounded depiction of mobile suits as military weapons, detailed scientific world-building, and complex human drama. The franchise has maintained strong popularity both in Japan and internationally for over 40 years.
The 1988 theatrical film Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack is set in Universal Century 0093 — 14 years after the original TV series — and brings the long-running rivalry between Amuro Ray and Char Aznable to its conclusion.
The novel Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack — Beltorchika’s Children, written based on director Yoshiyuki Tomino‘s early screenplay drafts, shares the film’s broad story but differs in key details — most notably, Amuro’s partner is Beltorchika Irma rather than the film’s version. The Nightingale, the massive mobile suit featured in this figure, originates from this novel.
Figure Highlights
Despite the Nightingale’s imposing bulk, the figure employs a robust yet flexible joint structure across its arms, legs, torso, and binders, enabling a wide variety of dynamic poses.
The iconic crimson armor is rendered in a two-tone matte finish — dark and light shades — to maximize visual realism, complemented by line-print detailing throughout that reinforces the mobile suit’s identity as a weapon of war.
Standout gimmicks include a hidden arm that extends from beneath the skirt armor and detachable funnels mounted on the binder surfaces.
