The mobile suit “Gundam EX” from the new anime “Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem of Revenge” has been released as a figure under Bandai’s “Chogokin” brand. “Chogokin Gundam EX” is now available for preorder on the online shopping site “Premium Bandai”.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem of Revenge is a new original anime series for global distribution, consisting of 6 episodes of 30 minutes each, focusing on the European front during the One Year War, the setting of the first Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam. 11 months after the outbreak of war, one of the bases under Zeon occupation in Eastern Europe is seized by the Federal Army, and the story follows the exploits of Solari and the Red Wolf Squad, a mobile suit platoon that has just come down from space and joins a mixed battalion heading to recapture it.
Bandai’s brand “Chogokin” is a toy series made of die-cast metal. In addition to recreating the appearance of the characters using composite materials including die-cast metal, the brand has been around since 1974 and is equipped with gimmicks for each character, such as firing, combining, and transforming.
The latest addition from Chogokin is the cutting-edge mobile suit “Gundam EX” from the new anime “Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem of Revenge,” which is currently being exclusively distributed worldwide on Netflix. Gundam is often depicted as the machine piloted by the main character, but this mobile suit was designed to stand in the way of the main character as an “enemy.” It has already gained a reputation among viewers for its strength and fearsomeness.
“Chogokin Gundam EX” is a die-cast figure that reproduces the precise details and characteristic proportions of the large-scale model, standing at approximately 185mm in height. Die-cast parts with the heavy feel that is characteristic of Chogokin are used for the joints and armor.
The head “twin eyes” and “main camera” have LED lighting gimmicks built in, allowing you to recreate the memorable glowing scenes from the movie. You’ll be able to feel the same fear you felt watching the anime with this figure.
The gatling gun on the right shoulder can move on multiple axes and has a sliding gimmick, allowing for flexible movement. The ammunition belt is made of soft parts and comes with three different shapes that correspond to the position of the gatling gun.
The saber rack on the left shoulder can also be used to recreate the unsheathing scene.
In addition, various weapon parts such as a beam rifle and rocket launcher are included, allowing for a variety of action poses. The beam saber, which was an impressive feature in the movie, is painted with a gradient paint.
A beam rifle or rocket launcher can be attached to the back of the figure, and a large shield can also be connected, making this an action figure that can be posed in any number of detailed ways.
The price of “Chogokin Gundam EX” is 33,000 yen (tax included), and shipping is scheduled for June 2025. Pre-orders are currently being accepted on the online shopping site “Premium Bandai.”
