This kit is the Fin Funnel Effect for Hi-Nu Gundam released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive for the RG Hi-Nu Gundam. As the name suggests, it's an accessory kit for the standard release RG Hi-Nu Gundam, and the contents are actually quite generous — more than you might expect.

First up, the fin funnel effect parts are molded in soft clear red and feature all-new sculpts. The blue effect parts at the back of the fin funnels and the clear support pieces are reused from the separately sold Figure-rise Effect - Jet Effect [Clear Blue]. On top of that, an Action Base with three base plates is included, so there are a total of 14 runners in the box.

The effect parts fit together nicely with the RG Hi-Nu's fin funnels, and as you can see in the photos above, you can pull off some pretty flashy and dynamic scenes. The effect parts that slot inside the fin funnels come in three different shapes, two of each, so you can equip all six fin funnels at once. The support arms look a bit thin compared to the effect parts themselves, but once you get everything seated properly they hold up just fine.

Worth noting — the fin funnels on the standard release RG Nu Gundam share the same structure and dimensions, so these work just as well on that kit too. If you're a fan of both the RG Hi-Nu Gundam and the Nu Gundam, this seems like a pretty fun accessory kit well worth picking up. :-)
