Straight build + Panel lining + Seals

This set includes the original RG Nu Gundam plus the fin funnel effect parts.

Clear stand using 3 bases

The 6 fin funnel effect parts can be arranged in various support combinations.

The effect parts plug into the back of the fin funnels, as shown above.

The supports can be freely combined in 1/2/3/4 tiers and more.

Leftover parts from the stand runners

This is the RG Nu Gundam Fin Funnel Effect Set, released as a special version. It's essentially the previously released RG Nu Gundam bundled with separately sold jet effect parts and a stand, and the box proudly stamps it as a limited production run. Probably because of that, it doesn't carry an official RG number.

Since the RG Nu Gundam included here is the same as the original release, you can check the RG Nu Gundam review for a detailed look at that kit — this review focuses on the added parts. The newly included parts consist of a clear plastic stand, clear yellow jet effect runners, and a large assortment of supports and joint parts for positioning the fin funnels.

The stand is the same type previously included with Figure-rise Standard kits and similar, except here you get three base plates. The yellow effect parts are designed to plug into the back of the fin funnels, and you can chain the supports together in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... tier configurations. There are also fixing pins included for changing the support angle or securing everything to the base.

With so many supports and fixing parts provided, you can freely position all 6 fin funnels just about anywhere you like. The hold is pretty solid too — once you get the angle set, it stays put without much fuss. The supports do have a bit of flex to them, so they'll sway with even a small vibration, but that's just something you have to live with.

The added parts bump the price up by ¥1800, but the display you get is definitely worth it. That said, this combined kit is the limited item — there's nothing stopping you from buying the clear stand and jet effect parts separately instead. It's really more of a convenience kit for people who don't want to bother hunting everything down individually. :-)
