Amuro and Char's last battle, in eight SD kits Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack is the film that closes the loop on the original Universal Century saga. Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, rivals since the One Year War, meet for the last time above a falling Axis Shock. This set gives you both sides of that fight and the mobile suits around them, all in Bandai's SD BB Senshi style. Eight kits, one box: Amuro's RX-93 Nu Gundam, Char's MSN-04 Sazabi, and six of the Londo Bell and Neo Zeon suits that filled out the rest of the film's mobile suit roster. It's a way to get the whole Char's Counterattack cast on the shelf without building eight separate full-size kits. Build difficulty Each of the eight kits in this set is a simple SD build. Low part count, snap-fit, no glue and no paint needed to get a good result straight off the runner, and Bandai rates the set for builders eight years and up. Individually, any one of these kits is a quick, relaxed build. The catch is there are eight of them. Budget more time than a single kit purchase, even though each figure on its own is genuinely beginner-friendly. It's a good one to work through a few kits at a time rather than all in one sitting. Technical highlights Every kit is moulded in its finished colours with a sticker sheet for the smaller detail work, so no painting is required for an accurate look. Several kits carry spring-loaded weapon gimmicks, confirmed on the Nu Gundam, Sazabi, Jegan, and both Geara Doga and Jagd Doga variants, and the Re-GZ can be reconfigured into its space fighter mode. As with most SD kits from this era of the BB Senshi line, articulation is simpler than a modern HG or RG, with basic hip and shoulder movement rather than full HG-style joints across most of the range. What makes this kit special The complete Char's Counterattack cast: all eight mobile suits from the film's climax in one box, not spread across separate individual releases. Amuro vs Char, on the shelf: the Nu Gundam and Sazabi, the two mobile suits at the centre of the final showdown between Gundam's original rivals, built side by side. No paint required: every kit is moulded in colour with stickers for the finer details, so a straight build still looks right. Spring-loaded weapon gimmicks: the Nu Gundam, Sazabi, Jegan, and both Geara Doga and Jagd Doga variants carry spring-loaded weapon parts. Re-GZ transforms: the Londo Bell test type reconfigures into its space fighter mode. Beginner-friendly, eight times over: Bandai rates the set for builders 8 and up, a genuinely approachable way to build out a big chunk of a Universal Century shelf in one go. What's in the box RX-93 Nu Gundam SD kit, piloted by Amuro Ray MSN-04 Sazabi SD kit, piloted by Char Aznable Re-GZ SD kit, the Londo Bell test type Jegan SD kit, Londo Bell's mass-production mobile suit Geara Doga SD kit, standard Neo Zeon colours Geara Doga SD kit, Rezin Schnyder's custom colours Jagd Doga SD kit, Gyunei Guss's custom colours Jagd Doga SD kit, Quess Paraya's custom colours Sticker sheets for surface detail across the set Assembly instructions covering all eight kits Compatible accessories No display base is included with this set. These are SD-scale kits from an older generation of the BB Senshi line, and compatibility with Mecha Express's current Bandai Action Base stands couldn't be confirmed from the sources checked, so no specific stand is linked here. Most SD figures from this era stand fine on their own. Build your Char's Counterattack collection Want a piece of this set in full scale? The Bandai 1/100 MG RX-93 Nu Gundam Ver.

What to watch for This is an older release in the BB Senshi line, first sold in 2008. Searches across Reddit's r/Gunpla, Japanese hobby blogs, and general search turned up no specific build-issue consensus for this exact set. Two general points apply to SD kits of this generation: articulation is simpler than a modern HG or RG, with basic hip and shoulder movement and less common elbow and knee joints across the range, and spring-loaded weapon gimmicks (fitted to several kits here) can loosen with repeated use over time as a general trait of that mechanism, not something specifically reported about this set. Builder tips: with eight kits in one box, sort the runners by suit before starting so small parts don't get mixed up between figures. Keep the sticker sheet flat until you're ready to use it. Build notes No glue needed. A hobby knife or nippers will help clean up any nub marks. Set aside a few sessions rather than one sitting, since this is effectively eight small kits, not one. No batteries required. Last updated: 13 August 2026 (AEST)
