On May 21, 2026, Bandai Spirits announced the ROBOT魂 <SIDE MS> Nightingale ~Exclusive Edition~, based on Char Aznable's custom mobile suit from the novel and manga "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children." The figure will be sold exclusively through Premium Bandai, with orders opening at 16:00 on May 22. It measures approximately 165mm in height and a massive 400mm in width and 310mm in depth. The body uses two shades of matte red paint to emphasize scale, while thruster nozzles and cylinders get a glossy metallic finish. Over 80 markings are applied across the surface. Gimmicks include hidden arms under the skirt, detachable funnels on the binders, and an original "High-Speed Movement Mode" with folded binders. The set comes with a large mega beam rifle, four beam saber effects, a beam tomahawk with effects, a storage beam tomahawk, a shield, replacement wrist parts, and a dedicated base. The main materials are ABS, PVC, and die-cast. Shipment is scheduled for October 2026, and the price is 35,200 yen including tax.
The figure is based on the mobile suit design from the "Beltorchika's Children" novel and manga, an alternate retelling of the film "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack." The novel was originally published by Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, and the manga by Kadokawa Comics Ace.
The ROBOT魂 release marks the first time this specific design has been three-dimensionalized in the line. The figure's massive 400mm width and 310mm depth are described by Inside as "unprecedented volume" for the series. The matte two-tone red paint is intended to create a "sense of scale," while the metallic finish on the thruster nozzles and cylinders provides a texture contrast against the matte exterior.
Gimmicks include hidden arms that deploy from under the skirt, detachable funnels on the binder surface, and the ROBOT魂 original "High-Speed Movement Mode" with folded binders. The set includes a full weapon loadout: a large mega beam rifle, four beam saber effects, a beam tomahawk with its own effect set, a storage beam tomahawk, a shield, and replacement wrist parts (three left, four right). A dedicated base is also included.
