What This Set Is All About

So, what exactly is the Fin Funnels set? Let’s break it down:

This is a dedicated option parts kit released by Bandai to complement select 1/144 Gunpla kits — especially the Entry Grade ν Gundam — by adding those iconic fin funnels fans know and love from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack.

Rather than being a whole new model, it’s a collection of extra weapon and display parts you can attach to your existing builds — perfect if you want to level up your poses or get creative with dioramas.

What You Get in the Box

The set packs a bunch of cool goodies:

• 6 Fin Funnels — recreate attack formations!
• New Hyper Bazooka — give your Nu Gundam some extra firepower.
• Beam Saber Set — classic close-combat style.
• Backpack (Double Fin Funnel Type) — display flexibility!
• Joint Parts Set — so you can attach everything to compatible kits.

💡 Bonus Tip: Pair it with the separately sold Weapon Display Base 01 to pose your fin funnels in dramatic firing positions!

Why Fans Are Excited

Gunpla builders have always loved the aesthetics and tactical vibe of fin funnels — they’re one of the most visually striking features of the beloved Nu Gundam. Before this set, many hobbyists had to improvise or rely on third-party parts to get that look. Now, Bandai finally delivers an official accessory that’s easy to use and compatible with multiple 1/144 kits.

A lot of the early chatter online reflects genuine excitement — especially about how these funnels mount and display without needing extra mods or tricks. (Of course some builders will still tweak for paint and detailing — that’s part of the fun!)

Tips for Builders

• Compatibility: Works best with the Entry Grade 1/144 ν Gundam, but many modelers report it fits other 1/144 Gunpla with 3mm mounting points.
• Display Upgrades: Grab clear action stands or display bases to fully show off your funnels in flight.
• Customization: Panel lining and light weathering on the funnels and bazooka add depth and realism.

Whether you’re a seasoned Gunpla builder or just starting your collection, Option Parts Set Gunpla 19 (Fin Funnels) is a must-see accessory for anyone who wants to bring that extra oomph to their Universal Century rigs. With official pre-orders live and release around the corner, now’s the perfect time to snag one! 🚀
