The gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX mecha joins the Gundam Universe figure line.
Tamashii Nations, the renowned collectibles brand, has shaken the world of anime and mecha fans with the announcement of the inclusion of the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX figure into its popular Gundam Universe collection. This news has generated a wave of anticipation, especially since this mobile suit is the star of the new anime production "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX". The figure arrives at a time of great interest in the series, which began broadcasting in April 2025 and has been heavily promoted through various events, including special screenings and a notable presence at anime and modeling conventions. The marketing of this figure is shaping up to be a key piece in the strategy for this new and exciting intellectual property within the vast Gundam canon.
Key Launch Details for the Gundam Universe gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX Figure
Gundam enthusiasts and action figure collectors should mark their calendars: the Gundam Universe gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX figure will be available on the market in November 2025. Its price has been set at 5,500 yen (tax included), which is equivalent to 5,000 yen without tax. Pre-orders, a crucial moment to secure this coveted piece, will begin on June 2, 2025. One of the most outstanding and anticipated features of this model is the inclusion of the innovative "UNIVERSAL REACTION FRAME". This new type of internal frame, which Tamashii Nations plans to implement in its Gundam Universe figures starting in the summer of 2025, is meticulously designed to significantly optimize the figures' mobility and articulation range, promising more dynamic and anime-accurate poses.
Mobile Suit Overview: Getting to Know the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX
The gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX, a creation of the renowned mechanical designer Ikuto Yamashita, is the protagonist mobile suit of the animated series "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX". It is primarily piloted by the young and talented Amate Yuzuriha, who adopts the alias "Machu". The series' narrative unfolds in an intriguing divergent timeline from the Universal Century (U.C.), set in the year U.C. 0085. This scenario is five years after a One Year War whose outcome was the surprising victory of the Principality of Zeon, a historical turning point attributed to the capture of the RX-78-02 Gundam prototype by the legendary Char Aznable. As a direct consequence of these events, the GQuuuuuuX is an advanced technological development by Zeon, the result of reverse engineering applied to the captured Gundam, thus establishing it as a "Zeon Gundam". This unit is described not only as a cutting-edge mobile suit designed for Newtype pilots but also, more evocatively, as a "fearsome beast equipped with Omega-type Psycommu".
Its most distinctive and revolutionary feature is the Omega Psycommu System, an evolution of Psycommu technology considered "highly forbidden" due to its power and the implications of its use. The activation of this system is a unique and visually striking process: the blade-shaped antenna mounted on the unit's head, which also serves as a restraint mechanism, detaches; subsequently, a brainwave control interface unfolds inside the cockpit, allowing all mobile suit movements to be directly controlled by the Psycommu system. This activation induces a sensory phenomenon in the pilot known as "Kira-Kira," characterized by an altered perception of time and a deep sense of unity with the mobile suit. Regarding its equipment, the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX features an integrated Core Fighter system camouflaged as a backpack, in addition to a formidable arsenal that includes Beam Sabers, a Beam Rifle, the peculiar Tomenosuke Heat Hawk (a civilian-made replica of the Zaku's Heat Hawk), a defensive shield with a field generator, and multiple Vulcan cannons mounted on the neck. The mobile suit's technical specifications detail a head height of 18.0 meters, increasing to 18.2 meters when the Omega Psycommu is active, a base weight of 42.4 metric tons, and a total equipped weight of 48.8 metric tons.
Key Features of the Gundam Universe gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX Figure
The Gundam Universe gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX collectible figure has been sculpted with great attention to detail, aiming to faithfully reproduce the dynamic proportions and bold details that characterize the mobile suit in the anime. It stands approximately 150 mm tall, corresponding to the standard 6-inch format distinctive of this Tamashii Nations figure line. It is manufactured from high-quality ABS and PVC materials, prized for their robustness, durability, and ability to capture fine details, ensuring a collectible piece that will stand the test of time.
A significant technical advancement this figure introduces to the Gundam Universe line is the implementation of the aforementioned "UNIVERSAL REACTION FRAME". The gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX is among the first models to benefit from this new internal frame. This innovative system is designed to offer an optimized range of motion and a notable improvement in the figure's overall articulation, with particular emphasis on the shoulder's range of movement. This innovation will allow collectors and fans to recreate the series' epic scenes and complex combat poses with greater ease and fidelity, adding a new level of dynamism to their displays.
To complement its display and playability options, the GQuuuuuuX figure will come with a complete and varied set of accessories. This set will include: the main figure body, three pairs of interchangeable hands allowing for various expressions and secure weapon gripping, the distinctive Tomenosuke Heat Hawk, a Beam Rifle, a Beam Saber that will include beam effects to simulate its activation, a defensive shield, and a set of joints, presumably designed to ensure compatibility with Tamashii STAGE display bases (sold separately), allowing for aerial and even more elaborate poses.
