The Missing Link: HGUC Gundam Unit 7 [G07] Finally Gets a Modern Kit (New Mold)

on

It’s not just a recolor. The final unit of the "Phantom Sweep Squadron" arrives with engineering that rivals the RX-78NT-1 Alex.

It’s not just a recolor. The final unit of the "Phantom Sweep Squadron" arrives with engineering that rivals the RX-78NT-1 Alex. For years, fans of Mobile Suit Gundam Senki and Battlefield Record U.C. 0081 have been asking: "Where is Unit 7?"

Premium Bandai has answered. The HGUC 1/144 Gundam Unit 7 (G07) is officially coming, and it is a completely newly molded kit. Currently slated for its 3rd Batch delivery in April 2026, this kit is proving to be a massive hit, likely due to the impressive engineering Bandai Hobby has packed into the 1/144 scale frame.

Why This Is A "Must-Have"

Unlike older HG kits from the Gundam Unit 4 and 5 era, the G07 is built with modern standards.

1. The "Linked Leg" Mechanism
The most exciting feature listed in the release info is a new "linked leg mechanism." This usually implies sliding armor or internal frame movements typically reserved for Real Grades or Master Grades. For an HGUC kit, this is a huge selling point.

This image highlights the impressive articulation and posing capability of the new HGUC Gundam Unit 7 kit, likely demonstrating the 'linked leg mechanism' mentioned in the article.

2. The 360-Degree Lore
In the canon, the RX-78-7 was designed to be on par with the legendary Gundam Alex. It features the 360-degree panoramic monitor technology and magnetic coating specs. For collectors trying to build the entire "RX-78 Project" lineage, your shelf is incomplete without this unit.

3. Full Armor Ready?
The lore emphasizes that the Unit 7 was designed for the FSWS (Full Armor) plan. While this kit represents the base unit, the distinct rear verniers and mounting latches suggest Bandai paid close attention to the mechanical detail.
