The Sinanju Stein, the MS that can be described as an uncut gemstone (Stein) for full- Psycho-Frame machines that led to the RX-0 series, has been updated into a Ver.Ka kit with designs based on its appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative.
The engravings, features unique to units used by the Sleeves, have been reproduced with parts division. The chest section with decorations is a cockpit hatch and its opening and closing gimmicks have been recreated, and the chest block can move up and down.
The Beam Axes can be connected and equipped as a long Beam Naginata, and the beam parts can be attached while the Axes are attached to the shield. Its main armaments such as the High Beam Rifle and Bazooka have been updated with gimmicks unique to the Sinanju.
The movable mechanisms are built into the elbows and knees, The Beam Saber racks have gimmicks where the grips lift up, and the leg thrusters move independently. Emotional Manipulator SP hand parts with independently moving fingers are included, as well as two types of Zoltan Akkanen figures (sitting/standing) and newly designed water decals unique to this Ver.Ka edition.
MESSAGE from Hajime Katoki
There were originally two Sinanju Steins in the world of the series. This was made clear from the beginning of the “Gundam Unicorn” novel series, but the role that the second Sinanju Stein played was kept hidden until “Gundam Narrative” was written. Some of you may remember there was another Sinanju Stein Ver.Ka that released about 10 years ago when there were still no plans to feature the MS in the animated “Gundam Unicorn” series, which was yet to be concluded. This time, we incorporated settings from the animated “Gundam Narrative” film and created engravings of Neo Zeon on the sleeves consisting of parts division, which can be recreated by simply assembling the kit. You can see that it embodies GUNPLA technology from the past 10 years. It also adopts design arrangements unique to this GUNPLA such as gimmicks where the Beam Naginata can be divided and stored.
