Mobile Suit Variations Model Series

Sign in to edit

Mobile Suit Variation (MSV) (モビルスーツバリエーション Mobiru Sūtsu Bariēshon?) is a line of Gunpla kits of the Mobile Suits from the Universal Century timeline in the Gundam meta series. Released from 1983 to 1984, the line features mobile suits from the Mobile Suit Gundam model series that have been redesigned for different purposes and environments. Also included in the line is the PF-78-1 Perfect Gundam from the manga Plamo-Kyoshiro. Like the previous model kit series, the MSV kits require glue and paint. Each package contains a small tube of glue for quick assembly.[1]

Modelers refer to these kits as "Old kits" (旧キット Kyū kitto?) when comparing them to more recent Gunpla releases. Reissues of these kits can be distinguished from their original releases by their glossy box print (as opposed to the original's matte finish) and inclusion of plastic content information on the box's side flap. The reissues also omit the "ST" mark, as model kits are generally exempted from the requirements of the Japan Toy Association's Safety Toy (ST) Standard. In addition, reissues from 2019 onwards will bear the blue Bandai Spirits logo.
