Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance

Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance retells the original One Year War from the Zeon side, following Solari and her unit, the Red Wolves, 11 months into the conflict. Rivals Corner's collection covers the HG kit range from the 2024 Netflix series: Gundam EX and Zaku II Solari. Free tracked UK shipping applies on orders over £99.

The One Year War, From the Other Side

Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance takes the same setting as the original 1979 series, the One Year War, but tells it from the Zeon side, 11 months into the conflict, following Solari and her unit, the Red Wolves. It's a genuine Netflix original (2024), produced with Bandai Namco Film Works and SAFEHOUSE using Unreal Engine 5, not a licensed reissue of old footage.

Build the HG line here and it follows standard Gunpla assembly, snap-fit frame first, then armour panels, no glue or paint required. Miss a joint step and posing options shrink, same as any HG kit. Get it right and you've got a display piece from a genuinely new visual take on the classic One Year War era.

Which kit's worth building first? HG 1/144 Zaku II Solari RFV covers the show's lead Zeon pilot's mobile suit. HG 1/144 Gundam EX RFV covers the Federation side. Beyond these two, the show also features Gouf Custom, Zaku Tank, GM and Guntank Type B, none of which have Gunpla kits yet, worth watching for if Bandai expands the line.
