This new design looks different from the Nu Gundam that people know and love because its signature Fin Funnel Wings have been switched out for a Long Range Fin Funnel.
The differences between the beloved Nu Gundam and the newer RX-93ff Nu Gundam are immediately obvious, even to non-Gundam aficionados.
Obviously, building a statue with proper Nu Gundam funnel wings would be top-heavy and possibly even dangerous in typhoon-prone Japan.
Granted, there have been instances in which Nu Gundam has been depicted without the wings, but they’ve become a signature design element.
