METAL BUILD Kampfer Figure Announced: Recreates Its Low-Profile Movement Scene from the Anime

Introduction

The Kempufaa from Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080: Poketto no Naka no Sensou (also known as Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket) has been brought to life as a three-dimensional figure by the METAL BUILD line. It’s been revealed that this premium collectible is currently available through a lottery sale system.

About the Anime: A Groundbreaking Gundam Story

This work holds a special place in Gundam history. It was the first OVA (Original Video Animation) in the franchise and, interestingly, the first production not directed by Tomino Yoshiyuki—the creator and primary visionary behind the original Kidou Senshi Gundam. Breaking from tradition, it doesn’t follow the pilots in the titular mobile suits. Instead, this ambitious narrative is told from the “other side,” focusing on two protagonists: a young boy named Al and a Zeon Principality recruit named Bernie. It’s a poignant tale about trying to destroy a Gundam, and it pioneered the “hidden history” storytelling approach that would influence later Gundam sagas.

Lottery Sale Details

Now, the iconic blue mobile suit from this classic series gets the high-end METAL BUILD treatment. The figure is being sold via a lottery. The application period runs from 10:00 on Friday, January 23, 2026, to 23:00 on Thursday, February 5, 2026. Winners will be announced on Monday, February 9, and Tuesday, February 10, 2026.

Premium Craftsmanship & Design

This isn’t your average figure. The armor features extensive paint applications, giving it deep, varied color tones and a texture that feels authentic and far beyond simple molded plastic. Strategically placed die-cast metal parts make this one of the heaviest in the METAL BUILD series, adding a substantial, premium heft and presence that true collectors will love.

The detail is incredible. The main verniers across the body are finished with metallic paint and are fully extensible, visually hinting at the mobile suit’s raw power. It even recreates the memorable antenna movement gimmick from its dramatic sortie scene. For static displays, a fixed, detail-focused antenna is also included in the box.

Loaded with Armaments

True to its in-your-face design, the Kempufaa comes loaded for bear. You get its standard arsenal: the Giant Baz rocket launchers, dedicated shotguns, and beam sabers. But METAL BUILD throws in exclusive original equipment too, like a portable chain mine rack, a bazooka suspension arm, and additional chain mines. This lets you create a weapon-packed “what-if” silhouette that’s an absolute blast to pose.

To top it off, a special display stand is included to recreate its iconic low-profile crawling scene from the anime, allowing you to capture a perfect moment from the series on your shelf.

The romance of this blue menace is perfectly captured. With its unbeatable sense of weight and texture, this is a must-have item for any serious Gundam fan or collector. If the Kempufaa has ever caught your eye, this is the definitive version to aim for.
