(PREMIUM-BANDAI) GUNDAM – MG 1/100 ZGMF-1017 Mobile Ginn (Miguel Aiman Custom)

The ZGMF-1017 Aiman’s GINN, also known as the ZGMF-1017 GINN [Aiman’s Custom], is a unique variation in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV series. This mobile suit belongs to the ZAFT pilot Miguel Aiman, a member of the Le Creuset Team and known as the “Magic Bullet of Dusk.” The custom GINN is prominently displayed in Aiman’s characteristic orange color scheme, highlighting his piloting skills.

Background: Due to production constraints, the ZGMF-515 CGUE was in short supply at the start of the First Alliance-PLANT War. As a result, ace pilots like Aiman were assigned GINNs equipped with high-precision components. Aiman’s GINN is a prime example, enhanced by “DEFRÖCK,” a volunteer group dedicated to him. With improved thrusters and sensors, it outperforms the traditional GINN by about 20%.

Miguel was aboard the Nazca-class ship Vesalius early in C.E. 71, tasked with uncovering the culprit behind the destruction of multiple ZAFT supply bases. The investigation identified Serpent Tail’s commander Gai Murakumo as the offender, leading to a battle between Miguel and Gai, each piloting their modified GINNs. Miguel’s GINN was heavily damaged in this conflict, forcing him to use a standard GINN for his next mission. He then joined a ZAFT team to infiltrate the neutral Orb Union outpost Heliopolis to seize Earth Alliance prototype mobile suits. After Miguel’s death, the fate of his personalized GINN remains unknown.
