Unfortunately I think Hi Nu has been made less cool by the decades of other winged Gundams that have followed it whereas original Nu's fin funnel cape is still like the coolest thing ever and hasn't really been replicated.

Given the recent announcement, I have to ask: do you prefer the design of the RX-93 𝑣-Gundam, or the RX-93-v2 Hi-𝑣 Gundam?
For me, the proportions and asymmetry of the 𝑣-Gundam are completely perfect. Peak Gundam design

Basically we need more funnel capes.
The original Nu just looks cooler; it's like a lightweight fencer, while the Hi-Nu feels more like a juggernaut 🤔
