GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT Gets March 2027 Release Date With New Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Sat, 5 Sep 2026 19:48:33 -0400

GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT is officially set to launch on March 5, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with pre-orders now available.

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, the upcoming action game introduces an original Gundam timeline where humanity is fighting for survival against a mysterious threat known as the Apocalypse.

Players take control of RE-X, an ace pilot who operates the Gundam Helix, alongside Vii, a Haro unit designed to assist the mobile suit.

The latest Release Date Announcement Trailer gives us a closer look at the game's high-speed combat, new characters, customized mobile suits, and several new mobile suits that will appear throughout the story.

Combat takes place across both ground and aerial environments, with the Gundam Helix offering plenty of customization options. Players can equip different weapons, frames, thrusters, and Apocalypse Units (AP-U), as well as customize the mobile suit's colors.

Each weapon also has its own actions and skills, giving players plenty of ways to tune the Gundam Helix around their preferred playstyle.

Another interesting detail confirmed with the latest information is online co-op for 2-3 players. Bandai Namco has confirmed the feature, although details on which missions will support co-op and how progression will work have yet to be revealed.

The trailer also introduces several characters who will appear throughout the story. Sofia is a mysterious young woman who keeps watch over RE-X, while April serves as captain of the Stellarvane, an independent special-duty vessel carrying out missions against the Apocalypse.

Big Paul leads a group of sand pirates who hunt the Apocalypse and raid wealthy transports to distribute supplies to settlers. Elaine is a knight commander and highly skilled mobile suit pilot who leads her forces on the front lines.

METAL ROBOT SPIRITS (SIDE MS) Gundam Double X - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Thu, 3 Sep 2026 20:44:37 -0400

METAL ROBOT SPIRITS (SIDE MS) Gundam Double X

Release Date: February 2027

Price: 24,200 yen

The Gundam Double X is joining the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS lineup as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of Mobile Suit Gundam X.

Based on the GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X, the figure recreates the mobile suit developed by the New United Nations Earth after the 7th Space War. The Double X was developed using the wreckage of the GX-9900 Gundam X recovered after its use by Jamil Neate, with some of the Gundam X's systems incorporated into the new mobile suit.

The Gundam X was also used as the base during development, as creating an entirely new mobile suit design proved difficult. The Double X would eventually become one of the most powerful Gundams featured in Mobile Suit Gundam X, equipped with its massive Twin Satellite Cannon system.

The METAL ROBOT SPIRITS release uses die-cast joints alongside plating, polarizing foil, pearl finishes, and metallic paint. Its reflector, energy radiator, and Satellite Cannon can be deployed without swapping parts.

Included with the figure are three types of interchangeable wrist parts for both hands, replacement antenna parts, a defense plate, the DX-exclusive Buster Rifle, two Hyper Beam Sword effect parts, various joint parts, and a dedicated display base.

The METAL ROBOT SPIRITS Gundam Double X is priced at 24,200 yen including tax. Reservations open September 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. JST, with the figure scheduled to ship in February 2027.

Mobile Suit Gundam X originally aired in 1996 and ran for 39 episodes. The series celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026.

Release Date: February 2027
Price: 2,530 yen

INITIAL RELEASE
Release Date: May 2018
Price: 2,268 yen

The HGUC 1/144 Gouf Flight Type brings the distinctive MS-07H-8 featured in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team to the GunPla lineup.

The HGUC kit recreates the Gouf's heavily modified flight configuration with new molding across the head, shoulders, chest, backpack, waist, and legs. Its characteristic German gray color scheme is reproduced with colored molding, including detailed parts separation around the leg intakes, thermonuclear jet engines, and propulsion nozzles.

The cockpit hatch features newly molded parts with clear detailing, while the enlarged backpack includes movable left and right stabilizers. New waist parts recreate the rear thrusters, power pipes, stabilizing wings, and movable stabilizer beneath the side armor.

Based on the HGUC Gouf Custom, the kit features a wide range of articulation for dynamic poses. Its armament includes the Gatling Shield, Triple 35mm Gatling Gun, and Heat Saber.

P-Bandai: HG 1/144 MS-06RD-4 High Mobility Prototype Zaku [REISSUE] - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GKC) — Wed, 2 Sep 2026 19:57:53 -0400

P-Bandai: HG 1/144 MS-06RD-4 High Mobility Prototype Zaku [REISSUE]
Release Date: February 2027
Price: 2,420 Yen

INITIAL RELEASE
Release Date: April 2016
Price: 2,160 Yen

First seen in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, the MS-06RD-4 was an experimental mobile suit developed under a top-secret Principality of Zeon military project involving Zeonic and Zimmad. Its goal was to explore the modification of the Zaku for space combat while testing technology that would eventually be used on the Rick Dom.

The unusual mobile suit combines the upper body of an MS-06R series Zaku II with the lower body that would lead to the MS-09R Rick Dom. Its leg units were equipped with thermonuclear rocket engines, serving as a test bed for the propulsion system later used by the Rick Dom. The engineering and ease of maintenance of these leg units were also considered superior to those of the MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type.

For the HG kit, the distinctive purple, blue, and black color scheme is reproduced with colored molding. New parts recreate the characteristic head, chest, shoulder armor, waist, backpack, legs, and feet, with detailed sculpting throughout.

The kit includes a newly sculpted MS machine gun with a design distinct from the standard Zaku II weapon, along with the Heat Hawk. New waist joint parts allow the Heat Hawk to be stored on the mobile suit, while multiple interchangeable hands provide different posing options.

Original marking decals are also included to complete the kit's distinctive appearance.

GunPla Lineup September 2026

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Tue, 1 Sep 2026 20:11:31 -0400

September 2026 is a particularly busy month for GunPla, with the MGSD line expanding into Universal Century with the NZ-666 Kshatriya, while HGFC adds several Mobile Fighter G Gundam releases. The Witch from Mercury also gets a major wave of Premium Bandai kits, including Gundam Lfrith Jiu, Gundam Naion, Beguir-Beu Torche, Desultor, and Heingra.

Here is the complete GunPla lineup for September 2026.

MGSD NZ-666 Kshatriya

Release Date: September 2026

Price: 7,700 yen

The NZ-666 Kshatriya is officially joining the Master Grade Super Deformed (MGSD) lineup, marking the MGSD series’ move into the Universal Century timeline. This release introduces the imposing Neo Zeon mobile suit in a compact form while aiming to preserve its defining features and presence.

The kit is scheduled for release in September 2026 and is priced at 7,700 yen.

The NZ-666 Kshatriya was developed as a downsized successor to the NZ-000 Queen Mansa, which stood over 40 meters tall. Its reduced size was achieved through the use of newer technology, including the installation of Psycho-Frame around the cockpit, while maintaining high performance. Following the Second Neo Zeon War, Neo Zeon lost the ability to manufacture Psycho-Frame, making the Kshatriya a one-off unit.

Much of the Kshatriya’s functionality is concentrated in its four large wings, or binders, allowing it to reach nearly half the size of its predecessor. Each binder houses two mega particle cannons, a funnel container with six funnels, an I-Field generator, flexible thrusters, a propellant tank, and a sub-arm equipped with a small beam saber. The binders also function as AMBAC units, contributing to its mobility and control.

As with its predecessor, the Kshatriya demands a highly capable Newtype pilot to draw out its full potential. With its heavy armament and distinctive design translated into MGSD form, this release offers a new way to experience one of the Universal Century’s most recognizable mobile suits.

Featuring its striking body colors, massive Hakuji weapon, and signature Gyan Shield, this latest release captures the fierce battlefield presence fans have been waiting to add to their collections.

This release will be available through a lottery sale system rather than first come, first served, making it one of the more anticipated upcoming kits for collectors and builders alike. Applications open from May 15, 2026 at 12:00 PM until May 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with winners scheduled to be announced on May 29, 2026.

The HG Gyan (Hakuji Equipment) faithfully recreates the mobile suit’s distinctive appearance using molded color parts, giving the kit a sharp and anime-accurate finish straight out of the box. Its articulation allows for a wide range of action poses inspired by scenes from the series, while the movable mono-eye adds extra personality and intensity to display options.

The included Gyan Shield features a missile hatch deployment gimmick, adding even more play value and detail to the build. Alongside the iconic Hakuji weapon, the kit also includes a dedicated support stand for stable posing and dramatic displays. The Hakuji itself is a massive composite weapon that combines a giant physical lance with additional thrusters mounted on its rear section, making the Gyan even more devastating in close combat.

Release Date: September 2026

Price: 2,640 Yen

The "Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn)" OVA series expands its model kit collection with the addition of two Geara Zulu machines to the HGUC series, including the Gilboa custom (sold separately).

The kit also contains the Sturm Fausts, which has eight soldiers that can be mounted on both shields or detachable to simulate different battle scenarios.

New suspension parts allow a Beam Hawk to be mounted to the right hip, increasing the model's versatility even more. The introduction of two types of beam effects allows enthusiasts to display dynamic action postures, which improves the overall visual attractiveness of the completed model.

The detailing is enhanced with sticker decals that depict the markings of the Full Frontal Guards, adding a realistic touch to the modifications. Collectors and builders can use the kit's included weaponry, such as the beam sniper rifle, Sturm Fausts, Beam Hawk, and shields, to construct a fearsome display piece that evokes the essence of the Gundam UC universe.

P-Bandai: PGU 1/60 RX-93 nu Gundam (Clear Armor Parts + Fin Funnel Expansion)

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 19:20:08 -0400

P-Bandai: PG UNLEASHED 1/60 Nu Gundam Fin Funnel & Clear Color Body

Release: December 2026

Price: 16,500 yen

The PG UNLEASHED 1/60 Nu Gundam Fin Funnel & Clear Color Body includes clear exterior parts for the Nu Gundam, allowing much of its detailed internal structure to be seen through the armor.

The clear parts use multiple molded colors across the mobile suit and its weapons, giving the PG UNLEASHED Nu Gundam a completely see-through appearance that lets builders appreciate its intricate inner frame.

The beam rifle and New Hyper Bazooka are also included in the clear color treatment, letting their internal details remain visible as well.

The expansion set also comes with six Fin Funnels! This gives builders an additional set that can be combined with the six Fin Funnels included with the separately sold PG UNLEASHED Nu Gundam.

Together, the two sets give the Nu Gundam a total of 12 Fin Funnels, recreating its Double Fin Funnel configuration.

The separately sold PG UNLEASHED 1/60 Nu Gundam LED Unit can also be used with the clear exterior parts. The illuminated sections, including the Psycho-Frame, can be seen through the new clear armor for an even more stunning display.

Exceed Model Trinity RX-78-2 Gundam Comes In Three Parts To Complete The Bust

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 21:52:33 -0400

Bandai is bringing the RX-78-2 Gundam to the EXCEED MODEL TRINITY series, with a special version featuring cable and lighting units available through the Gashapon Online Shop.

The EXCEED MODEL TRINITY RX-78-2 Gundam is a new capsule-less Gashapon figure that uses three separate components to complete a roughly 20cm-tall RX-78-2 Gundam bust.

The three components are the Exterior, Internal Structure, and Core Fighter Cockpit. Each one is sold individually and randomly, with each component having a 33.33% chance of being received.

This means collectors will need to obtain all three components to complete the RX-78-2 Gundam.

The exterior component recreates the Gundam's outer armor, while the Internal Structure reveals the mechanical details underneath. The Core Fighter Cockpit recreates the central section of the mobile suit and includes additional details inside.

The Gashapon Online Shop version adds cable and light units to the three components, allowing the completed RX-78-2 Gundam to be displayed with additional lighting effects, and mechanical aesthetics.

Despite being available through Gashapon Online, this is still a random individual purchase. Each order gives collectors one of the three components, rather than providing all three pieces together.

The Gashapon Online Shop edition is priced at 1,850 yen per random item, including tax. Sales began on August 31, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. JST, with delivery scheduled for late October 2026.

A regular version of the EXCEED MODEL TRINITY RX-78-2 Gundam is also scheduled to release through Gashapon machines in Japan from September 2026, priced at 1,500 yen per random item.

The Gashapon Online Shop version is therefore the more feature-packed release, adding the cable and lighting gimmicks while retaining the same three-part random format.

For collectors looking to complete the full RX-78-2 Gundam, getting all three components will be part of the challenge. With each component having a 33.33% chance of appearing, completing the bust could take several attempts.

Sayonara, Unicorn Gundam: Life-Size Statue Says Goodbye After Nine Years

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 21:46:22 -0400

After nearly nine years in Odaiba, the life-size RX-0 Unicorn Gundam has officially reached its final days at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.

The Life-Size Unicorn Gundam Statue Final Ceremony was held on Saturday, August 29, at 7:30 p.m. JST, with the event also livestreamed on the official Gundam Channel for fans around the world.

The ceremony featured a special live performance by Hiroyuki Sawano and SennaRin, with voice actor Genki Okawa serving as the MC. Sawano has worked extensively on the Gundam franchise, including Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative and the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway films. SennaRin has also contributed music to the franchise, including the insert songs “ENDROLL” and “CIRCE” for Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe.

The ceremony also featured the special presentation “UNICORN GUNDAM Statue ― BEYOND POSSIBILITY ―”, which has been running at 8:00 p.m. each night since August 22 as part of the statue’s final program. The presentation combines the Unicorn Gundam with special WALL-G footage projected across DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.

The farewell ceremony then turned toward the fans who supported the statue throughout its long run in Odaiba.

“Thank you very much to everyone who gathered here, as well as everyone who watched over the event through the livestream.”

The message continued with a reflection on the statue’s nine years at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.

“Thanks to all of your support, the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue was able to stand here for nine long years.”

It also recognized the memories created around the statue and the people fans met during their visits.

“We hope that the time you spent here, the memories you made with the people you met, and the Unicorn Gundam itself will continue to live on in your hearts.”

The message then looked ahead to the future.

“As long as people continue to hold onto their hopes and dreams, those feelings will carry forward into the future.”

Fans were encouraged to believe that another Gundam could be waiting in the future.

“The future of humanity is something we create with our own hands.”

Haro then delivered the final words:

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Until we meet again.”

The life-size Unicorn Gundam was unveiled at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in September 2017, replacing the previous life-size RX-78-2 Gundam statue. Standing 19.7 meters tall, the RX-0 has remained one of Odaiba’s most recognizable Gundam attractions throughout its nearly nine-year run.

The statue’s exhibition officially concludes on August 31, 2026.

Sayonara, Unicorn Gundam.

Over 2,500 Parts Bring the Gundam Mk-II to Life in New KAITAI-SHOU-KI Release

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 21:36:56 -0400

Bandai is giving the Gundam Mk-II one of its most ambitious releases yet.

The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG specification) is joining the premium METAL STRUCTURE KAITAI-SHOU-KI series, turning the iconic Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam mobile suit into a massive mechanical display piece built from more than 2,500 individual parts.

Standing approximately 310mm tall, this high-end release combines ABS, PVC, and die-cast metal with an incredible number of moving mechanisms, deployable armor sections, lighting gimmicks, weapons, and display options.

At its core, the KAITAI-SHOU-KI series explores the mechanical structure beneath a mobile suit's armor. For the Gundam Mk-II, Bandai has focused heavily on its famous Movable Frame, one of the design's defining features.

The figure can enter a Full Maintenance Mode, with armor sections opening across the body to expose the internal mechanisms. The chest lifts to reveal the spherical cockpit, while the lower legs feature an extending internal frame. Even the thruster port frames move along with the leg mechanisms.

Bandai has also created an original High-Mobility Combat Mode specifically for this release. The backpack thrusters can be rearranged, while armor panels across the Gundam Mk-II open to simulate heat dissipation during combat.

The included display base turns the release into something that looks straight out of a maintenance hangar.

The Gundam Mk-II can be attached to a central support column, with articulated work arms positioned around the mobile suit to recreate a maintenance scene. Lighting gimmicks are built into both the Gundam Mk-II and the base, while included mini-figures help show just how large this 310mm release really is.

Collectors can also use the included catapult-inspired display parts to recreate launch scenes.

The set comes with a full selection of equipment, including the Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, Vulcan Pod System, Shield, spare E-packs, E-pack joint parts, spare bazooka cartridge, and various beam effect parts.

The Beam Rifle also includes exclusive gimmicks for the KAITAI-SHOU-KI release, allowing a launcher to be attached or the weapon to be displayed in a short-barreled configuration.

There are also several details referencing the Gundam Mk-II's story in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Parts hidden beneath the armor retain the mobile suit's original dark blue Titans colors, while the shield features a painted-over Titans emblem, recalling its journey from the Titans to the AEUG.

The arms and shield base also share a common connection system, allowing the shield to be mounted directly onto the chest in configurations seen in the anime.

The METAL STRUCTURE KAITAI-SHOU-KI RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG specification) is priced at 137,500 yen. Pre-orders open on August 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. JST, with release scheduled for January 2027.

With over 2,500 parts, deployable armor, a fully detailed internal frame, lighting effects, multiple configurations, a maintenance display, and a huge 310mm body, this is shaping up to be one of the biggest Gundam Mk-II releases Bandai has ever produced.

MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 22:19:27 -0400

MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam

Release: March 2027

Price: 26,400 yen

The Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam is officially joining the MGEX lineup, taking one of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom’s most powerful mobile suits into Bandai Spirits’ high-end Master Grade Extreme series.

The ZGMF/A-262PD-P Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam combines the Strike Freedom Gundam Type II with the Proud Defender, a support craft that replaces its Super DRAGOON Mobile Weapon Wings and unlocks a new level of combat capability.

The Proud Defender is equipped with technology capable of deploying nanoparticles for both offense and defense. These can form a spherical barrier around the mobile suit to defend against attacks from every direction, while also unleashing powerful electrical bursts across a wide area.

The added output also allows the Mighty Strike Freedom to activate its ultimate weapon, the Convergent Heavy Nucleon Beam Cannon "Disruptor," a weapon the Strike Freedom Type II could not use on its own.

And, of course, the Proud Defender also equips the Mighty Strike Freedom with the Futsunomitama, the massive physical sword that became one of the mobile suit’s defining weapons in Gundam SEED Freedom.

For this MGEX release, Bandai Spirits is taking the Mighty Strike Freedom’s gold-heavy design in a new direction. The theme behind the kit is "Iridescent Expression," with Bandai using its mechanical core plating technology to pursue an even greater level of sparkle and color variation.

The kit will also make GunPla history as the first to use colored plastic mechanical core plating.

The gold parts have been completely reworked as well. Multiple types of gold plating and extra finishes are combined with real metallic gloss injection molding to create different tones and gradations across the Mighty Strike Freedom.

Underneath the armor, the kit is based on the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam’s highly articulated frame, with some parts newly molded for the Mighty Strike Freedom. That frame is already known for its extensive frame-linked articulation, so seeing it return here with newly designed components should give this release plenty to work with.

The kit also recreates the Disruptor using interchangeable deployment parts, allowing us to display the Mighty Strike Freedom with its devastating weapon activated.

Bandai has not forgotten about the characters either. Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne figures can be placed inside the cockpit, while another Lacus figure can be piloted inside the Proud Defender. A separate standing Lacus figure is also included, allowing fans to recreate one of the film’s memorable scenes by placing her on the Mighty Strike Freedom’s chest.

The MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom comes equipped with the Futsunomitama anti-ship sword, Prototype Type 35 Modified Railguns, two beam rifles, two beam sabers, arm beam shield effect parts, Disruptor deployment parts, character figures, interchangeable hand parts, a display base, and stickers.

With brand-new mechanical core plating technology, multiple types of gold finishes, the return of MGEX’s highly articulated Strike Freedom-based frame, and the massive Proud Defender, the Mighty Strike Freedom is getting exactly the kind of extravagant treatment we would expect from the MGEX line.

HGUC 1/144 Hamma Hamma - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:30:59 -0400

HGUC 1/144 Hamma Hamma

Release: March 2027

Price: 4,400 yen

Neo Zeon’s Hamma Hamma is finally joining the HG lineup, giving one of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ’s more unusual mobile suits a brand-new 1/144 scale GunPla release.

Developed during Neo Zeon’s campaign to conquer the Earth Sphere, the AMX-103 Hamma Hamma was an experimental mobile suit built around the Quasi-Psycommu system. It was designed as a prototype for high-ranking officers and served as part of Neo Zeon’s efforts to explore technology that could eventually bring Psycommu-style capabilities to more mobile suits.

Its biggest feature is impossible to miss. The Hamma Hamma is equipped with detachable, wire-guided claw hands, each armed with a three-barrel beam gun. The wired arms can extend far from the main body, allowing the mobile suit to attack targets across a wide area.

The HG kit recreates that unique setup with arm extension parts and four lead wires. The arm ejection mechanism is reproduced through the lead wires, while an included arm extension base helps support the extended configuration for display.

The arms themselves feature movable claws, while the mono-eye is also movable. Pull-out mechanisms in the arms and hip joints further improve articulation, giving the Hamma Hamma more flexibility for posing despite its bulky and unusual design.

The kit also includes the Hamma Hamma’s shield, which carries its own built-in power generator and additional weaponry. A beam saber can be fitted onto the shield, while its movable rail gimmick recreates the deployment of the mobile suit’s naval mines.

The accessory lineup includes a beam saber, shield, arm extension parts, an arm extension base, four lead wires, and stickers.

For a mobile suit that has spent years waiting for a modern 1/144 scale release, the Hamma Hamma is finally getting its turn in the HG series. With movable claws, a movable mono-eye, pull-out articulation, detachable wired arms, and a shield that can deploy naval mines, this is shaping up to be a seriously fun kit to pose and display.

Sometimes the weirdest mobile suits are the ones that make the best GunPla, and the Hamma Hamma has certainly waited long enough to prove it.

MGSD 00 Raiser - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:27:14 -0400

MGSD 00 Raiser

Release: March 2027

Price: 6,050 yen

The next mobile suit joining the MGSD lineup is ready to fire up its Twin Drive System. Bandai has officially revealed the MGSD 00 Raiser, bringing one of Mobile Suit Gundam 00’s most popular mobile suits into the Master Grade SD series.

The GN-0000 00 Gundam was Celestial Being’s first mobile suit equipped with the Twin Drive System, using two original GN Drives synchronized to generate an enormous amount of GN Particle output. The system was incredibly powerful, but it came with one major problem. The 00 could not fully stabilize the Twin Drive System on its own, especially when activating Trans-Am.

That is where the 0 Raiser came in.

Designed as a dedicated support machine for the 00, the 0 Raiser could dock with the Gundam to form 00 Raiser, stabilizing the Twin Drive System and allowing its full performance to be unleashed. The combination was so powerful that its capabilities went beyond what had previously been expected from a Gundam.

Now, 00 Raiser is getting the MGSD treatment, combining its recognizable design with the dense mechanical detail and articulation that have become a major part of the series.

The kit recreates the combination between the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser while using MGSD’s unique frame structure to reproduce internal mechanical detail within its SD proportions. The result is a compact kit that still aims for a wide range of movement across its various parts.

The shoulder-mounted GN Drives also feature MGSD-original gimmicks. They can rotate and expose their clear parts, adding extra mechanical movement to one of the 00 Gundam’s most recognizable features.

The 0 Raiser gets some special treatment too, with a reflection-cut exposure gimmick that adds another layer of detail to its clear parts.

Even the smaller lens components have been given plenty of attention. Parts such as the GN capacitors feature precise molded details, including engraved lettering.

As for its equipment, the MGSD 00 Raiser comes loaded with two GN Sword IIs, the massive GN Sword III, two GN Shields, and two GN Beam Sabers. Dedicated beam effect parts are included for both the GN Sword II and GN Sword III.

The GN Sword II and GN Shield also feature their own connection gimmick, allowing the equipment to be displayed in its combined configuration.

With its transforming and combining 0 Raiser, detailed internal frame, MGSD-exclusive GN Drive gimmicks, and a full loadout of equipment, the MGSD 00 Raiser is shaping up to be another packed release for the series.

And with Mobile Suit Gundam 00 celebrating its 20th anniversary, 00 Raiser is arriving at a pretty perfect time.

RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type - Release Info

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:26:07 -0400

RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type

Release: February 2027

Price: 4,620 yen

Thirty years after Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team first arrived, the Gundam Ground Type is finally joining the Real Grade lineup.

But this announcement has been a long time coming.

The RG Gundam Ground Type was first teased back in 2012 during GunPla Expo World Tour 2012 Japan, where it appeared in a concept image alongside other potential additions to the Real Grade series. For years, the idea remained just that. Now, 14 years later, the Ground Type has finally received its proper RG announcement.

The timing could not be better, with 2026 marking the 30th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team.

The RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type was one of the Earth Federation's early mobile suits developed as part of its mass-production plans. Built using surplus parts from the RX-78 program, it was designed specifically for combat under Earth's gravity. Space-use equipment and the Core Block System were removed, resulting in a lighter mobile suit capable of rivaling the RX-78's performance in ground combat.

For its Real Grade debut, the Gundam Ground Type and its extensive arsenal are completely newly molded, packing the mobile suit with the detailed mechanical design that the RG series is known for.

The frame structure in the waist and legs is also designed to recreate some of the Ground Type's familiar poses from the anime, including crouching positions and firing stances.

The chest features an opening mechanism that reveals the Vulcan cannons, while the cockpit hatch can also be opened. The leg-mounted saber racks are fully functional as well, allowing the racks to open and close while the beam sabers can be attached or removed.

The backpack-mounted weapon container is getting plenty of attention too. It can be suspended from the back of the Gundam Ground Type and posed in a raised or lowered position. The container also features a locking mechanism, while its internal seat moves in conjunction with the opening and closing gimmick.

Builders will also have the option of assembling the head antenna in either white or yellow.

As for its equipment, the RG Gundam Ground Type comes loaded with its 100mm machine gun, 180mm cannon, rocket launcher, two beam sabers, shield, and weapon container. Dedicated ground effect parts are also included for displaying the shield in a ground combat scene.

The kit will also include interchangeable hand parts, foil stickers, and Realistic Decals.

After waiting 14 years to see that original concept become reality, the Gundam Ground Type is finally ready to deploy in the Real Grade lineup. And as The 08th MS Team celebrates its 30th anniversary, this feels like one announcement that was definitely worth the wait.

New MGEX GunPla Teased Ahead of August 25 Big Reveal

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:37:21 -0400

A brand-new MGEX GunPla is on the way, and Bandai is keeping us guessing for just a little longer.

A mysterious teaser has appeared ahead of the upcoming BANDAI HOBBY new product announcement livestream, scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 8:00 PM JST, confirming that the next addition to the Master Grade Extreme lineup will be revealed during the broadcast.

For now, Bandai has only given us a small clue.

The teaser image features a purple background with flashes of yellow in the middle, while the MGEX logo sits front and center. Naturally, it has sent us straight into detective mode as we try to figure out which mobile suit is getting the next Master Grade Extreme treatment.

The MGEX line is one of Bandai's most ambitious GunPla series, with each release built around a specific "Extreme Point" that pushes a particular aspect of GunPla engineering and presentation. The previous MGEX releases have explored themes including Extreme Point: Light with the Unicorn Gundam, Extreme Point: Metallic Expression with Strike Freedom Gundam, and other high-end approaches to materials, construction, and mechanical detail.

So the big question is not just which mobile suit is coming next, but also what new "Extreme" concept Bandai has planned for it.

With the reveal happening tomorrow, the guessing game is officially on.

What do you think the next MGEX will be?

The life-size RX-0 Unicorn Gundam statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza is preparing for its final stand.

TWC FINAL recreates the statue's farewell design, complete with exclusive decorations by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki.

This release captures the special version of the Unicorn Gundam created for its final days at DiverCity, giving fans a chance to own a huge 1/48 scale version of the design.

After War Gundam X FLASH Manga Begins Serialization This August as Garrod and Tiffa's Journey Continues

noreply@blogger.com (GUNDAM KITS COLLECTION) — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 19:53:40 -0400

Fans of After War Gundam X have something new to look forward to as a brand-new sequel side-story manga is set to begin serialization later this month.

Titled After War Gundam X FLASH, the manga by Koichi Tokita will begin serialization in the October 2026 issue of Monthly Gundam Ace, which goes on sale in Japan on August 26, 2026. Ahead of its debut, a two-page spread from the first chapter has also been revealed, offering an early look at the upcoming story.

The new manga is set in the world of After War Gundam X and will tell a new story within its After War timeline. It also serves as a continuation of After War Gundam X NEXT PROLOGUE "If I'm With You", the follow-up manga released in 2018 that continued Garrod and Tiffa's journey.

For Tokita, FLASH marks another return to a series he has been connected with since its original run. He previously worked on the Gundam X manga that was serialized alongside the television broadcast, and now he is returning to the series with an entirely new story.

The timing is also pretty fitting. After War Gundam X is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, and FLASH will become part of the series' anniversary year with its debut in Monthly Gundam Ace.

The preview pages only offer a small glimpse at what lies ahead, so fans will have to wait until the October 2026 issue arrives to see how the next chapter of After War Gundam X unfolds.
