The campaign offers fans a chance to revisit some of their favorite moments from Gundam X while searching for the posters during trips around Japan. The locations will be announced gradually through the official Gundam X account, so fans will need to keep an eye out for new announcements.

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, the new action game introduces an original Gundam timeline centered around humanity's fight 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 specifically to assist the mobile suit.
After nine years in Odaiba, the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue has officially reached its final farewell.
The Final Ceremony was held at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza on August 29 at 7:30 p.m., just two days before the statue’s exhibition officially comes to an end on August 31. The event was also livestreamed through the official Gundam Channel, allowing fans around the world to watch the final ceremony.
Bandai is bringing the RX-78-2 Gundam to the Exceed Model series with a clever three-part design that puts the mobile suit's exterior, internal structure, and Core Fighter cockpit on display.
The Exceed Model Trinity RX-78-2 Gundam Cable + Light Unit Set contains three separate types, and collectors need all three to complete the full Gundam bust.
The system introduces dedicated movable mechanisms throughout the neck, shoulders, and waist, allowing the Strike Freedom Gundam to take on a wide range of dynamic action poses. The figure’s sculpt has also been developed with movement in mind, with proportions and articulation designed to support more expressive posing without sacrificing its iconic appearance.
For the Gundam Mk-II, that means much more than a few opening panels.
The high quality figure features a Full Maintenance Mode, where armor sections across the body can open to reveal the Gundam Mk-II's famous Movable Frame. The chest can jack upward to expose the spherical cockpit, while the leg armor opens to reveal an internal frame that can extend and retract. The thruster port frames even move along with the mechanism.
Following the announcement of Sakura Miko’s special Nu Gundam, Bandai has also revealed the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Sazabi [Hoshimachi Suisei Ver.], another special release from the new GUNDAM x hololive production collaboration.
This time, the mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack takes inspiration from hololive star Hoshimachi Suisei, giving Char’s iconic Sazabi a special collaboration color scheme along with exclusive markings on its shield and other parts.
Bandai has announced a special collaboration between Mobile Suit Gundam and hololive production, giving the legendary Nu Gundam a brand-new look inspired by hololive’s popular virtual idol, Sakura Miko.
The result is the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Nu Gundam [Sakura Miko Ver.], and it is certainly not the usual white-and-blue mobile suit that Amuro Ray piloted in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack.
The G-Controller is returning as a new high-end PROPLICA collectible, complete with lights, sounds, vibration effects, newly recorded dialogue, music, and multiple interactive modes.
For fans who have visited the statue over the years, this one feels a little different. August 29 will not just be another Gundam event. It will be the final send-off for one of the franchise's most recognizable real-world landmarks.
The Unicorn Gundam may be leaving Odaiba, but at least it looks like it is getting one hell of a goodbye.
After War Gundam X is getting a new manga sequel, with After War Gundam X FLASH set to begin serialization in Japan later this month.
Created by Koichi Tokita, the new sequel side-story manga will debut in the October 2026 issue of Monthly Gundam Ace, scheduled to go on sale on August 26, 2026. Ahead of its serialization, a two-page spread from the first chapter has been revealed, offering fans an early look at the new story.
Set in the After War timeline, After War Gundam X FLASH will continue from After War Gundam X NEXT PROLOGUE "If I'm With You", the follow-up manga released in 2018. The new series will continue the journey of Garrod Ran and Tiffa Adill as their story moves forward.
The Hazel-Rah Second Form is equipped with two FF-X29A G-Parts [Hrududu] units, developed as enhancement equipment for the RX-121-1 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Custom]. The Hrududu can connect to the Hazel Custom's backpack joint, multi-weapon latch, and waist side armor, allowing the mobile suit to take on its heavily equipped configuration.
This form features a total of four binder-like wing units. Two thruster wing units mounted on the backpack provide additional propulsion, while two claw wing units attached to the waist are used to carry and control its weapons.
The upcoming live-action Gundam movie will take place within the Universal Century timeline, according to star Noah Centineo.
Centineo recently appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, where he discussed the upcoming live-action adaptation.
During the interview, Centineo revealed that the film will be canon to Gundam's original anime universe and will take place within the Universal Century, the timeline centered around the conflict between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon.
Tomino specifically pointed to CG, saying it has become a convenient tool that allows objects to be easily copied or moved. He feels some anime and films focus too heavily on showing off CG simply because it was created, rather than using it to support the story.
The timing is especially interesting with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO on the horizon. The upcoming project will explore events leading up to the theatrical release of SEED FREEDOM, offering fans another reason to revisit the Cosmic Era as the original Gundam SEED celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The series arrived with a fresh take on Gundam, introducing a future set in the Anno Domini timeline and a story centered around Celestial Being’s intervention in global conflicts. It also brought a distinctive lineup of mobile suits that quickly became some of the most recognizable designs of its generation.
The One Year War has been explored from countless perspectives across the Gundam franchise, and one Futabasha MOOK brings many of those stories and details together in one place.
Futabasha's Want to Know More! Mobile Suit Gundam is a 112-page B5 MOOK that brings together information on the story, characters, and mobile suits featured throughout the early Universal Century era of Gundam. The book was released in Japan on August 18, 2025, and is priced at ¥1,760.
Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the legendary artist and director behind Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN, sat down with Look Back director Kiyotaka Oshiyama for a fascinating conversation about animation, drawing, artistic individuality, and the future of hand-drawn animation.
The special dialogue, titled “Why Do We Continue to Draw? ‘Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN’ and ‘Look Back,’” was held on July 20 at the Tendo City Museum of Art in Yamagata as part of the ongoing “Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the Artist” exhibition.
In a new interview with Variety, director Kenji Kamiyama opened up about the ideas behind the upcoming Gundam series, revealing that the alien threat at the heart of the story was designed as a metaphor for humanity’s increasingly complicated relationship with technology, including artificial intelligence.
For anyone who has visited Odaiba over the years, seeing the Unicorn Gundam standing outside DiverCity has probably become one of those memories that feels inseparable from visiting Tokyo. Soon, those familiar nighttime shows, transformation sequences, and massive RX-0 towering over the plaza will become memories of their own.
If you thought the classic Mobile Suit Gundam opening could not get any more fun, moshibass has something to say about that.
The iconic opening theme “Fly! Gundam” has been given a seriously fun Otamatone treatment, with moshibass arranging and performing the song entirely on Regular Otamatones. The result is surprisingly catchy and somehow feels right at home with the wonderfully weird sound of the Otamatone.
Mobile Suit Gundam has invaded the world of Otamatone with a special collection featuring the RX-78-2 Gundam, Char’s Zaku II, and Haro, now available through Hamee.com. And honestly, seeing the legendary Gundam turned into an adorable musical toy is something we probably did not have on our Universal Century bingo cards.
The countdown to the end of the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue has officially begun, and Bandai Namco is giving fans one final spectacular show before the iconic statue leaves DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.
Gundam's 50th anniversary celebration is getting a whole lot bigger.
Bandai Namco has announced that the first lottery for admission tickets to GUNDAM-Con 2027 SIDE MAKUHARI will open on August 28, 2026, giving fans their first chance to attend what is shaping up to be one of the biggest Gundam events ever held in Japan.
The three-day celebration will take place at Makuhari Messe in Chiba from January 9 to January 11, 2027, bringing together GunPla, games, cards, figures, anime, creators and plenty more under one roof.
Ever wondered what it would be like to sleep inside the RX-78-2 Gundam's iconic shield?
STRICT-G and NANGA have apparently answered that very specific question.
TAMASHII NATION 2026 will take place from November 13 to 15, 2026, across Belle Salle Akihabara 1F/B1F Event Hall, Akihabara UDX 2F AKIBA SQUARE, and the TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO in Akihabara.
Alongside the event itself, Bandai has revealed two special Gundam commemorative figures that will headline this year's lineup: the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS Destiny Gundam Spec II Final Battle Ver. and METAL BUILD God Gundam [Meikyō Shisui].
The P-Bandai HGUC 1/144 Ground Type Gundam [Parachute Pack Ver.] is returning in February 2027 as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team.
The MS-07H-8 Gouf Flight Type was developed to solve one of Zeon's major problems during its Earth invasion: the slow deployment of mobile suits across the battlefield. Early attempts at aerial mobile suits ended with the destruction of the MS-07H-4 Gouf Flight Test Type and the death of its pilot, 2nd Lt. Frank Bernard. Although the program was officially terminated, engineers at Side 3 continued the research and eventually developed the MS-07H-8 with practical flight capability.
Based on the Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN MSD (Mobile Suits Discovery) design, the MS-06RD-4 was first seen in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. This experimental mobile suit was developed through a top-secret collaboration between Zeonic and Zimmad under the Principality of Zeon's military, with its development focused on testing a Zaku-based mobile suit for space combat.
Bandai Spirits is set to release the MGSD Kshatriya on September 26, 2026, bringing Marida Cruz’s iconic mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn into the MGSD lineup. The kit will be priced at ¥7,700 including tax.
The release includes the RGM-79N GM Custom in its standard color scheme alongside the RB-79 Ball Modified Type. The two kits were originally released together as a Premium Bandai set and are now returning in a reissue.
The set originally arrived in 2013 and features newly molded parts for both Ball variants. The Ball Type K features its distinctive arms, boosters, winch, and headlights associated with Shiro Amada's Ball in The 08th MS Team. The Shark Mouth Ball features specialized parts and its distinctive shark mouth design seen in MS IGLOO.
Several of Graze Ein’s signature features have been built into the kit. The head face guard can open and close, while interchangeable main camera parts and plastic stickers allow builders to recreate different expressions.
Fourteen years is a long time in GunPla, and the evolution of the RG Gundam Ground Type shows just how far Bandai's design and engineering have come.
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 PG UNLEASHED 1/60 Nu Gundam Fin Funnel & Clear Color Body includes a full set of clear exterior parts designed to reveal the intricate mechanical structure underneath. Multiple clear molded colors are used across the body and weapons, giving the already highly detailed PG UNLEASHED kit a completely new look.
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 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam is officially joining the MGEX lineup, taking one of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom’s most powerful mobile suits into the Master Grade Extreme 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.
The MGEX series has become one of Bandai's premium GunPla lines, with each release built around a particular concept or "Extreme Point." The line has previously explored dramatic lighting effects with the MGEX Unicorn Gundam and highly detailed metallic expression with the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam.
The broadcast promises plenty of new Gunpla information, including news related to upcoming events. Most importantly, Bandai is teasing brand-new product information that will make its debut during the program.
The ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] will be released on August 29, 2026, featuring a special limited-edition package inspired by traditional Japanese woodblock prints. The release also includes a new sheet of Japanese-style stickers, giving one of the most recognizable mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED a distinctly different presentation.
Bandai Hobby is releasing the ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Wing Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] on August 29, 2026. The special edition gives the popular Gunpla a newly designed package inspired by ukiyo-e, Japan's traditional woodblock print art, along with a sheet of Japanese-style stickers.
Bandai Hobby is releasing the ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] on August 29, 2026, giving the classic Gunpla a special limited-edition package inspired by ukiyo-e, Japan's famous traditional woodblock print art.
The Ver.GCP version includes the special landing gear parts created for the Shanghai statue, allowing the Freedom Gundam to recreate its distinctive standing display pose. It also includes dedicated open hand parts, another addition designed specifically for reproducing the statue's appearance.
As the life-size RX-0 Unicorn Gundam statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza prepares to leave its longtime home on August 31, its special Ver. TWC FINAL design is getting a massive GunPla release.
The Mega Size Model 1/48 Gundam Base Limited RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Ver. TWC FINAL recreates the statue's farewell appearance, featuring exclusive decorations by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki. The kit also retains details inspired by the actual life-size Unicorn Gundam statue, including the backpack vernier molding.
From Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, the HG 1/144 Gustav Karl Type 00 (Commander's Unit) is joining the GunPla lineup with its distinctive commander unit design and equipment.
The kit recreates the Gustav Karl Type 00's unique head, complete with its asymmetrical blade antenna. It also includes a newly designed long-barreled beam rifle based on its appearance in the film.
Bandai Hobby has announced that it will begin sharing new plastic model information starting August 26, 2026.
The HOBBY NEW ITEM INFO. announcement states that Bandai Hobby will sequentially share information on new products scheduled for release between January and March 2027.
The MSN-04FF Sazabi was designed for the special video presentation accompanying the life-size RX-93ff ν Gundam statue at GUNDAM SIDE-F in Fukuoka. Unlike the standard Sazabi, this version is equipped with a pair of massive Double Horn Funnels, giving Char Aznable’s mobile suit a completely different look.
Originally released at The Gundam Base in Japan in August 2022, this limited edition combines the MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam Ver.RM with the Launcher Striker, Sword Striker, and the Grand Slam sword.
The Ver.GCP version was created to reproduce the life-size Freedom Gundam statue in Shanghai, China, which opened at Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Shanghai Jinqiao in 2021 as part of the Gundam China Project. Bandai developed the GunPla with new molds to capture details from the massive statue.
Following the reveal of the HGAW 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron, Bandai Spirits has now unveiled the HGAW 1/144 Gundam Virsago, bringing Shagia Frost's intimidating mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam X into a new High Grade kit.
The Gundam Virsago is scheduled for release in October 2026 for 3,190 yen.
Another After War Gundam X favorite is joining the modern HG GunPla lineup.
The HGAW 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron is officially coming in November 2026, bringing Olba Frost's massive mobile suit back with a completely new HG release.
Priced at 3,960 yen, the kit focuses heavily on the Gundam Ashtaron's signature gimmicks, especially those enormous Atomic Scissors.
The Gundam Leopard is finally getting its turn in the modern HG GunPla lineup, and this one is bringing enough firepower to make sure nobody forgets it.
The HGAW 1/144 Gundam Leopard is scheduled for release in August 2026, arriving as part of the celebration surrounding the 30th anniversary of After War Gundam X.
Priced at 2,420 yen, the new kit recreates the heavy-firepower Gundam with a range of weapons and gimmicks that should make it a pretty fun addition to the HG lineup.
Another classic Zeon mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is heading back to Premium Bandai.
The HGUC 1/144 Gelgoog [Unicorn Ver.] is getting a reissue in October 2026, giving Gundam fans another chance to pick up the Sleeves version of the iconic mobile suit.
Originally released in May 2017 for 1,836 yen, the reissue will be priced at 2,090 yen.
Fans who missed out on the HGUC ReGelgu from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn are getting another chance to add this purple and dark blue Zeon mobile suit to their GunPla collection.
Premium Bandai is reissuing the HGUC 1/144 MS-14J ReGelgu [Unicorn Ver.], complete with its Sleeves markings and equipment from the OVA.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF GUNDAM
Released as the prologue to the Mobile Suit Gundam 50th Anniversary: Road to 50 project, A Boy With Gundam is a heartfelt tribute that follows one fan's journey from childhood to adulthood, showing how Gundam's stories are passed from one generation to the next.
It is a reminder that Gundam is more than just mobile suits. It is about the memories, friendships, and inspiration that have connected fans for decades.
Here's to 50 years of Gundam, and the road ahead.
Now, the Enhanced ZZ Gundam is joining the METAL ROBOT SPIRITS (Ka signature) lineup under the supervision of Hajime Katoki. The figure stands approximately 150mm tall and uses die-cast metal in key areas, including the joints, alongside detailed sculpting and coloring.
