Among the most interesting upcoming releases are the MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam, MGSD 00 Raiser, and RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type. Each kit represents a different side of modern Gunpla engineering, from high-end 1/100 detailing to compact MGSD proportions and the highly detailed Real Grade format.
Here is everything currently known about these three 2027 Gunpla releases.
MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam
Grade: Master Grade Extreme (MGEX)
Scale: 1/100
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM
Release Date: March 2027
Price: ¥26,400 (tax included)
The MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam is easily one of the biggest Gunpla announcements for 2027. Based on the mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, this premium MGEX kit takes the Mighty Strike Freedom design into Bandai’s high-end 1/100 scale lineup.
The kit is scheduled for March 2027 with a Japanese retail price of ¥26,400 including tax. It will be the third major release in the MGEX line, following the MGEX Unicorn Gundam and MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam.
One of its biggest highlights is the use of Mechanical Core Plating, designed to give the internal frame a layered metallic appearance. The gold-colored inner frame and detailed Proud Defender backpack should make this kit particularly impressive when displayed from the rear.
The Proud Defender also features an elaborate transformation and deployment mechanism, while the wings reveal additional internal details during deployment.
MGSD 00 Raiser
Grade: Master Grade SD (MGSD)
Scale: No Scale
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Release Date: March 2027
Price: ¥6,050 (tax included)
The MGSD 00 Raiser brings one of the most recognizable mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 into Bandai MGSD lineup.
Scheduled for March 2027, the kit is priced at ¥6,050 including tax. Unlike conventional MG kits, MGSD combines the compact proportions of Super Deformed designs with engineering inspired by Master Grade Gunpla.
The 00 Raiser features a highly detailed internal frame despite its smaller SD-style proportions. Bandai is also incorporating modern color separation and reflective techniques, including REFLECTION CUT technology for the clear parts.
The kit is expected to include major weapons such as the GN Sword II, GN Sword III, GN Shield, and GN Beam Sabers, along with an effect part for recreating the iconic Raiser Sword. The shoulder GN Drives also feature a linked opening mechanism.
The timing is particularly interesting because 2027 marks the 20th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, making this release a natural centerpiece for the celebration.
RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type
Grade: Real Grade (RG)
Scale: 1/144
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team
Release Date: February 2027
Price: ¥4,620 (tax included)
For builders who prefer realistic proportions and compact 1/144 scale engineering, the RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type is one of the most exciting announcements.
Taken from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, the Ground Type is finally getting the Real Grade treatment. Bandai Spirits has announced a February 2027 release with a Japanese retail price of ¥4,620.
The RG version focuses heavily on recreating the mobile suit’s distinctive ground-combat equipment and action poses. One of the major features demonstrated with the prototype is the ability to reproduce the famous 180mm Cannon firing pose, including a convincing kneeling position.
The kit will also feature a deployable container mechanism and a dedicated stand for supporting the shield.
For fans of The 08th MS Team, this could be especially appealing because the Ground Type has been waiting a long time for a modern high-detail interpretation in the RG format.
