HG 1/144 Gundam Virsago
Release Date: October 31, 2026
Grade: High Grade (HG)
Scale: 1/144
Series: After War Gundam X
The HG 1/144 Gundam Virsago brings one of the distinctive mobile suits from After War Gundam X into the modern High Grade lineup. Piloted by Shagia Frost, this mobile suit is known for its striking red armor, long arms, and devastating Mega Sonic Cannon.
The new HG kit focuses on recreating the machine’s signature combat features while offering the articulation expected from a modern 1/144-scale model kit.
Key Features:
- Extendable Strike Claw gimmick to recreate its long-reaching attacks.
- Deployable abdominal section for the Mega Sonic Cannon firing pose.
- Connecting gimmick for the Strike Shooter equipment.
- Detailed color separation and articulation for dynamic action poses.
Why Build It?
Gundam Virsago is an appealing choice for builders looking to expand their After War Gundam X collection beyond the more familiar Gundam designs. Its unusual silhouette and mechanical details also make it an interesting subject for panel lining, weathering, and custom paint projects.
With its combination of recognizable anime features and updated HG engineering, this release is worth watching for both longtime Gundam X collectors and Gunpla builders who enjoy distinctive mobile suits.
MG 1/100 Gundam Mk-V (Federation Color) — Premium Bandai
Release Date: October 2026
Grade: Master Grade (MG)
Scale: 1/100
Series: Gundam Sentinel
ORDER HERE
The MG 1/100 Gundam Mk-V (Federation Color) offers a different look for the imposing mobile suit from Gundam Sentinel. Unlike the familiar blue color scheme, this Premium Bandai edition recreates its predominantly white Federation rollout colors.
The color variation gives the large mobile suit a fresh appearance, while its extensive weapon loadout and mechanical details remain major highlights of the Master Grade format.
Key Features:
- Federation-style rollout color scheme with predominantly white armor.
- Newly designed beam rifle exclusive to this version.
- INCOM remote weapons and missile pods.
- Beam cannons, shield, and other signature armaments.
- Water-slide decals for additional markings and surface details.
Why Build It?
The Gundam Mk-V is a substantial mobile suit with an imposing silhouette, making it an excellent centerpiece for a 1/100-scale collection. Its large armor sections and numerous weapons offer plenty of opportunities for detailed panel lining, painting, and display customization.
For builders who already own the original blue MG Gundam Mk-V, the Federation Color version provides a visually distinct alternative. It is also an interesting pick for collectors who appreciate the mechanical designs of Gundam Sentinel.
As a Premium Bandai release, availability can be more limited than standard retail Gunpla. Check the retailer listing for current stock and shipping information.
RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (Keroro Ver.) — Premium Bandai
Release Date: October 2026

Scale: 1/144
Series: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam / Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunsou) crossover
The RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (Keroro Ver.) adds a playful twist to a classic mobile suit. Inspired by Keroro from Sgt. Frog, this special version gives the iconic Gundam Mk-II a distinctive color scheme based on the mischievous frog-like alien.
Unlike a standard Gundam Mk-II release, this crossover edition combines the Real Grade format’s detailed construction with a fun design that stands out in any Gunpla collection.
Key Features:
- Keroro-inspired color scheme reproduced through colored plastic parts.
- Real Grade-level detail at 1/144 scale.
- Special original marking stickers for the Keroro version.

This release is particularly appealing to collectors who enjoy both Gundam and Sgt. Frog. It offers something different from conventional military-style mobile suit designs without abandoning the detailed appearance associated with the RG line.
Since this is a Premium Bandai exclusive, international availability may depend on retailer allocations and remaining stock.
