As December 2025 rolls around, the Gunpla world is buzzing with the release of some very exciting High Grade kits. This month’s lineup features three standout 1/144 scale kits from two different Gundam universes — perfect for both collectors and builders alike.
HG 1/144 White Gundam
This White Gundam is the lead mobile suit from the series Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX — now faithfully recreated in an HG 1/144 plastic model kit. The kit promises sharp, anime-accurate proportions and clean color separation, meaning minimal painting is needed.
The build offers fluid articulation, allowing for dynamic posing — especially at the shoulders, waist, and torso. Accessories include a new Hyper Bazooka mold, and the kit is designed with shield-mount compatibility on both arm and backpack.
Includes:
- Weapon ×1 set
- Hand parts ×1
- Marking stickers ×1
- Stickers ×1
Release Date: December 2025
Price: ¥2,420
HG 1/144 Char’s Zaku (GQ)
This is a reimagined version of the classic red Zaku associated with Char Aznable, reworked into the timeline of GQuuuuuuX. It features updated proportions, modern articulation, and improved internal frame/structure typical of contemporary HG kits.
The kit’s design strikes a good balance between nostalgia (for classic Zaku fans) and modern Gunpla engineering — making it a solid pick for both collectors and custom-build enthusiasts.
Includes:
- Weapon ×1 set
- Hand parts ×1
- Marking stickers ×1
Release Date: December 2025
Price: ¥2,420
HG 1/144 Gundam Zagan
Full Name: HG 1/144 ASW-G-61 Gundam Zagan (from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans: Urdr Hunt)
The Gundam Zagan kit brings to life the ASW-G-61 from Urdr Hunt, complete with its distinctive “Shield Pliers Unit.” The model reproduces this deployment gimmick with movable axes across various arm joints, allowing for flexible posing and dramatic display options.
For mobility and articulation, the kit includes ball-joint axes on shoulders and arms, and the front shoulder armor is independently movable to maximize arm range.
Given its higher complexity and distinctive design, Gundam Zagan is positioned as a standout piece for fans of the Iron-Blooded Orphans universe — and definitely a must-have for collectors who enjoy more unique and battle-ready mobile suits.
Accessories:
- 1 set × hand parts
- Seal × 1
Release Date: December 2025
Price: ¥3,080
Why December 2025 Is a Great Month for Gunpla Collectors
- The mix of kits spans different Gundam universes (GQuuuuuuX and Iron-Blooded Orphans), giving variety for fans with different tastes.
- All three kits are High Grade 1/144 — a scale and grade that balances price, detail, and build complexity, making them accessible even for intermediate builders.
- Each kit brings something unique: classic nostalgia (Char’s Zaku), lead-suit appeal (White Gundam), and special gimmicks (Gundam Zagan’s shield clamps) — making them ideal for display, custom builds, or dioramas.
- Pre-order windows are already open or closing soon, so hobbyists who want first-run versions will want to act quickly.
Final Thoughts
December 2025’s Gunpla lineup offers something for nearly every kind of builder — from those just diving into the hobby to veteran collectors hunting for signature pieces. Whether you prefer classic red mono-eye mechs, anime-accurate Gundams from new series, or unique designs with special gimmicks, this month’s releases — HG 1/144 White Gundam, HG 1/144 Char’s Zaku (GQ), and HG 1/144 Gundam Zagan — deliver across the board.
