Japanese traditional art and iconic mobile suits come together in a stylish new Gunpla release from BANDAI SPIRITS.

All three kits are scheduled for release on August 29, 2026, making this a fun lineup for Gunpla builders who enjoy unique packaging, Japanese aesthetics, and easy-to-build models.
What Makes the ENTRY GRADE Ukiyo-e Package Ver. Special?
The Ukiyo-e Package Ver. is based on existing ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Gunpla kits, but adds a distinctive new presentation. Each release comes with a newly designed ukiyo-e-style package and new Japanese-pattern stickers.
The concept is especially interesting because it combines two very different sides of Japanese pop culture: traditional ukiyo-e-inspired visual design and modern Gundam plastic models.
The kits also retain the approachable ENTRY GRADE building experience. Their touch-gate construction allows many parts to be removed from the runners without traditional plastic nippers, while smart part separation provides good color reproduction straight from the box.
Visual cue: Look closely at the package artwork and stickers for Japanese-inspired elements such as waves, Mount Fuji, and cherry blossoms.
ENTRY GRADE RX-78-2 Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.]
Grade: Entry Grade (EG)
Scale: 1/144
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam
Release Date: August 29, 2026
The classic RX-78-2 Gundam gets the Ukiyo-e treatment first. Based on the ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam, this version keeps the kit’s beginner-friendly construction while adding the special packaging and Japanese-pattern sticker sheet.
The RX-78-2 also maintains the strong articulation that makes the ENTRY GRADE version enjoyable for dynamic poses. Its color separation is designed to reproduce much of the Gundam’s appearance through assembly alone.
ENTRY GRADE Wing Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.]
Grade: Entry Grade (EG)
Scale: 1/144
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Release Date: August 29, 2026
From Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, the Wing Gundam receives the same special Ukiyo-e-inspired treatment.
This ENTRY GRADE model is designed around a relatively low part count while still offering impressive articulation. The kit includes its iconic Buster Rifle and Shield, while the new Japanese-pattern stickers add another visual option for builders who want to personalize the finished model.
ENTRY GRADE Strike Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.]
Grade: Entry Grade (EG)
Scale: 1/144
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
Release Date: August 29, 2026
The Strike Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED completes the trio. Like the other two releases, this special version adds a new ukiyo-e package design and Japanese-pattern stickers to the ENTRY GRADE kit.
The Strike Gundam features extensive articulation, easy-to-understand runner organization, and parts designed to reproduce its colors without requiring painting. The kit also includes the Beam Rifle and Shield.

Traditional Japanese Art Meets Gunpla
ENTRY GRADE has become one of the easiest ways to experience Gunpla without committing to a complicated build. These Ukiyo-e Package Ver. releases add something extra: collectible presentation.
For beginners, they offer an accessible introduction to Gunpla. For experienced builders, the kits provide quick builds that can also become excellent bases for customization, weathering, panel lining, or display.
The special packaging is another major attraction. Instead of simply being another color variation, the Ukiyo-e concept gives the lineup a distinctive Japanese identity that can look great both inside and outside a Gunpla collection.
Visual cue: Displaying all three boxes together could create a particularly striking shelf setup because the lineup connects Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Gundam SEED through a shared Japanese-art-inspired presentation.
Final Thoughts
The ENTRY GRADE Ukiyo-e Package Ver. lineup is a clever combination of traditional Japanese-inspired aesthetics and modern Gunpla design. RX-78-2 Gundam represents the classic Gundam era, Wing Gundam brings the Gundam Wing style, and Strike Gundam represents Gundam SEED—all presented under one distinctive Ukiyo-e concept.
With all three kits arriving on August 29, 2026, this lineup offers an easy way to add something visually different to a Gunpla collection. Whether you are starting with your first ENTRY GRADE or simply looking for unique Gundam packaging and display pieces, these Ukiyo-e versions are worth keeping an eye on.
