Bandai SPIRITS opens pre-orders for three HGUC model kits on Premium Bandai

BANDAI SPIRITS opened pre-orders on October 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. for three High Grade Universal Century model kits through the Premium Bandai online store, with shipping scheduled for February 2027.

Pre-Order Launch for Premium Bandai Model Kits

The re-released lineup features three mobile suits drawn from classic Gundam video game titles, including the HGUC 1/144 Gundam Pixy and the HGUC 1/144 Ifrit from the game Mobile Suit Gundam Cross Dimension 0079, alongside the HGUC 1/144 Ifrit Kai from the title Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny.

Kit Details and Pricing for the October 15 Release

Priced at 2,530 yen including tax, the HGUC 1/144 Gundam Pixy features newly molded exterior parts across the head, chest, shoulder, and arm assemblies. Its equipment package includes two 90mm sub-machine guns and two beam daggers with slashing effect parts. The HGUC 1/144 Ifrit also retails for 2,530 yen, featuring a newly molded shoulder spike armor, a dedicated shotgun that shifts to a long form, and two heat sabers.

Priced slightly lower at 2,200 yen including tax, the HGUC 1/144 Ifrit Kai recreates the red personal colors of pilot Nimbus Schahzen. Based on the MS-08TX Ifrit, this version includes the modified leg assemblies, high-output thrusters, and a six-tube missile pod designed to house the EXAM system.

Bandai Restricts Model Kit Sales to Web Shop

None of these three re-released model kits are available through standard retail hobby store counters. BANDAI SPIRITS restricted purchases through the Premium Bandai web shop, applying quantity limits per buyer based on production capacity while warning that orders may close once initial stock allocation runs out.
