Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is in its 40th anniversary year, marked across Bandai's merchandise lines, from Premium Bandai figure lotteries and HG kits to STRICT-G apparel and a Tohato snack tie-in. The most recent releases are two THE KISS necklaces for Judau Ashta and Amuro Ray, open for reservation through November 24, 2026.
Bandai has spent the 40th anniversary year of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ turning the series into a merchandise line rather than a broadcast event. The push runs across figure, plastic model, apparel, and snack categories at once: METAL ROBOT Spirits and ROBOT Spirits releases, two HG 1/144 kits, FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #30, STRICT-G clothing and jewelry, and Gundam Poteko snack packaging.
The largest single thread is the METAL ROBOT Spirits (Ka signature) Enhanced ZZ Gundam, supervised by Hajime Katoki, priced at 26,400 yen, and scheduled to ship in June 2027. It has gone through a third preorder round and a third lottery, while the matching Full Armor Parts Set reached a second round at 13,200 yen. The ROBOT Spirits Quin Mantha ~Marking Plus~, supervised by Mika Akitaka, is a 260mm figure at 35,200 yen with March 2027 shipping.
Apparel has moved past printed T-shirts. STRICT-G released three 40th anniversary shirts at 6,600 yen and two aloha shirts at 16,500 yen, then added ALPHA INDUSTRIES outerwear: a Judau Ashta N-2B parka at 59,400 yen and an Amuro Ray leather flight jacket at 132,000 yen, both launching at STRICT-G stores on November 21, 2026. The newest items are THE KISS necklaces for Amuro Ray and Judau Ashta at 15,400 yen each, with orders through Premium Bandai until November 24, 2026 and shipping in February 2027.
Smaller tie-ins fill out the year: Gundam Poteko packaging renewed to Gundam ZZ on August 31, four collaboration fans with fan maker Nishikawa Shoroku Shoten, Niformation seal wafers in a 38-type lineup, and deformed robot merchandise at Sunrise World. A September 5 BANDAI SPIRITS teaser tied the anniversary to the TAMASHII NATIONS brand and drew fan predictions; the products announced afterward were the figures and kits above.
