Bandai Spirits is launching a new Gundam figure brand called ABSOLUTE ACT, built around the ABSOLUTE ACTION SYSTEM for articulation. The first entry is the Strike Freedom Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, which received its world first display at TOKYO Toy Show 2026, running from August 27 to August 30, 2026. The approximately 185mm tall ABS/PVC figure features movable mechanisms in the neck, shoulders, and waist, plus a waist rail mechanism and shoulder pull-out mechanism for dynamic posing. It includes a high-energy beam rifle, two beam sabers, a connected saber handle, two beam shields, interchangeable wrist parts, and a base with a bendable support rod. Reservations begin August 27, 2026, at general retail stores, with release scheduled for March 2027 at 16,500 yen including tax. TOKYO Toy Show 2026's first two days are trade-only, with public access on August 29 and 30. The show also featured other Gundam items at the Bandai Spirits booth, including Gundam Miximize Gundam Zero and HG 1/144 Gundam Zero.
TOKYO Toy Show 2026, held August 27 through 30 at the Bandai Spirits booth, served as the world first display venue for the ABSOLUTE ACT Strike Freedom Gundam. The show also featured the Gundam Miximize Gundam Zero, METAL ROBOT Spirits Gundam Double X, and HG 1/144 Gundam Helix from Bandai Spirits, while other manufacturers displayed items from Kamen Rider, Tamagotchi, Godzilla, and Sanrio lines.
The figure's sculpting is arranged so shading changes with lighting and viewing angle, and molded colors carry most of the finish with gold paint accents. The legs use single-axis movement to avoid elongation when knees bend, and flexible ankles improve ground contact for spread-leg poses. Reservations at general retail open the same day as the show's start, August 27.
