BANDAI SPIRITS Hobby Division has put up the product page for HG 1/144 Gundam Helix, the protagonist machine from the game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT. The kit is scheduled for release in January 2027 at 2,750 yen including tax, and pre-orders open at stores and online starting October 15. Arm and leg flaps deploy, the sword has two forms, and the sword and rifle can mount on the backpack.
The kit is a 1/144 scale HG release of the protagonist machine, built for a range of articulation meant to recreate the game's action. Arm and leg flaps have deployment gimmicks, the sword reproduces two forms, and both the sword and rifle can be mounted on the backpack. Included accessories are one sword, one rifle, one backpack set, and one foil sticker. Bandai frames the release alongside other GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT products, so buyers can customize the kit the way the game handles customization.
