Bandai Reissues Three Gundam Game MS as HGUC Kits on Premium Bandai
The re-release moves three game-origin mobile suits back into print through Premium Bandai, the channel Bandai uses for limited-run kits, so buyers who missed the earlier HGUC releases get another window and the kits stay outside general model retailers.
Reporting from 1 source: Dengeki Hobby Web.
Bandai Spirits is re-releasing three HGUC 1/144 kits drawn from Gundam games: Gundam Pixy from Mobile Suit Gundam CROSS DIMENSION 0079, plus the Efreet and Efreet Custom from Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story THE BLUE DESTINY. Reservations open at 11:00 on Thursday, October 15, 2026 on Premium Bandai, with shipment scheduled for February 2027. Gundam Pixy is priced at 2,530 yen including tax.
The three kits come from two games rather than the TV series. Gundam Pixy is the protagonist machine of CROSS DIMENSION 0079, while the Efreet and Efreet Custom carry the rival role in THE BLUE DESTINY. Gundam Pixy uses newly sculpted exterior armor across the head, chest, shoulders, and arms, and ships with two 90mm sub-machine guns and two beam daggers plus slashing effect parts. The sub-machine gun's magazine can be swapped for a beam dagger hilt to form a bayonet state, and the kit is meant to be paired with the separately sold Efreet to recreate the game's duel.
