Bandai will release HG HUNTERxHUNTER Vol.1 in the fifth week of October 2026, priced at 500 yen (tax included) per play. The lineup has four figures: Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. Each figure stands about 7.9 cm tall and is posed holding equipment including fishing rods and yo-yos. Gashapon Bandai Official Shops and Gashapon Official Shop @ASAKUSA will start early sales on October 9, ahead of the general release. Bandai says the product will be shipped multiple times after the initial release. The announcement places the series inside Bandai's HG gashapon figure series, a line the company describes as sculpting details down to the finest points.
The four-figure set covers the main cast as a group rather than releasing characters one at a time. Gon carries a fishing rod and Killua carries a yo-yo in the miniature sculpts, matching equipment the characters use in the story. The set is priced at a single per-play rate of 500 yen with tax included, the standard format for capsule machine goods.
Sales split into two dates. Gashapon Bandai Official Shops and the Gashapon Official Shop @ASAKUSA location sell the set early, sequentially from October 9, before the scheduled fifth-week release in October 2026. Bandai states that the product is planned to ship multiple times after the initial release. The HG series is described as a gashapon figure line known for reproducing fine details.
- Gon: Posed holding a fishing rod, about 7.9 cm tall.
- Killua: Posed holding a yo-yo, about 7.9 cm tall.
- Kurapika: Included in the four-figure lineup at about 7.9 cm.
