Bandai's METAL STRUCTURE Kaitai Shouki Adds Z Gundam's Mk-II
Kaitai Shouki's format, one machine taken apart and rebuilt with per-part material choices, is being applied to a Z Gundam lead suit at the 137,500 yen tier, where the line tests how much structure and finish collectors will pay for.

The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (A.E.U.G. Spec) from Mobile Suit Z Gundam is being released as a painted completed figure under METAL STRUCTURE Kaitai Shouki, Bandai's high-end completed-robot line. It is built from roughly 2,500 parts, stands about 310mm tall, and includes beam rifle, hyper bazooka, shield, base set, and beam effect parts. Priced at 137,500 yen with tax, it is a lottery-sale item scheduled for release in January 2027.
The figure is designed around a teardown premise: the Mk-II is analyzed for its role in the story, pulled apart, and reassembled with composite materials chosen per part. Two original settings created for the line, a high-mobility combat form and a full maintenance form, sit alongside the standard combat form.
Light-emitting gimmicks in the main body and base are paired with mini figures to suggest giant scale during maintenance. The set ships with the main body, beam rifle, hyper bazooka, vulcan pod system, shield, two spare E-packs, joint parts for the E-pack, a spare bazooka cartridge, base set, various beam effect parts, and a figure set.
