Bandai's MOBILE SUIT ENSEMBLE 23.5 Gashapon Set Lists Five Types, Including Gundam Aerial
The 23.5 label makes this a recolor run rather than a new main-numbered set, so the series advances on palette variants of suits it has already tooled while the retail release trails the online order window by months.

Bandai's gashapon line MOBILE SUIT ENSEMBLE returns with a 23.5 installment, a partial color change of the 23rd set. The five types are Gundam Aerial (Permet Score Six), Gundam Barbatos (4th Form) (Another Color Ver.), Rick Dias (Black), Graze (Arles Unit), and an MS Weapon Set. Gashapon Online sales open Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 11:00 and run through Sunday, October 26 at 23:59, ahead of a late February 2027 shipment.
The mobile suit lineups come from three separate Gundam entries at once: Aerial from The Witch from Mercury in its Permet Score Six state, Barbatos 4th Form from Iron-Blooded Orphans as an Another Color Ver., and the Rick Dias in black alongside the Graze Arles Unit. The fifth type is an MS Weapon Set rather than a mobile suit. Each figure stands about 65mm, and a play costs 500 yen including tax. Orders close once the prepared quantity is reached, and Bandai notes the capsules may also appear at vending machines nationwide before the product ships.
