Bandai Spirits Sets METAL BUILD Strike Gundam ENGINEERING EDITION for GUNDAM-Con2027
The Strike Gundam ENGINEERING EDITION turns the METAL BUILD line's engineering display into the product itself, and Bandai Spirits is holding that reveal for a stage it now treats as a global launch window rather than a domestic event booth.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Bandai Spirits Collectors Division will commercialize the METAL BUILD Strike Gundam ENGINEERING EDITION, a monotone and transparent-finish version of the Strike Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. The figure stands about 180mm and ships with a beam rifle, two Armor Schneiders, an anti-beam shield, interchangeable hands and antenna, and a dedicated pedestal set. It costs 19,800 yen and goes on sale first at GUNDAM-Con2027 SIDE MAKUHARI from January 9 to 11, 2027, with Premium Bandai sales planned later.
The engineering edition applies a monotone scheme that the write-up describes as establishing transparency, paired with coloring that carries texture and markings that carry realism. Build materials are ABS, PVC, and die-cast, and the finished height is roughly 180mm. The set includes the main body, four types of interchangeable hands for each side, an interchangeable antenna, a 57mm high-energy beam rifle, two Armor Schneider weapons, an anti-beam shield, and a dedicated pedestal set.
Bandai Spirits lists the price at 19,800 yen with tax included. The first sale happens at GUNDAM-Con2027 SIDE MAKUHARI, running January 9 to 11, 2027, with Premium Bandai sales planned afterward. Bandai Spirits also notes that sales may come through other channels, including events in Japan and overseas, or under changed conditions.
