Bellfine Reissues Gunbuster Mechanic Selection With Five-Machine Kit
Bellfine's Gunbuster kit answers demand that has held for years after the 1988 OVA, and the December 2026 window puts it at the far end of the release schedule.

Bellfine is re-releasing the Gunbuster Mechanic Selection plastic model kit, with pre-orders opening Monday, September 14 and a release scheduled for December 2026. The set collects five machines from the 1988 OVA Gunbuster: Buster Machine No. 1, Buster Machine No. 2, Luxion, Excelion, and Eltreum. Sizes run from roughly 140mm for Buster Machine No. 1 to about 350mm for Eltreum. The kit costs 9,790 yen including tax.
