Bandai Spirits opened reservations on August 27, 2026 for several new items in its Tamashii Nations figure lines, including two METAL ROBOT Soul figures from the Gundam x hololive production collaboration. The METAL ROBOT Soul <SIDE MS> Nu Gundam [Sakura Miko Ver.] is priced at 24,200 yen, and the Sazabi [Hoshimachi Suisei Ver.] at 28,600 yen, both shipping in January 2027. Reservations for the Nu Gundam began at 16:00 and for the Sazabi at 17:00 on August 27. The figures feature special coloring based on the VTubers' image colors, dedicated bases, and collaboration markings. The company also opened reservations for the METAL STRUCTURE Kaitai Shouki RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG Specification), a 310mm figure priced at 137,500 yen, also shipping in January 2027. The Kaitai Shouki figure includes LED gimmicks and three armor deployment forms. These items were displayed at the Bandai / BANDAI SPIRITS booth at TOKYO TOY SHOW 2026, alongside other collaboration figures including RG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 [HOLOLIVE PRODUCTION Ver.] and RG Crossbone Gundam X1 [Houshou Marine Ver.].
- The collaboration project between Gundam and hololive production was first announced in March 2026, with six talents and their dedicated mobile suits participating.
- The Sazabi [Hoshimachi Suisei Ver.] includes a crank-shaped mount joint for its large shield, allowing high freedom in posing, and its beam shot rifle has a pump-action-style barrel movement. The beam saber can be stored in and removed from the wrist frame.
- The Nu Gundam [Sakura Miko Ver.] includes a horizontal swing type beam blade for the beam saber, and its new hyper bazooka has a built-in extension gimmick that can be mounted on the rear.
- The Kaitai Shouki RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG Specification) has its three armor deployment forms defined by the series: standard combat, high mobility combat, and full maintenance. The high mobility form changes the backpack thruster layout, and parts of the armor open for a heat dissipation effect.
- LED gimmicks in the Mk-II light the main camera, camera eye, chest sensor, and cockpit interior. The dedicated base includes a catapult-inspired part for recreating launch scenes, and a mini figure is included to convey scale.
- Some armor panel backs are painted in Titan navy blue, and the shield print shows a painted-over Titans emblem, referencing the unit's history before AEUG operation. The arm shield base uses a shared unit shape, allowing the scene of attaching the shield directly to the chest from the series to be recreated.
- Inside's report notes the figures use die-cast parts mainly in the joints, and gives the reservation start time for the Sazabi as 16:00 and for the Nu Gundam as 17:00 on August 27.
- Dengeki Hobby Web notes that the August 27 and 28 days of TOKYO TOY SHOW 2026 are business trade show days, with public open days on Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30.
- At the TOKYO TOY SHOW 2026 booth, Gashapon and confectionery toys related to the Gundam x hololive collaboration were also on display.
