Bandai Spirits is re-releasing two Master Grade kits from the MSV line through Premium Bandai. The MG 1/100 Mass Production Hyaku Shiki Kai and the MG 1/100 FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam open for pre-order on September 4, 2026 at 11:00. The Hyaku Shiki Kai is priced at 6,490 yen and ships in February 2027, while the Heavy Gundam is 5,390 yen and ships in March 2027.
The Mass Production Hyaku Shiki Kai is a compatible kit: parts selection lets builders assemble the standard Hyaku Shiki instead, using the same non-plated gold molding color. New tooling covers the distinctive head, shoulder armor, beam gatling guns, and parts of the backpack, and the backpack can mount the included clay bazooka. Two beam gatling guns come in the box, one for each shoulder, with rotating bases.
The Heavy Gundam carries the roughly 170mm Frame Launcher on its right arm, plus an MS-integrated beam cannon and armor for the head, chest, shoulders, arms, backpack, waist, legs, and ankles. Both kits include water transfer decals and are sold only through Premium Bandai.
