Bandai has announced the 13th volume of its candy toy action figure line MOBILITY JOINT GUNDAM, which will include four mobile suits: Nu Gundam, Hi-Nu Gundam, Sazabi, and Knight Gundam. The set also includes four EX parts sets, bringing the total to eight collectible types. Nu Gundam and Sazabi, previously featured in Vol.2, are given entirely new sculpts for this release. The Sazabi's two EX parts sets can be combined to form the Nightingale, making it the series' first item to require three boxes to assemble a single large figure. The Nu Gundam can also be equipped with double fin funnels using its EX parts. Pre-orders for a box of 10 units open on July 17, 2026 at 13:00 JST on Premium Bandai. Individual units will be available at retail in December 2026 for 748 yen each, while the box of 10 is priced at 7,480 yen. The Knight Gundam marks the first appearance of a character from the SD Gundam Gaiden spin-off in the MOBILITY JOINT line.
The MOBILITY JOINT GUNDAM series uses a pre-assembled movable inner frame called the MOBILITY JOINT, which combines with plastic parts and stickers to form a complete action figure. Each figure stands approximately 70mm tall. Vol.13 brings back two Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack icons-Nu Gundam and Sazabi-with new tooling, while the Hi-Nu Gundam is taken from the novel Beltorchika's Children. The EX parts for Nu Gundam allow it to display the double fin funnel configuration. For Sazabi, two separate EX parts sets let owners build the much larger Nightingale, a design that originally appeared in the same novel. The Knight Gundam is the first non-mobile suit from the SD Gundam Gaiden franchise to enter the series. Bandai is selling the volume as a full box of 10 on Premium Bandai, which guarantees one of each of the eight types plus two duplicates. General retail sales will be through candy sections at mass retailers nationwide starting in December.
