After War Gundam X is in the middle of a 30th anniversary merchandise and events cycle, with Premium Bandai lottery and preorder items, apparel collaborations, and a screening event. The next dated release is the Ichiban Kuji Gundam G W X 30th Anniversary on February 26, 2027.
After War Gundam X is being sold as a 30th anniversary property across merchandise, apparel, and events rather than as a single campaign. Bandai Spirits has tied the show to a wider 1990s Gundam block: the Ichiban Kuji Gundam G W X 30th Anniversary, set for February 26, 2027 at 900 yen per draw, groups After War Gundam X with Mobile Fighter G Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, with a Gundam Double X bust as the A Prize and a Tiffa Adill figure as the B Prize.
The mechanical designs are the main product engine. The HG 1/144 Gundam Leopard released August 8, 2026 at 2,420 yen, and a second Premium Bandai lottery round for the same kit followed. The Gundam Double X appears as a Metal Robot Spirits figure at 24,200 yen, sold by lottery with shipping in March 2027, after an earlier preorder listing at the same price with February 2027 shipment. A PROPLICA G Controller, the device used to activate Gundams in the series, adds recorded dialogue and a Satellite System Mode recreation at 20,350 yen, shipping February 2027.
Apparel and archival releases fill out the year. STRICT-G ran brush-stroke T-shirts for the Gundam X and Gundam Virsago at 6,600 yen, and a separate ink-brush pair at the same price. STRICT-G also worked with fan maker Nishikawa Shoroku Shoten on fans marking the show's 30th. The Complete Record Collection A.W. 30th Chronicle, a two-volume set at 14,300 yen, collects setting materials and four cast roundtables and ships January 2027.
The anniversary also brought the production staff back on record. A September 27 screening at TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro in Tokyo had lead voice actor Wataru Takagi host director Shinji Takamatsu, character designer Shigeyoshi Nishimura, and mechanical designer Junya Ishigaki. The event was preceded in May by the death of scriptwriter Hiroyuki Kawasaki at 60.

Scriptwriter Hiroyuki Kawasaki died on January 23, fellow screenwriter Takao Koyama announced on X/Twitter on Thursday. Kawasaki was 60. He was born on November 17, 1965. Koyama, who founded the screenwriter training group Brazaanoppo in 1988, noted that Kawasaki was among its first members and called him "one of the most prolific screenwriters among the Noppo members." Brazaanoppo disbanded in 2016, and some of its members later joined Kawasaki's own group, Hiroyuki Kawasaki's Screenwriting and Research. Kawasaki wrote scripts and series compositions for numerous anime, including Blade of the Immortal, Ryoko's Case File, Silent Möbius, After War Gundam X, Sakura Wars, and Shinkon Gattai Godannar. He also co-wrote the Love Hina light novel. Animation director Masami Obari posted a tribute on X, saying he was "greatly indebted" to Kawasaki for Platinumhugen Ordian.
