Bandai Spirits is an active manufacturer of collectible figures, plastic models, and tabletop games, with recent releases spanning Ichiban Kuji lotteries, S.H.Figuarts and ROBOT Soul figures, 30 Minutes series kits, and a new tabletop game brand. The company continues to expand its lines across anime, game, and VTuber franchises.
Bandai Spirits has been steadily expanding its product lines across multiple franchises. In May 2026, the company announced the DX Chogokin SDF-1 Macross, a 650mm fully transformable figure marking the 45th anniversary of the anime, priced at 99,000 yen and scheduled for November 2026. This was followed by the launch of a new tabletop game brand, Bandai Tabletop Games, with the Pokemon-based dice game Purakoro released in July 2026 for the franchise's 30th anniversary.
The company's plastic model lines have seen frequent additions. The 30 Minutes Fantasy series received two Class Up Armor sets in June 2026, and the 30 Minutes Missions line added an Armored Core VI kit and weapon set. The 30MS series debuted its first Shiny Colors idol with Kaho Komiya in May 2026, and the 30MP line completed the Kessoku Band lineup with Nijika Ijichi in June. The PlanoSaurus educational dinosaur model line expanded with historical and environment-themed variants, including kits based on outdated scientific reconstructions.
In the figure segment, S.H.Figuarts saw announcements for Elden Ring, Ghost in the Shell, and three Shonen Jump franchises at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. The ROBOT Soul line added a Nijisanji VTuber's robot unit, and S.H.MonsterArts introduced a Godzilla vs. Evangelion crossover figure. Ichiban Kuji lotteries covered Kingdom Hearts, Tamagotchi, and other properties, with the Kingdom Hearts lottery featuring the first Riku figure in the line. Banpresto revealed prize figures for multiple franchises at the 84th Prize Fair. The company also re-released the GM II Semi Striker Gunpla in MG and HG scales, and teased a Zeta Gundam figure for the Robot魂 ver. A.N.I.M.E. line.
