Synthesized from 9 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 20

The Gridman Universe brand is currently sustained by a steady stream of merchandise and venue collaborations rather than new animation. The most prominent effort is the Gridman Universe x ROUND1 Collaboration Campaign, running at all ROUND1 stores nationwide from July 29 to October 25, 2026. It spans bowling, karaoke, Spocha, billiard, dart, and amusement venues, with themed menus, packs, photo frames, and crane game prizes. Two stores, Machida and Sennichimae, host exclusive collaboration rooms, and acrylic stands and capsule toy can badges go on sale there from September 11.

Good Smile Company has been a central partner. It is reissuing two MODEROID kits, Full Power Gridman and Full Power Grid Knight, for January 2027 at 8,900 yen each, with new package art by Hiroki Mutaguchi. The Full Power Grid Knight includes an attachment for the separately sold DX Dinozauron kit. Good Smile also opened pre-orders for two hologram acrylic stands from the COVERS project, featuring Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo, releasing October 31, 2026.

Other merchandise continues to expand the character lineup. Furyu's TENITOL TALL line adds sportswear figures of Rikka and Akane, shipping March 2027. QINOCOP held an Office Style popup at Shinjuku Marui Men in July 2026 with office-lady themed illustrations and goods. A Time Slip ver. goods line with childlike forms of the heroines, drawn by character designer Masaru Sakamoto, runs at eeo Store Ikebukuro Main Store from August 22 to September 3, 2026.
