Gridman Universe

Gridman Universe merchandise continues through 2026 and into 2027, with pre-orders and release dates announced for figures, model kits, and acrylic stands. A ROUND1 collaboration campaign runs at all locations through October 25, 2026.

Synthesized from 10 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 9

Gridman Universe coverage across these stories is about merchandise and retail events tied to the 2023 film, not new animation. Good Smile Company is the most visible manufacturer: it is taking pre-orders for an XL-size Pop Up Parade Swacchao! figure of Rikka Takarada in pajamas; it opened pre-orders for two hologram acrylic stands featuring characters from SSSS.GRIDMAN and Gridman Universe (one Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo by Tridamono, one Akane Shinjo Chaos New Order by saitom, priced at 2,520 yen and scheduled for October 31, 2026); and it is reissuing two MODEROID kits from the film, Full Power Gridman and Full Power Grid Knight, at 8,900 yen each for January 2027, limited to its official shop.

The merchandise push also includes non-Good Smile partners. Furyu's TENITOL TALL line is adding Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo sportswear figures based on lottery illustrations, with pre-orders from June 19, 2026 and shipment set for March 2027. An eeo Store Ikebukuro Main Store event from August 22 to September 3, 2026 uses a Time Slip ver. theme with newly drawn childlike forms by character designer Masaru Sakamoto. A QINOCOP-organized Office Style popup runs at Shinjuku Marui Men from July 11 to 26, 2026, with office lady illustrations of six characters and goods including life-sized tapestries and business card holders.

The most recent story is the ROUND1 campaign. Round One Japan is running the Gridman Universe x ROUND1 collaboration at all stores nationwide from July 29 to October 25, 2026, with collab menus at 93 bowling and karaoke stores, collab packs at bowling, karaoke, Spocha, billiard, and dart stores, and collab rooms at the Machida and Sennichimae stores. The campaign includes bowling score registration, photo frames at 98 stores, prizes at 100 amusement stores, and acrylic stands and capsule toy can badges on sale from September 11.
