MS-06D Zaku Desert Type Enters G.F.F.M.C. Figure Lineup
Bandai Spirits has announced the GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE MS-06D Zaku Desert Type, a pre-painted finished figure based on the mobile suit from the MSV (Mobile Suit Variation) series. Pre-orders open on June 24, 2026 at 16:00 JST on Premium Bandai, priced at 33,000 yen, with shipment scheduled for December 2026. The figure stands approximately 180mm tall and uses ABS, PVC, and die-cast materials, with die-cast used in key joints for heft and durability. Designed under the supervision of Hajime Katoki, it features new sculpting for the desert combat modifications, a rotating mono-eye gimmick, and a full set of weapons including a dedicated machine gun, spare magazines, two 3-barrel missile pods, two 2-barrel missile pods, and two cracker pods. Multiple hardpoints on the body allow all weapons to be mounted simultaneously, reproducing the original full-equipment configuration. The Zaku Desert Type is the first MSV mobile suit to be released in the G.F.F.M.C. line. Social media reaction to the announcement has been positive, though some discussion has noted the naming distinction between this 'Zaku Desert Type' and similar mobile suits like the Dizard Zaku.
