MG 1/100 Ex-S Gundam/S Gundam Task Force Alpha Ver. Returns for Second Preorder Round
Bandai Spirits has opened a second round of preorders for the MG 1/100 Ex-S Gundam/S Gundam (Task Force Alpha Ver.) reissue on Premium Bandai. Orders began at 11:00 a.m. JST on July 15, 2026, and the kit is scheduled to ship in December 2026. Priced at 16,500 yen (tax included), the Master Grade kit reproduces the color scheme of the Alpha Task Force version from the "Gundam Sentinel" side story. It includes new parts and new water-slide decals, and can be assembled as either the Ex-S Gundam or the S Gundam through part selection. The kit features a transformation mechanism that allows it to convert into G-Cruiser mode by replacing some parts. Armaments include a beam smart gun with interchangeable barrels for normal and rapid-fire configurations, two beam sabers, head incom, two reflector incoms, and beam cannons. The beam sabers can be stored in the knee boxes, and the thigh beam cannons have flexible axis movement. Assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver, which is not included. The kit is a Premium Bandai and cannot be purchased at plastic model retail stores.
