Two distinct Gundam Zero entities are active in Bandai's current release schedule. The first is the protagonist mobile suit from the new anime series Mobile Suit Gundam RG Alex Zero (also called XARX-ZERO), directed by Kenji Kamiyama and set to premiere in 2027. On July 24, 2026, Bandai Spirits announced a simultaneous merchandise lineup for this Gundam Zero, including the HG 1/144 plastic model kit, the GUNDAM UNIVERSE XARX-0 Gundam Zero action figure, and the die-cast METAL ROBOT Soul Gundam Zero. Additional toy brands such as Gundam Miximize, Gundam Cross, and a 13 cm scale action figure were also confirmed. The series is part of the RG Project media mix initiative, sharing a world with the game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, which received its own Gunpla announcements. Physical models of both Gundam Zero and Gundam Helix were displayed at San Diego Comic-Con from July 23 to 26, 2026.
The second Gundam Zero is a renewed version of the Wing Gundam Zero (EW) from New Mobile Report Gundam W Endless Waltz, announced on June 17, 2026, as part of the GUNDAM UNIVERSE line. This figure, priced at 4,400 yen and set for release in October 2026, features a UNIVERSAL REACTION FRAME for improved articulation along with weapons and effect parts. The two products share the Gundam Zero name but belong to separate franchises and release timelines, with the RG Alex Zero version tied to a broader cross-media strategy and the Wing Gundam Zero (EW) being a standalone update to an existing design.

Bandai Spirits is releasing a special edition of the MGSD Wing Gundam Zero from Mobile Suit Gundam W: Endless Waltz, featuring a new manufacturing technique called Structural Coating. The kit, named MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW [Structural Coating/Black], changes all outer armor to black and gray molded colors. Internal parts use Structural Coating, a process that creates iridescent colors visible through gaps in the dark armor, similar to the surface of soap bubbles or CDs. The effect varies by viewing angle, and no two kits will have the same finish due to the processing. The wings have a five-layer structure with individual articulation, and when deployed, they expose internal structural coating plating and clear parts with reflection-cut processing. The kit includes a shield, twin buster rifle, and beam saber, and can transform into Neo Bird mode via part replacement. Pre-orders open on Premium Bandai on July 24, 2026, at 12:00 JST. The price is 12,100 yen (tax included), with shipment scheduled for November 2026.
