Bandai Spirits has announced several Strike Gundam products across its model kit and confectionary toy lines. The most immediate is an Entry Grade kit in a ukiyo-e package, releasing August 29, 2026. The Strike joins the RX-78-2 Gundam and Wing Gundam in this series of limited kits, each with Japanese-pattern stickers featuring Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, and big waves. The Strike is priced at 1,430 yen, matching the RX-78-2, while the Wing is 1,760 yen. The kits retain the Entry Grade touch gate design, allowing hand assembly without nippers, and are marketed as possible souvenirs for overseas customers.
On the same release date, the Strike's ukiyo-e kit follows an earlier limited Entry Grade Nu Gundam with similar packaging. The ukiyo-e line extends Bandai Spirits' push to blend traditional Japanese art with its entry-level Gunpla, making the packaging aesthetic a selling point.
Separately, Bandai's FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE line will re-release the Strike Gundam FULL WEAPON SET as a Premium Bandai exclusive in February 2027. This set includes Sword and Launcher Striker Packs plus standard armament, allowing recombination into Aile, Sword, and Launcher Strike forms, and recreates the Perfect Strike with the Multiple Assault Striker Pack. The set's Striker Packs are compatible with the Eclipse Gundam from FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #26, which ships the same month, extending the line's expandability across releases.

BANDAI SPIRITS is releasing three new Gunpla in its ENTRY GRADE series with ukiyo-e themed packaging and Japanese-pattern stickers. The RX-78-2 Gundam, Wing Gundam, and Strike Gundam all arrive on Saturday, August 29, 2026.

All three kits are 1/144 scale and include their respective weapons and a shield.
