The Big O is in print in two separate categories. Discotek Media has a Blu-ray release planned for later this year, and Good Smile Company is taking preorders for a rerelease of the MODEROID Big O model kit.
Two stories about The Big O cover different formats. Discotek Media announced The Big O as part of a large slate of Blu-ray releases at its Otakon panel on Saturday, alongside Digimon Frontier, Lupin III: Part II, Toradora!, Pani Poni Dash!, Outlanders, Samurai Pizza Cats, Argento Soma, Tales of the Abyss, Infinite Ryvius, Memories, Patlabor TV and movies, Penguindrum, Lupin III: Zenigata and the 2 Lupins, and Digimon Movies Collection 3. Those releases are planned for later this year. The announcement did not attach a format or date to The Big O on its own.
Two months later, Good Smile Company opened preorders again for MODEROID Big O, a plastic model kit of the Megadeus piloted by Roger Smith. The kit is about 230mm tall, stores the Griffon in both legs, has an opening cockpit, a light-up gimmick for the eyes using an included LED unit, and swappable parts for Missile Party and Cannon Party. Preorders run to November 4 at 8,900 yen, with shipping set for February 2027.
The two items are separate: a home video release from Discotek and a model kit from Good Smile. Neither story connects them to each other or reports new animation. As of the most recent story, the kit is the one with a stated price, preorder deadline, and shipping window; the Blu-ray's timing remains only 'later this year.'
