Bandai is officially bringing back an exclusive Gunpla kit based on Gundam 00V’s crimson Advanced GN-X piloted by Deborah Galiena.
The “HG 1/144 Advanced GN-X (Deborah Galiena Custom)” recreates the GNX-604T in Deborah’s red-and-white color scheme, pairing the customized Mobile Suit with its large Proto GN Lance, Advanced GN Beam Rifle, GN Beam Saber, and GN Shield.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00V expanded the Anno Domini timeline with additional Mobile Suits and variations that existed alongside the events of the original anime, including specialized machines developed for Celestial Being, the United Nations Forces, and their successors.
The Advanced GN-X was developed as an improved version of the original GN-X following the United Nations Forces’ battle with Celestial Being, with individual machines tuned around the abilities of elite pilots including Deborah Galiena and Amy Zimbalist.
Deborah’s unit stands apart through its crimson armor and white secondary coloring, which Bandai reproduces largely through the kit’s molded parts rather than relying on the standard GN-X color scheme.
Its main close-range weapon is the enormous Proto GN Lance, an experimental weapon that would later influence the lance carried by the GN-XIII, while the Advanced GN Beam Rifle provides the machine with its primary ranged option.
A GN Beam Saber can also be attached directly to the end of the Advanced GN Beam Rifle’s barrel, allowing the weapon to be converted for close-range combat without replacing the entire rifle.
The kit originally debuted as a Premium Bandai exclusive in April 2019, and this new re-release gives fans another opportunity to pick up Deborah’s version of the Advanced GN-X.
Its return comes as Bandai places renewed attention on the wider GN-X family, with the MG 1/100 Superbia GN-X recently opening for US pre-orders after becoming the latest Gundam 00V machine to receive a new Gunpla kit.
The Superbia GN-X was developed from the later GN-XIII for amphibious assault missions, while Deborah’s Advanced GN-X represents an earlier stage in the development of the family between the original GN-X and subsequent machines such as the GN-XII.
Gundam 00 has also seen several older exclusives return during 2026, including the PG 1/60 Trans-Am Raiser and HG 1/144 Black Plutone through Premium Bandai US.
Pre-orders for the returning “HG 1/144 Advanced GN-X (Deborah Galiena Custom),” priced at ¥2,420 (approximately $15 / £11), opened through Premium Bandai Japan on October 30, 2026, ahead of shipping in February 2027.
Premium Bandai US has not listed the new production run at the time of writing, although it can take several days or weeks after the initial Japanese pre-orders open for this to happen, so it’s worth checking back regularly to see if orders have opened yet.
