Gunpla refers to the popular model kits based on the Gundam anime franchise which allow fans to build scale accurate action figures of various Gundams and mobile suits from the series.

They are popular due to the ease with which they can be constructed and put together with minimal tools or painting required.

Figure-Rise are model kits which are functionally similar to Gunpla kits, except that they allow fans to build an action figure of an anime character from a series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece rather than a robot/mecha.

The June releases include four products, catering to various segments of the model kit hobby community.

The following three model kits are scheduled for release on June 7th 2025:

HG 1/144 Bocata’s Gelgoog (GQ)

This new High Grade kit features a mobile suit from the Gundam GQuuuuuuX series.

The Gelgoog is a classic Zeon Mobile Suit design from the original Mobile Suit Gundam and this GQuuuuuuX version offers a fresh take on a familiar design.

This gunpla kit will be priced at 2,420 yen (approx. $16.79 USD / £12.48 GBP).

Figure-Rise Standard Amate Yuzuruha (Mature)

This kit belongs to the “Figure-Rise Standard” line, which focuses on highly articulated and detailed plastic models of characters from various anime, manga, and video games.

It allows you to build a poseable figure of Amate Yuzuruha from Mobile Suit from the Gundam GQuuuuuuX.

It comes with a variety of accessories including a Haro and alternate parts that allow her to be displayed with and without her sweater.

This model kit will be priced at 4,180 yen (approx. $29.01 USD / £21.55 GBP).

1/1 Char’s Zaku DX Set

Char Aznable, known as the “Red Comet,” is one of the most famous and enduring characters in the Gundam universe.

This unique product is a chibi version of Char Aznable’s iconic Zaku II mobile suit.

While it is a 1/1 scale kit, the scale is measured against a chibi cartoon version of the Zaku II rather than a full-size mobile suit. These style of 1/1 scale models typically stand 10-15cm tall.

It will be priced at 1,100 yen (approx. $7.63 USD / £5.67 GBP).

The fourth item which has had its release date confirmed will go on sale from June 28th 2025:

RG 1/144 Shining Gundam

This Real Grade kit brings the Shining Gundam, the main Mobile Fighter of Domon Kasshu from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, to the RG line.

G Gundam is famous for its unique martial arts-inspired Mobile Fighters and over-the-top battles.

The RG release of the Shining Gundam is expected to feature exceptional articulation, allowing for dynamic martial arts poses as well as intricate details including its iconic Super Mode transformation.
