Bandai Fully Reveals New Anime Faithful Z Gundam Premium Figure
Bandai has officially opened the next chapter in its acclaimed ROBOT SPIRITS
The figure was first teased earlier this week, and now Bandai has fully unveiled the detailed new premium figure whilst simultaneously opening it up for orders.
Originally piloted by Kamille Bidan, the MSZ-006 Z Gundam stands as one of the most recognizable mobile suits in the Gundam franchise and serves as the flagship machine of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
The advanced transformable mobile suit was developed by the Anti-Earth Union Group using technology derived from the Titans’ RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, incorporating a revolutionary movable frame and lightweight Gundarium Gamma alloy armor.
Its versatile arsenal includes a Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, and a wrist-mounted Grenade Launcher capable of firing multiple ammunition types, making it one of the most adaptable mobile suits of its era.
The Z Gundam also features the Bio-Sensor, a simplified psycommu system that allows Newtype pilots to dramatically enhance the machine’s performance through their mental abilities.
When fully activated, the Bio-Sensor is capable of extraordinary feats, including boosting beam weapon output, generating defensive barriers, and even disrupting enemy mobile suits.

Rather than relying on a fully transforming internal structure, the figure combines partial transformation mechanisms, including a retractable head assembly and interchangeable block components, producing a sturdier and more animation-accurate Wave Rider mode while preserving the sleek proportions established in the original design artwork.
This hybrid transformation system also allows the Mobile Suit mode to maintain an impressive range of articulation for dynamic posing.
The shoulders feature extensive forward and backward movement, while dual-axis elbow joints and multiple articulation points throughout the torso provide exceptional flexibility for recreating action scenes.
The knees incorporate a two-stage bending mechanism, and the backpack connects to the flight armor through a ball joint that enables movement in multiple directions.
Collectors can also recreate alternative display configurations by removing the flight armor in Mobile Suit mode or displaying the Wave Rider with the shield detached using the included interchangeable components.
A generous selection of accessories is included, featuring multiple interchangeable hands, the Beam Rifle, Shield, Beam Sabers, replacement Grenade Launcher wrist parts, Wave Rider landing gear, and a variety of beam effect pieces.
The effect parts include both straight and curved Beam Saber blades alongside a firing effect for the Beam Rifle, while additional compatibility allows the saber effects to recreate the Beam Rifle’s saber mode or the waist-mounted Beam Gun firing scene in Wave Rider configuration.
