BANDAI reveals three new “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” Gunpla model kits

During a special broadcast commemorating 45 years of the Gundam franchise, BANDAI SPIRITS delighted fans by revealing three new Gunpla models from the current “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” series.
The “Gunpla 45th Anniversary Special Broadcast!” live stream also revealed that the three new Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX model kits will be released towards the end of this year.

These new High Grade (HG) 1/144 scale kits include the GQuuuuuuX versions of the iconic Zaku mobile suits, as well as Char’s Zaku, alongside the “White Gundam”, the GQuuuuuuX version of the classic RX-78-2 Gundam.
Full-body prototype images of these new Mobile Suits were showcased during the special stream.
The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, which debuted in 1979, has evolved into a global phenomenon, encompassing numerous anime series, films, manga, video games, and an expansive line of Gunpla (Gundam plastic models).

The 45th anniversary marks a momentous occasion for the franchise, prompting various celebratory initiatives such as the Gundam x Hatsune Miku collaboration project.
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is the latest entry in Gundam franchise and takes place within an alternate version of the Universal Century setting that first appeared in the original 1979 series.

Mobile Suit designs from the series are now making their way into the highly popular Gunpla model kit line, such as the Red Gundam and the series’ version of the Gelgoog mobile suit.
The “High Grade (HG)” Gunpla line is celebrated for its 1/144 scale models, which strike a balance between ease of assembly, good articulation and detail, making them accessible to both beginner and experienced modelers.
The newly announced 1/144 HG “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” kits and their scheduled release windows are:
HG 1/144 Zaku (GQ)

The Zaku is one of the most iconic grunt suits in the Gundam franchise, appearing in numerous iterations across various series.

This “(GQ)” version is based on its appearance within the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX continuity.

This gunpla model kit is expected to be released in November 2025.
HG 1/144 White Gundam

The “White Gundam” is the GQuuuuuuX series version of the original RX-78-2 Gundam and is the mobile suit that all other Gundams in the series are based upon.
