Bandai reveals the winner of its Master Grade Gunpla reissue poll as fans decide which kits will be coming back
Bandai Spirits has announced the final results of its “MG Final Vote 2025,” a fan-participation event held to determine which out-of-print Gunpla kits should be re-released.
The poll, which gathered approximately 310,000 votes from fans, focused on the “Master Grade” (MG) line of 1/100 scale model kits and its various sub-brands like “Ver.Ka” and “MGEX.”
The number one most-requested kit for a re-release, and overall winner of the poll, was the “MG 1/100 PLAN303E Deep Striker.”
The Deep Striker is a massive and complex mobile suit from the Gundam Sentinel photo-novel series, and its Master Grade kit is a large and highly sought-after collector’s item.
Due to its popularity, the re-release of the Deep Striker will be handled via a lottery-based sale.
Another high-ranking kit, the “MG 1/100 Perfect Zeong,” will also be re-released through the same lottery system.
In addition to the lottery items, seven other kits that ranked highly in the poll will also be re-released.
These models are scheduled for a standard re-release at general retail stores, starting in early 2026.
The seven kits set for a general retail restock are:
- MG 1/100 Concept-X 6-1-2 Turn X
- MG 1/100 PMX-003 The-O
- MG 1/100 V-Dash Gundam Ver.Ka
- MG 1/100 Gundam Double X
- MG 1/100 Perfect Gundam
- MG 1/100 ReZEL Type C (Defenser a+b Unit / General Revil Custom)
- MG 1/100 FAZZ Ver.Ka
Release details for the general sale kits are expected to be announced in due course.
The lottery sale for the “MG 1/100 PLAN303E Deep Striker” and “MG 1/100 Perfect Zeong” will be handled via the Gundam Base Online Shop.
The application period for the lottery to purchase these two kits is scheduled to run from the 27th of August, 2025, to the 10th of September, 2025.
