gunpla february 2026 releases

Bandai Spirits has revealed its lineup of Gunpla releases for February 2026, featuring a mix of highly anticipated kits across various grades.

Leading the charge is the “MG 1/100 Full Armor ZZ Gundam Ver.Ka,” an all-inclusive set supervised by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki.

This release allows builders to recreate the heavy armor configuration of the ZZ Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, complete with a massive Hyper Mega Cannon.

The kit features a transformation gimmick that allows it to switch between the “Full Armor” and “Enhanced ZZ Gundam” forms by attaching or removing armor parts.

Also arriving in the Master Grade line is the “MGSD Destiny Gundam,” the fifth entry in the high-end SD brand.
