G Gundam Brings Back Neo Russia’s Bolt Gundam for New Martial Arts-Focused Figure Line
One of Mobile Fighter G Gundam’s most powerful Mobile Fighters is returning to Bandai’s popular ROBOT SPIRITS action figure line with an upgraded design focused on recreating its devastating martial arts techniques.
The new “ROBOT SPIRITS Bolt Gundam Martial Action” recreates Neo Russia’s heavily armored Gundam, featuring specially developed articulation, its signature Graviton Hammer weapon, and an extensive range of movement designed to reproduce its powerful fighting style.
Originally airing in 1994, Mobile Fighter G Gundam introduced a new direction for the Gundam franchise, replacing traditional military warfare with the Gundam Fight, an international martial arts tournament where nations competed for control of the Earth Sphere using powerful Mobile Fighters.
The series followed Neo Japan’s representative Domon Kasshu as he searched for his missing brother while competing against skilled fighters from around the world, including Neo Russia’s Argo Gulskii, the pilot of Bolt Gundam.
Bandai has recently been revisiting the anime through several new figures and Gunpla kits, including an exclusive Shadow Gundam High Grade kit based on Neo Germany’s mysterious ninja-inspired Mobile Fighter.
Bolt Gundam was designed around overwhelming physical strength and heavy armor, using powerful Viktor Engines distributed throughout its body to generate the enormous force required for its brutal close-range attacks.
Its signature weapon is the Graviton Hammer, a massive ball-and-chain weapon stored within the Gundam’s left shoulder that can be deployed and swung at opponents during combat.
The Mobile Fighter also possesses the devastating Gaia Crusher technique, which involves gathering energy into its fist before striking the ground with enough force to unleash a powerful shockwave.
Standing approximately 13 cm tall, the new ROBOT SPIRITS figure recreates Bolt Gundam’s broad shoulders, thick armor, and heavily reinforced body, while introducing a range of specially developed joints to improve its posing capabilities.
Despite the Gundam’s enormous armored build, Bandai has designed the figure to perform elaborate martial arts movements, including high kicks, deep lunges, shoulder tackles and low kneeling stances.
An extendable neck joint allows the head to be repositioned during different fighting poses, while the shoulders can swing upward and the waist bends forward to accommodate the Gundam’s powerful upper-body movements.
These mechanisms allow collectors to recreate the distinctive stance used to prepare the Gaia Crusher, with Bolt Gundam bringing its fists together before delivering a devastating strike towards the ground.
Adjustable hip joints, ball-jointed thighs, and additional clearance beneath the front skirt armor also provide greater freedom of movement for the legs, allowing the bulky Mobile Fighter to perform poses that would otherwise be restricted by its heavy armor.
The Graviton Hammer is included as a separate accessory, allowing fans to display Bolt Gundam swinging its enormous weapon or preparing to unleash an attack.
Three pairs of interchangeable hands are also provided, offering different options for gripping the weapon, forming clenched fists, and recreating combat poses from the anime.
A separately sold TAMASHII STAGE display stand can be used for more elaborate arrangements, including airborne attacks and dynamic poses with the Graviton Hammer extended.
Bolt Gundam is the second figure in Bandai’s new ROBOT SPIRITS Martial Action series, which has been developed specifically to recreate the movements and fighting techniques of the Mobile Fighters from G Gundam.
The line also includes Domon Kasshu’s Shining Gundam, featuring an upgraded articulation system, interchangeable components for its different combat modes, and accessories for recreating the powerful Shining Finger attack.
Both figures have been designed to work together, allowing collectors to recreate their battles from the anime using a separately developed “ROBOT SPIRITS Bolt Gundam/Shining Gundam Martial Action Option Parts Set”.
Bandai has already displayed prototypes of the additional accessories, although their full contents, price, and release schedule have yet to be confirmed.
At TAMASHII NATION 2026, Bandai also displayed five unpainted Mobile Fighter prototypes, giving fans an early look at what could be coming to the Martial Action series.
Although the models have not been officially identified, their designs appear to represent Gundam Rose, Gundam Maxter, Gundam Spiegel (Shadow Gundam), Haow Gundam (Kowloon Gundam), and Dragon Gundam.
These Mobile Fighters represented Neo France, Neo America, Neo Germany, Neo Hong Kong and Neo China respectively in the original anime, potentially expanding the lineup to include several of Domon’s closest allies and rivals, although no release dates or prices have been announced.
The new Martial Action series also follows the METAL BUILD God Gundam (Meikyo Shisui), which recreates Domon’s later Mobile Fighter in its brilliant golden Hyper Mode for TAMASHII NATION 2026.
Pre-orders for “ROBOT SPIRITS Bolt Gundam Martial Action” opened on November 12, 2026, through reputable hobby goods retailers such as HobbyLink Japan, priced at ¥9,900 (approximately $62 USD / £47 GBP), with release scheduled for June 2027.
Premium Bandai US has yet to offer the figure, although corresponding US listings can sometimes appear several days or weeks after Japanese pre-orders begin.
