Gundam Artifact PRO Line Officially Launches This November With Full Armor Gundam and Zaku II
Bandai has officially revealed the first wave of the new “Gundam Artifact PRO” line as part of an ongoing effort to evolve the detailed miniature candy toy series.
The original “Gundam Artifact” collection initially launched in 2021 and quickly gained traction for applying incredibly detailed industrial design interpretations to classic mobile suits.
This brand-new upgraded “Artifact PRO” series drastically increases the overall size of the new figures compared to the original Artifact ones, bringing them up to an impressive height of approximately 10cm.
These upgraded kits achieve a completely new level of articulation by utilizing sturdy alloy components alongside standard modeling plastics.
The intricate, multi-layered joints are expertly designed to evoke real-world heavy machinery, interlocking smoothly to allow builders to replicate realistic mechanical movements.
The complete inaugural Gundam Artifact PRO lineup includes the following two releases:
- Gundam Artifact PRO Full Armor Gundam
- Price: 7,150 yen (approx. $45 USD / £36 GBP)
This detailed kit features intricate industrial aesthetics and utilizes alloy components for smooth articulation, complete with removable armor plates that reveal the base RX-78-2 Gundam underneath.
- Gundam Artifact PRO High Mobility Type Zaku II (Black Tri-Stars Custom)
- Price: 6,380 yen (approx. $40 USD / £32 GBP)
This fully articulated kit brings the iconic Zeon mobile suit to life with an impressive 10cm scale, featuring multi-layered joints and coming equipped with signature weaponry like the Zaku machine gun.
The initial pre-order for this new series of figures sold out almost immediately back in May this year due to immense demand from collectors, leading to a second wave which also sold out.
Fans lucky enough to secure their pre-order through Premium Bandai will receive an exclusive clear outer armor parts set for the Full Armor Gundam as a special campaign bonus.
For those who missed out on the initial pre-orders, the first wave of Gundam Artifact PRO will begin appearing at physical hobby stores across Japan from November 23, 2026, offering a chance to pick up the highly sought after new figures in person.
It may also be possible to acquire them through second hand markets, or through select international hobby goods importers after their release, though due to their popularity availability is likely to be scarce.
