Gundam SEED’s Limited-Edition MG Perfect Strike Gunpla Officially Joins Gundam Winter Fest 2026
A Gundam Base-exclusive Gunpla kit of Gundam SEED’s heavily armed Perfect Strike Gundam is back online in the US, with the special Master Grade receiving a limited-time restock as part of Bandai’s latest major promotion.
The “MG 1/100 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED PERFECT STRIKE GUNDAM GRAND SLAM EQUIPPED TYPE” is among more than 200 Gunpla kits and related accessories included in Gundam Winter Fest 2026, which has brought a large selection of previously sold-out models back to Premium Bandai US.
The promotion includes returning Premium Bandai-exclusive kits, special editions, and other hard-to-find Gunpla from across the Gundam franchise, alongside building accessories, decals, and Action Bases.
Gundam Winter Fest has also temporarily made a selection of normally Gundam Base-exclusive kits available online, allowing collectors to access special editions usually associated with physical Gundam Base stores and events.
Strike Gundam first appeared in the original 2002 Mobile Suit Gundam SEED anime as an advanced Earth Alliance Mobile Suit initially piloted by series protagonist Kira Yamato, before later being operated by Mu La Flaga.
The machine’s defining feature was its ability to equip interchangeable Striker Packs, allowing it to adapt to different combat situations with specialized weapons and propulsion equipment.
The Aile Striker enhanced Strike Gundam’s mobility, the Sword Striker provided powerful close-range weapons, and the Launcher Striker equipped the machine with heavy artillery for long-distance combat.
Perfect Strike Gundam combined all three systems into the Multiple Assault Striker, creating a heavily armed configuration that appeared in the HD remastered version of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Bandai originally released the Gundam Base-exclusive Grand Slam Equipped Type in August 2022, combining the “MG 1/100 Aile Strike Gundam Ver.RM” with the additional Sword and Launcher Striker equipment and an enormous folding sword.
The same kit was previously made available online during Gundam Summer Fest 2026, with its latest appearance giving US collectors another opportunity to access the normally store-exclusive Master Grade.
Based on the revised Master Grade Aile Strike Gundam from 2013, the kit retains the updated proportions, mechanical detailing, and articulation introduced through Bandai’s Ver.RM redesign.
Its extensive selection of interchangeable equipment allows builders to recreate Aile Strike Gundam, Sword Strike Gundam, Launcher Strike Gundam, or the fully equipped Perfect Strike Gundam using the same kit.
The Aile Striker incorporates large movable wings and two Beam Sabers, with additional battery packs that can be attached when assembling the Perfect Strike configuration.
The Sword Striker includes the enormous Schwert Gewehr anti-ship sword, the Midas Messer Beam Boomerang, and the Panzer Eisen rocket anchor, which can be displayed in its launched position using an included lead wire.
Meanwhile, the Launcher Striker provides the powerful 320mm Agni cannon and a combination weapons pod containing a Vulcan gun and grenade launchers.
All three Striker Packs can be combined to recreate Perfect Strike Gundam’s fully armed appearance, with the completed kit supporting the substantial additional equipment through its articulated frame.
The Gundam Base edition also includes the Grand Slam, an enormous physical sword with a folding mechanism that allows its handle to be repositioned for different display poses.
Additional equipment includes a Beam Rifle, shield, and two folding Armor Schneider combat knives, which can be stored inside compartments in the Gundam’s waist armor.
Water-slide decals are included for additional markings, alongside interchangeable hands and a dedicated display stand designed to resemble a launch catapult.
The catapult-style stand also incorporates an adjustable mechanism, allowing the completed Gundam to be displayed in a launch-ready position with its extensive equipment attached.
Other Gundam SEED kits are available during the same promotion, including the “MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai [Cross Contrast Colors / Polarized Injection]”, a metallic red and gold edition equipped with the enormous transforming Tactical Arms IIL.

Gundam Winter Fest also includes the “RG 1/144 The Gundam Base Limited ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam Ver.GCP”, which recreates Kira Yamato’s later Mobile Suit using a design inspired by the life-size Freedom Gundam statue in Shanghai.
Gundam Winter Fest 2026 runs from November 6 at 5:00 PM PST until November 30 at 11:59 PM PST, with Premium Bandai US offering a large selection of returning Gunpla kits, Gundam Base exclusives, and related accessories throughout the promotional period.
The “MG 1/100 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED PERFECT STRIKE GUNDAM GRAND SLAM EQUIPPED TYPE” is currently in stock through Premium Bandai US for $102, although the limited allocation may sell out before Gundam Winter Fest concludes.
