Pre-Orders Re-Open for Two Popular Master Grade Gundam Build Divers Gunpla Kits
Bandai Spirits has officially announced the start of pre-orders for the resale of two limited-edition model kits from the Gundam Build Divers series.
The “MG 1/100 Qubeley Damned” and “MG 1/100 Kampfer Schwer” are specialized variants that offer unique twists on classic Universal Century designs.
These releases allow fans another opportunity to acquire these customized mobile suits, which were originally featured in official spin-off projects.
The “MG 1/100 Qubeley Damned” hails from the side story Gundam Build Divers GIMM & BALL’s World Challenge.
This kit features a distinctive, ominous silhouette achieved through extensive new molding on the head, arms, and exterior armor.
A defining feature of this model is the large, intricate manipulator hands, which utilize ball joints at the base of the fingers to allow for expressive opening and closing actions.
The mobile suit is equipped with ten funnels that can be displayed on the rear funnel pod, alongside clear pink beam effects for its sabers.
The “MG 1/100 Kampfer Schwer” comes from the Gundam Build Divers Genius Head Line design series and is piloted by the mysterious solo diver “Kokuyo.”
This model significantly alters the profile of the original Kampfer with added armor plating and a large, newly sculpted head crest.
The design incorporates a posture control stabilizer on the back to replicate the high-mobility combat style seen in the series.
In addition to the standard Kampfer armaments like the Shotgun and Giant Bazooka, this kit includes newly sculpted fist parts for melee posing.
This announcement coincides with other major announcements for the franchise, such as the upcoming January 10 release of the “HG 1/144 GQuuuuuuX (Endymion Unit Awakened Version)” from the latest TV series.
While the GQuuuuuuX represents the newest animation designs, these Master Grade resales highlight the creative freedom of the Build series’ custom concepts.
The “MG 1/100 Qubeley Damned” is priced at 5,940 yen (approx. $40.00 USD / £31.00 GBP), while the “MG 1/100 Kampfer Schwer” is priced at 6,710 yen (approx. $45.00 USD / £35.00 GBP).
Pre-orders officially opened on Wednesday, January 7, via the Premium Bandai online store.
Both kits are scheduled to ship to customers in April 2026.
