Reconguista in G’s Gundam Base Exclusive G–Self Perfect Pack Gets Rare Online Release for Gundam Winter Fest 2026
Image by Charlotte DavisA Gundam Base-exclusive version of the G-Self Perfect Pack is now available online for a limited time, with the movie-inspired Gunpla kit joining Bandai’s latest major promotional event.
The “HG 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED G-SELF PERFECT PACK (Reconguista in G the Movie Ver.)” joins more than 200 Gunpla kits and related accessories available through Premium Bandai US for Gundam Winter Fest 2026, including a selection of normally store-exclusive Gundam Base models.
G-Self first appeared in the 2014 anime Gundam Reconguista in G, which followed Bellri Zenam, a young Capital Guard cadet who became the pilot of the mysterious Mobile Suit during a conflict involving several competing factions in the Regild Century.
Directed by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, the series later received five theatrical compilation films released between 2019 and 2022, featuring revised animation, additional scenes, and changes to the original story.
The G-Self Perfect Pack appeared during the latter stages of the story, combining equipment and capabilities associated with the Mobile Suit’s various backpack configurations into a single powerful system.
Its specialized equipment allowed Bellri to switch between several combat modes, including the devastating Photon Torpedoes used during the conflict’s final battles.
Bandai originally released the Gundam Base-exclusive High Grade kit in October 2024, introducing an updated version of the G-Self Perfect Pack based on its appearance in the theatrical films.
The model builds upon the original “HG 1/144 Gundam G-Self (Perfect Pack Equipped)” from 2015, incorporating newly molded components across the head, chest, shoulders, and joints to improve its proportions, detailing and articulation.
One of the most significant changes is the redesigned head, which more closely recreates the G-Self’s appearance in the movies, including its larger eyes that are recreated by new plastic stickers, revised sensors, and improved separation of the different armor colors.
Its chest has also received substantial changes, including a newly molded transparent cover and improved detailing around the Beam Saber storage compartments.
Additional articulation has been incorporated into the neck, shoulders and waist, allowing the upper body to bend and rotate more freely than the original High Grade release.
The hip joints now feature a sliding mechanism that increases the range of movement in the legs, while adjustments to the elbows and knees provide greater flexibility for combat poses.
The completed model retains the G-Self’s familiar blue, white and red coloring, with the transparent sections and updated stickers recreating the glowing Photon Battery details across its body.
Its most prominent equipment is the Perfect Pack, a large backpack that combines several of the G-Self’s specialized systems through articulated binders, movable thrusters, and deployable weapons.
The backpack supports multiple configurations, including Atmospheric Mode and Space Mode, with its equipment repositioned to recreate the different capabilities used throughout the story.
Assault Mode can also be reproduced by extending the backpack’s weapon assemblies and adjusting the positions of its Traffic Fins, giving the G-Self a more heavily armed appearance.
The kit also includes special effect parts for Reflector Mode, allowing builders to display the backpack’s energy-deflection equipment in its deployed configuration.
Additional weapons include the Towasanga-produced Beam Rifle, Photon Armor Shield, and two Beam Sabers, with interchangeable hands provided for different combat poses.
An Action Base 7 is included with the Gundam Base edition, providing additional support for the completed model and its large backpack during airborne displays.
Builders can also assemble the G-Self without the Perfect Pack attached, with the kit including the necessary components to reproduce its standard Mobile Suit appearance.
Another Gundam Base-exclusive kit available during Winter Fest is the “MG 1/100 Zaku Cannon (Z Gundam Ver.)”, which recreates the Earth Federation-operated Zaku Cannon from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam with its alternative blue and purple coloring.
That Master Grade is currently accepting limited-time US pre-orders through the same promotion, providing another opportunity to purchase a normally store-exclusive Gundam Base model online.
Gundam Winter Fest 2026 runs from November 6 at 5:00 PM PST until November 30 at 11:59 PM PST, temporarily offering a large selection of Gunpla kits, Gundam Base limited models, and building accessories through Premium Bandai US.
The “HG 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED G-SELF PERFECT PACK (Reconguista in G the Movie Ver.)” is currently in stock for $49, although quantities may be limited and the kit could sell out before the promotion concludes.
Premium Bandai US also offers free shipping on qualifying orders over $99 independently of Gundam Winter Fest, so builders purchasing the G-Self Perfect Pack can add other eligible kits or accessories to reach the required threshold.
