Tekkadan Returns as Sought After Gundam: IBO Gunpla Set Re-Released by Bandai
Bandai has officially announced the return of a comprehensive model kit collection featuring the primary mobile suits from the popular Iron-Blooded Orphans animated series.
The “HG 1/144 Tekkadan Complete Set” allows enthusiasts to gather the iconic machines used by the Martian mercenary group during their most critical battles.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans takes place in the Post Disaster era, a timeline defined by the aftermath of a great conflict known as the Calamity War.
The story focuses on a group of young soldiers who form Tekkadan and fight for Martian independence while navigating a world of political intrigue and brutal warfare.
Central to the appeal of this series is the unique mechanical design of the frames, which emphasizes heavy armor and devastating close-range melee weaponry.
This collection includes four separate mobile suits that represent the strength and resilience of the group during the second half of the story.
The primary machine included in the set is the HG Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex, which serves as the final and most powerful form of the protagonist’s personal unit.
It is accompanied by the HG Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City, a heavily armored long-range unit that features massive hidden sub-arms and specialized variable equipment.
The third machine is the HG Gundam Flauros (Ryuseigo), a specialized artillery unit recognizable by its bold pink color scheme and twin railgun cannons.
Completing the quartet is the HG Landman Rodi, a reliable mass-production model that was essential for defending the group’s base during large-scale planetary operations.
To ensure that collectors can recreate specific scenes from the show, the set comes with an extensive array of weapons and optional components.
The package features the formidable anti-ship lance mace and a specialized long-distance flight backpack unit for expanded mission capabilities.
Specialized parts are also provided to recreate the large Dainsleif warhead, which remains one of the most feared weapons in the history of the franchise.
Each of these models is scaled at 1/144 and features the high degree of articulation and detail that is standard for the High Grade line.
By bringing these four specific machines together, Bandai provides a convenient way for fans to complete their roster of the series’ most memorable protagonists.
Pre-orders for this collection officially opened on Monday, February 16, 2026, and the set is priced at 7,700 yen (approx. $51 USD / £40 GBP).
Sales are being managed exclusively through the official Premium Bandai online store.
Shipping for these orders is currently scheduled to begin in June 2026.
