US Orders Open for Gundam 00V’s Exclusive New Master Grade Gunpla Kit
Bandai has officially opened US pre-orders for a new Master Grade Gunpla kit based on Gundam 00V’s Superbia GN-X.
The “MG 1/100 Superbia GN-X” recreates the GNX-612T/AA Superbia GN-X, also known to fans as the Superbia Jinx, with newly molded armor, articulated claw-like feet, and GN Kunai weapons, alongside special display accessories that allow builders to reproduce its ninja-inspired fighting style.
Originally introduced in 2009 through Mobile Suit Gundam 00V, the Superbia GN-X is a specialized development of the GN-XIII created for amphibious assault operations by the Earth Sphere Federation’s A-Laws forces.
The Gundam 00V side story expanded the original anime’s Anno Domini timeline through new mechanical designs and variations of existing Mobile Suits, including machines developed for missions outside conventional combat.
The Superbia GN-X was designed to approach targets underwater using a dedicated Amphibious Assault Unit, which could be discarded once the Mobile Suit reached land, allowing it to launch surprise attacks against enemy positions.
Its development also incorporated advanced technology associated with the Innovators, with performance approaching that of the later GN-XIV despite being based on an earlier generation of Mobile Suit.
First revealed at the 64th All Japan Model & Hobby Show earlier this month, the new Master Grade builds on Bandai’s existing GN-XIII kit, incorporating newly designed parts across the head, waist, legs, and other armor sections to recreate the Superbia GN-X’s unusual appearance.
The kit reproduces its dark indigo, brown, and gray coloring through separate molded components, with the modified head and additional equipment giving the finished model a very different appearance from the standard GN-XIII.
Among its main weapons are two newly molded GN Kunai mounted on the forearms, combining physical blades with integrated GN Vulcans and beam weapons.
The blades can swing forward for close-range attacks or fold back into their firing configuration, while the included beam effect parts allow builders to recreate the weapons’ GN Beam Needle mode.
Bandai has also developed new mechanisms for the Superbia GN-X’s feet, which feature movable sections that can unfold into claw-like appendages designed to grip surfaces.
These are particularly important for recreating the machine’s unusual combat poses, with the included action base and specially molded support beam allowing the completed model to hang upside down as though suspended from an overhead structure.
Additional accessories include replacement hands and display connectors, providing further options for recreating the Superbia GN-X’s unconventional fighting style.
Gundam 00 has also received other major Gunpla releases during 2026, including the new MGSD 00 Raiser, which recreates Setsuna F. Seiei’s upgraded Mobile Suit in the compact Master Grade SD format.
The “MG 1/100 Superbia GN-X,” priced at $69, is now available to pre-order in the US exclusively through Premium Bandai US, with shipping set for May 2027.
