The HOBBY Division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS company has announced the latest product in its robot model kit "HG (High Grade)" series, the "HG 1/35 Zi-Apollo", from the anime series *CODE GEASS: Rozé of the Recapture*, scheduled for release in March 2026. This product will be sold exclusively on BANDAI's official online store, PREMIUM BANDAI.
The UZZ-001s Zi-Apollo was originally a 7th generation KMF developed without authorization by Lloyd Asplund, the developer of the Lancelot series. However, after its completion, it was taken without permission by the protagonist, Sakuya Sumeragi. When Sakuya Sumeragi altered Ash's memories and they disguised themselves as the "Nameless Mercenary" brothers, this unit was piloted by Ash. The Zi-Apollo possesses exceptionally outstanding performance, and combined with Ash's superb piloting skills, it is almost unrivaled. Its combat capabilities are further enhanced when its high-mobility mode, "Megistus ZETA," is activated.
The "HG 1/35 Zi-Apollo" is produced with a completely new sculpt, reproducing the anime's design with rich molded part colors and precise details, showcasing its sleek and cool body proportions and armor contours. The model also features a flexible articulation design, with ball joints in the torso, pull-out joints in the shoulders, and rotatable tires on the back of the feet. By replacing head parts, the "Megistus ZETA" mode can be reproduced, allowing for dynamic battle poses reminiscent of the Lancelot.
Regarding weaponry, the unit's six sets of Hien Souga can be equipped with single-core wire parts to reproduce their firing state, and the blades mounted on both arms can be deployed, along with "Energy Shield" effect parts. Furthermore, many weapons plundered from other units in the series are also included, such as two "MVS (Massive Swords)" taken from Glenn Cockayne's Revyletaine, the "Ulti-Titanium Saber" taken from Arnold Renck's Valpnir, a "Rifle" taken from the New Britannian Empire's main unit, the Camden, and the scissor-type "Special MVS" taken from Christophe Sissaman's Elgrips.
In addition, BANDAI SPIRITS has also announced that another main unit piloted by Sakuya Sumeragi, the "Zi-Artemis," will also be released as an HG model kit, and it will be able to reproduce the combined form "Zi-Ortega" with the "Zi-Apollo."
