BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS collectible division has teased a new Gundam release for its popular die-cast METAL BUILD action figure line. Full details will be revealed at 8:00 a.m. JST on November 12, 2026, with a prototype or development sample potentially going on display at TAMASHII NATION 2026, scheduled for November 13–15.
Looking back at TAMASHII NATION 2025 late last year and METAL BUILD EXPO earlier this year, previously displayed releases including “GUNDAM BARBATOS” and “Hi-ν GUNDAM [METAL BUILD EXPO]” have since been commercialized alongside their respective weapon option sets. The line also launched one of its largest products to date, the massive “METEOR,” leaving no other in-development Gundam mobile suits on the table—at least publicly.
With the theatrical anime “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO” and the new TV series “Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO” both arriving in early 2027, METAL BUILD could continue riding the massive momentum generated by “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM.” One strong possibility is MIGHTY STRIKE FREEDOM GUNDAM, a fan-favorite movie mobile suit that has already appeared in product lines such as METAL ROBOT SPIRITS and MGEX. Personally, though, I’m still hoping to see more standout non-Gundam designs like “KÄMPFER” join the lineup.
