BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS division has announced that the "ROBOT SPIRITS ver. A.N.I.M.E." action figure line is expanding with the classic Gabthley from "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam." Scheduled for release in May 2027, the figure will be available to preorder soon through Premium Bandai’s Tamashii Web Shop.
The RX-110 Gabthley is a prototype transformable mobile suit developed by the Titans, the Earth Federation Forces’ radical elite task force, based on design concepts created by Paptimus Scirocco. Its movable-frame construction allows it to shift between an MS mode built for close-quarters combat and a highly mobile MA mode. The machine excels at both ranged and melee combat, carrying powerful beam weapons including the Fedayeen Rifle and shoulder-mounted Mega Particle Cannons. However, its overly complex frame and steep production costs ultimately prevented it from entering mass production, leaving only a handful of prototype units completed.
A prototype of the "ROBOT SPIRITS Gabthley ver. A.N.I.M.E." is currently on display at the annual TAMASHII NATION 2026 showcase. Based closely on the original animation model sheets, the figure features clean armor surfaces and curved, insect-like shell plating that captures mechanical designer Kazumi Fujita’s distinctive style. Accessories include the Fedayeen Rifle and Beam Sabers, while the shoulder-mounted Mega Particle Cannons can pivot in multiple directions. Its transformation system also allows the figure to recreate the Gabthley’s MA mode.
