Gundam GQuuuuuuX Figures and Gunpla: The 2026 Wave Collectors Should Know
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the franchise's headline 2025 anime made with the creative team behind Neon Genesis Evangelion, is now fueling a full wave of Bandai model kits and figures arriving through 2026. For collectors, that means the striking new mobile suit designs from the show are finally becoming things you can put on a shelf — and the lineup runs from affordable High Grade kits to one of the biggest transformable Gundam collectibles Bandai has attempted.
What Gundam GQuuuuuuX Is
GQuuuuuuX follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high-school student living in a quiet space colony who feels her peaceful daily life is somehow false. After she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, she is pulled into an illegal mobile suit dueling sport called Clan Battle. Racing under the alias "Machu," she pilots the title machine, the GQuuuuuuX. The series reworks classic Universal Century iconography through a fresh, unorthodox lens, which is exactly why its mecha designs have caught collectors' attention.
The 2026 High Grade Gunpla Wave
Bandai has confirmed several 1/144 High Grade kits pulled straight from the show. The HG 1/144 01 Gundam [GQ] leads the way in January 2026 at 2,420 yen, sporting a skeletal black-and-white aesthetic positioned as a predecessor to the classic RX-78-2 Gundam, and shipping with beam sabers, a beam rifle, a hyper bazooka and a shield. Following in June 2026 is the HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ) at 2,826 yen, described as a loose remix of a mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. These are the entry points for anyone who wants to build the GQuuuuuuX cast without a premium price tag.
The Big One: A Transformable Kikeroga
The centerpiece for figure collectors is the Robot Spirits SIDE MS Kikeroga, revealed around Tamashii Nation 2025. Standing almost a foot tall, it is one of the largest Gundam collectibles Bandai has produced, and it converts between a mobile suit mode with extendable cable-equipped limbs and a full ship mode that wraps around the mecha elements. Piloted by Sharia Bull in the series, it ships in late April or early May 2026 at roughly $229 and even includes a Zaku Bazooka accessory meant to pair with a separate Red Gundam figure. It is a display piece first and a toy second — the kind of centerpiece a Gundam shelf is built around.
Why Collectors Are Paying Attention
GQuuuuuuX is doing what the best Gundam entries always do: introducing new silhouettes that reward collectors who buy in early. Between the budget-friendly High Grade kits and the showpiece Kikeroga, there is an on-ramp at every price point, and the six-month release cadence means the lineup will keep growing through 2026. If you are new to the franchise, the High Grade 01 Gundam [GQ] is the natural first pick; if you want a statement piece, the Kikeroga is built for it.
Start Your Display
Akibato's dedicated Gundam collection is still filling in, but if you are building an anime mecha shelf, browse Akibato's Figures collection for Bandai and other Japanese-import figures that pair well with a GQuuuuuuX display. Gundam collectors who love bold, mechanical designs often gravitate to premium scale and Robot Spirits-style figures across series — a good place to start while the new GQuuuuuuX kits ship worldwide.
