Across the stories, Bandai Spirits releases are organized by purchase channel as much as by product line. Premium Bandai carries lotteries for the MGSD Kshatriya, the S.H.Figuarts Hashirama Senju -Reanimation- figure, and preorders for the S.H.Figuarts All For One Final Battle Set, alongside Tamashii Web Shop reservations for the ROBOT Spirits Queen Mansa and Quin Mantha. General retail handles other items, including the S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy New World figure and its separate Haki parts set and the PROPLICA Master Sword re-release. Ichiban Kuji lotteries fill out the rest, from the Hunter x Hunter Phantom Troupe set to the Naruto Shippuden Hidan and Kakuzu edition and the Dragon Ball Snap Collection 3. Banpresto, the brand under Bandai Spirits, handles crane game prizes such as the TinyTAN DNA Monitor Top figures and the hololive IF Gundam figures.
The product slate leans on anniversary hooks. Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ turns 40 in 2026, and the ROBOT Spirits Queen Mansa ~Marking Plus~ and Quin Mantha both cite that anniversary, with Mika Akitaka supervising both. Mobile New Century Gundam X's 30th anniversary is the frame for the METAL ROBOT Spirits Gundam Double X. The METAL BUILD Strike Gundam ENGINEERING EDITION is set for first sale at GUNDAM-Con2027 SIDE MAKUHARI in January 2027, with Premium Bandai sales afterward. On the model kit side, Bandai Spirits showed the MG Gundam X Divider and HG GX Bit for the first time at the 2026 64th All Japan Model & Hobby Show, and it announced Bandai Hobby Center Osaka in Sakai City, its first plastic model plant in western Japan, with operation starting November 2026 and seven multi-color molding machines.

BANDAI SPIRITS is expanding its PlanoSaurus Gachikoseibutsu Club series with a new kit based on the Steller's sea cow, a large marine mammal that survived into the 17th century and is believed to have gone extinct in 1768. The kit is set for release on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at a price of 1,925 yen including tax.

The skin parts include fine wrinkles molded into the surface, reproducing the animal's physique, which stored fat for adaptation to cold regions. Articulation covers the mouth, head, neck, arms, abdomen, and tail flukes, allowing the model to be posed in a swimming stance on a clear base included with the kit. Assembly is snap-fit with no adhesive or tools required, and parts pop off runners with a touch-gate system. The kit is non-scale and includes a sticker sheet and the base.
