Bandai Candy will release Gundam Artifact Best Selection on October 12, 2026, at candy sections of mass retailers nationwide and other locations for 550 yen including tax. The set collects five mobile suit molds from earlier Gundam Artifact waves, and it placed 10th in a June 2026 Amazon hobby ranking ahead of that release.
Gundam Artifact Best Selection is a compilation release from Bandai Candy, set for October 12, 2026. It will be sold at candy sections of mass retailers nationwide and other locations at 550 yen including tax. That is the standard retail candy aisle, not a Premium Bandai or event-only channel.
The set carries five machines drawn from past waves of the Gundam Artifact line: Zeta Gundam, Qubeley, the Ortega Custom High Mobility Type Zaku II, the Gaia Custom and Mash Custom High Mobility Type Zaku II, and ZZ Gundam. The line's format stays the same here: mini plastic kits about 55mm tall, each made up of about 70 parts, described as high density.
Coverage before release centered on retail interest. A June 25, 2026 Amazon Hobby New Arrivals Ranking from Dengeki Hobby Web, based on standard retail prices, put Gundam Artifact Best Selection 10th. The list placed 30MF Class Up Armor (Rosan Fortress) 8th and gave the top spot to Good Smile Company's Space Runaway Ideon MODEROID kit. For the Best Selection, that ranking is the only pre-release signal in the stories; the release date, price, lineup, and channel come from the October announcement.
