Johnny Ridden is a Gundam character whose mobile suit, the Zaku II, is slated for reissue as an RG kit through the Gunpla Reissue Conference 2026 Summer lottery sale.
Johnny Ridden, a character from the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, appears in recent Yomimono coverage solely through merchandising and promotional events, not through any new story content. The most recent mention comes from the Gunpla Reissue Conference 2026 Summer, where the RG Johnny Ridden's Zaku II was selected as one of four kits for reissue. The selection was determined by fan votes cast through the Builders Note app, and the kit is part of a lottery sale running from August 31 to September 14, 2026, with winners announced on September 18.
Earlier in July, a Kindle sale on Gundam manga included 46 titles at 50% off and point rewards, but Johnny Ridden was not specifically named in that sale's coverage. The character's presence in the cluster is therefore limited to the reissue announcement, which positions the RG Zaku II as a buildable product tied to his identity. No other details about Johnny Ridden, such as his background or role in the franchise, appear in the provided stories.
