LBX The Emperor is a Hyper Function plastic model from the Danball Senki line, reissued by BANDAI SPIRITS. As of August 2026 it is in a second order period on Premium Bandai, with shipments scheduled between December 2026 and January 2027.
LBX The Emperor is one of two signature Danball Senki machines BANDAI SPIRITS brought back in its Hyper Function line. The kit is a reissue rather than a simple reprint, and it first went up for pre-order on June 16, 2026 at 3,630 yen, with shipment planned for October 2026.
The model carries the line's upgraded build: multi-color molding, cloth capes, and the Core Skeleton internal frame. It was offered alongside LBX Achilles in that first order window.
On August 18, 2026, Premium Bandai opened a second order period for the kit. That window also introduced two new Hyper Function machines, LBX Lucifer and LBX Odin, while LBX Achilles and LBX The Emperor entered their second order round. All four models are scheduled to ship between December 2026 and January 2027.
