Good Smile Company is re-releasing the MODEROID Mazinger ZERO plastic model from 'Shin Mazinger ZERO vs Ankoku Daishogun' in January 2027, with pre-orders open through Rakuten Books and the official reservation window closing September 30.
Good Smile Company's MODEROID Mazinger ZERO model kit, first released in September 2024, is returning to the market. A re-release was announced in August 2026 with shipping set for January 2027, and by early September 2026 the kit was listed for pre-order at Rakuten Books. The re-release keeps the same construction: a roughly 155mm tall assembly model with movable joints, molded colors, pre-painted parts, and stickers so no painting is required.
The kit reproduces signature features of Mazinger ZERO from 'Shin Mazinger ZERO vs Ankoku Daishogun'. The high heat plate and ZERO Scrander on the back use clear parts, and the Scrander detaches. A gimmick reproduces the opening and closing of the face, and both open hands and gripping hands are included.
Pricing differs slightly between the two announcements. The official reservation notice listed the kit at 7,500 yen including tax, while Rakuten Books lists it at 6,758 yen including tax, with a reference price of 7,499 yen. Reservations are accepted until September 30, with shipping planned for January 2027. The prototype is credited to T-REX, with production cooperation from Sentinel, Nakano Haijin, and Tetsuo Sakata (HRG).
