The METAL STRUCTURE Kaitai Shouki RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG Specification) is set for general retail release in January 2027 at 137,500 yen, with preorders open since August 27, 2026. A Sofmap lottery sale runs from August 28 to August 31.
Bandai Spirits' Collectors Division opened the product page and preorders for the METAL STRUCTURE Kaitai Shouki RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (AEUG Specification) in late August 2026. The completed figure is priced at 137,500 yen including tax, stands about 310mm tall, and is composed of over 2,500 parts. It is scheduled for general retail release in January 2027, and Sofmap will hold a lottery sale from August 28 to August 31.
The figure reproduces the Gundam Mk-II's standard silhouette while adding original Kaitai Shouki setting gimmicks. The most prominent is the High Mobility Combat Form, where the backpack thruster layout changes and armor panels deploy for heat dissipation imagery. It includes opening armor sections and a chest jack-up mechanism that exposes a spherical cockpit. A dedicated base with catapult-like parts allows display in the launch scene pose, and the set includes work arms, worker figures, and various beam effect parts. Standard equipment such as a beam rifle, hyper bazooka, vulcan pod system, and shield is included, with original arrangement options like attaching a launcher to the beam rifle or converting it to a short-barrel specification. The product uses ABS, PVC, and die-cast materials, and features light-up gimmicks in the body and base.
Preorders opened on August 27, 2026, the same day Bandai Spirits opened reservations for other Tamashii Nations items, including two METAL ROBOT Soul figures from the Gundam x hololive collaboration. The Mk-II was displayed at the Bandai / BANDAI SPIRITS booth at TOKYO TOY SHOW 2026. Social media reactions captured by Magmix show fans expressing excitement, with comments like "It's finally going on sale," and divided opinions on whether the 137,500 yen price is expensive or restrained, indicating the top-tier brand's pricing is a key point of debate.
