Across the nine stories, the Strike Gundam appears as a recurring subject for Bandai Spirits, with most coverage centering on model kit and figure products rather than the anime itself. The recent throughline is the breadth of formats: the Strike Gundam anchors the first lineup of GUNDAM XMX, a new Gunpla brand for China, where it leads as a six-type blind box at 59.9 yuan with kits about 11cm tall. It also gets a METAL BUILD ENGINEERING EDITION figure, a monotone and transparent-finish version at about 180mm and 19,800 yen, set to go on sale first at GUNDAM-Con2027 SIDE MAKUHARI from January 9 to 11, 2027, with Premium Bandai sales planned later.
Other product lines place the Strike Gundam in different roles. Banpresto's Genkitoppa prize figure series adds a roughly 28cm Strike Gundam rolling out to game centers and amusement facilities from September 25, 2026. Three Entry Grade Ukiyo-e Package Ver. kits, including the Strike Gundam at 1,430 yen, release on August 29, 2026, with ukiyo-e style packaging and Japanese pattern stickers. The FW GUNDAM CONVERGE CORE Strike Gundam FULL WEAPON SET returns as a Premium Bandai exclusive second shipment in February 2027, with Sword and Launcher Striker Packs and Perfect Strike parts, and its Striker Packs are compatible with the Eclipse Gundam from FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #26.
Coverage also includes reprints and a separate figure line. Premium Bandai's December 2026 reprint batch includes the Real Grade GAT-X105 Strike Gundam Deactive Mode and other kits, with prices starting at 1,870 yen. A G-FRAME FA figure of the Destiny Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny is a Premium Bandai exclusive at 6,545 yen, shipping March 2027, with simultaneous orders for the Destiny Gundam SpecII. That last story is about the Destiny Gundam, not the Strike Gundam, and the Strike Gundam does not appear in it.

BANDAI SPIRITS is releasing three new Gunpla in its ENTRY GRADE series with ukiyo-e themed packaging and Japanese-pattern stickers. The RX-78-2 Gundam, Wing Gundam, and Strike Gundam all arrive on Saturday, August 29, 2026. Each kit features the series' signature touch gate design, allowing parts to be snapped off the runner by hand without nippers, and a snap-fit design that requires no adhesive. This makes the kits suitable for first-time builders. The color-coded parts produce a color scheme close to the box art when assembled. Newly included Japanese-pattern stickers let builders recreate the ukiyo-e style paint depicted on the packaging. The RX-78-2 Gundam and Strike Gundam are priced at 1,430 yen each including tax, while the Wing Gundam is 1,760 yen including tax. All three kits are 1/144 scale and include their respective weapons and a shield. BANDAI SPIRITS markets the ukiyo-e packaging as a possible souvenir for overseas customers, adding a traditional Japanese design element to the model kits. The Wing Gundam's packaging features an innovative Japanese design with wings spread when displayed on a separately sold action base.
