Gunpla Release Calendar 2026–2027: Every Confirmed Kit by Month

Updated October 20, 2026. Every kit below is a confirmed Bandai general release. Months are Japan release months from Bandai's official Hobby Site; North American arrival is usually a few weeks to a couple of months later. We update this calendar as Bandai announces new kits.

2026 has been a strong year for Gunpla: the GQuuuuuuX line kept growing, Hathaway got its big HG kits, After War Gundam X picked up new HGs for its 30th anniversary, and Bandai capped the Master Grade side with a Full Armor ZZ Ver.Ka. 2027 brings three new Gundam titles, each with new HG kits. Here is the full calendar month by month, starting with what is coming next.

How to plan your builds

• Pre-order the kits you really want. Popular general-release kits can sell out in Japan within days of release (the HG Gundam Leopard did this year), and restocks take time.
• Expect North American dates to trail Japan. Our product pages show the current estimated arrival for each kit.
• Follow a series. GQuuuuuuX, Hathaway and Gundam X each got several kits this year that display well together.
