Gunpla Lineup June 2026: Two Must-Have HG Releases for Every Builder

June 2026 brings exciting new additions for Gunpla fans. From the iconic world of Gundam Wing to the fresh designs of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, Bandai's latest High Grade releases offer plenty to look forward to. With updated engineering, impressive articulation, and standout designs, these new kits are set to become highlights for builders and collectors alike.

This month’s spotlight belongs to HG 1/144 Gundam Sandrock Custom EW and HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ), two highly anticipated kits featuring modern engineering, impressive articulation, and eye-catching designs. If you're planning your next build, these are definitely worth adding to your wishlist.

HG 1/144 Gundam Sandrock Custom EW

After years of requests from Gundam Wing fans, Bandai is finally bringing the iconic Gundam Sandrock Custom EW to the modern HG lineup. The kit was first showcased during the 63rd All-Japan Model & Hobby Show and is scheduled for release on June 6, 2026.

Kit Name: HG 1/144 Gundam Sandrock Custom EW

Key Features

• Newly engineered HG frame for dynamic posing
  
• Signature dual Heat Shotels
  
• Clear effect parts for the heated blade effect
  
• Anti-Beam Coating Cloak made from new soft material
  
• Excellent color separation with minimal sticker usage
  
• Enhanced articulation compared to older Sandrock kits

One of the most exciting aspects is the new soft-material cloak. Unlike rigid plastic capes from older kits, this design allows for more natural posing while maintaining the dramatic Endless Waltz silhouette.

As a Gundam Wing fan, this release feels long overdue. The Sandrock Custom has always been one of the most distinctive Endless Waltz designs thanks to its flowing cloak and knight-like appearance. The updated engineering appears to finally give the suit the mobility it deserves, making it look impressive both on display and in action poses.

This is easily one of the most anticipated HG releases of 2026 for Wing collectors.

HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ)

The second major June release is HG 1/144 Hambrabi (GQ) from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Scheduled for June 26, 2026, this kit brings one of the series' most unique mobile suit designs into the HG lineup.

Release Information

• Sharp and aggressive silhouette
  
• Highly articulated joints
  
• Contemporary GQuuuuuuX styling

The Hambrabi has always stood out due to its unconventional design language, and the GQ version takes that uniqueness even further. Early previews generated significant excitement among Gunpla fans thanks to its distinctive appearance and modern proportions.

This kit feels like one of those releases that will surprise a lot of builders. While Gundam-type mobile suits usually get most of the attention, the Hambrabi (GQ) offers something completely different. The sleek, almost aquatic-inspired design makes it stand out immediately on a display shelf.

For builders looking to add variety to their collection, this may end up being one of the hidden gems of the year.
