BANDAI SPIRITS ENTRY GRADE 1/144 GAT-X105 Strike Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Bandai introduces a special release of the ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam, featuring a limited Ukiyo-e themed package design inspired by traditional Japanese woodblock art. This exclusive version also includes newly designed Japanese-style patterned stickers, adding a unique cultural touch to the popular mobile suit from the Gundam series. With its eye-catching packaging and decorative elements, the kit offers both collectors and beginners a distinctive Gunpla building experience.

The model kit comes equipped with the Beam Rifle and Shield, allowing builders to recreate the classic combat style of the Strike Gundam. As part of the Entry Grade lineup, the kit uses bold and efficient part separation, enabling accurate color reproduction simply by assembling the parts. Thanks to the carefully engineered multi-colored plastic pieces, builders can achieve an authentic look straight out of the box without the need for painting.

Designed for ease of assembly, the kit features a well-organized runner layout where parts are grouped by body sections, making the building process more intuitive. The touch-gate system allows parts to be easily removed by hand without using nippers, making the kit highly beginner-friendly. In addition, the torso, arms, and legs are engineered with a wide range of articulation, allowing the Strike Gundam to perform dynamic action poses. Even small details like the camera eye’s black outline are cleverly represented through shadows created by the clearance between parts, enhancing the model’s visual accuracy.

GAT-X105 Strike Gundam: A Versatile Prototype Mobile Suit in the Gundam Series

The GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is one of the prototype mobile suits developed by the Earth Alliance in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Built by the Morgenroete company using advanced technology from the Alliance’s secret mobile suit development program, the Strike Gundam was designed as a highly adaptable combat unit capable of operating in multiple battlefield environments. During the early events of the series, the mobile suit is piloted by Kira Yamato, who uses the Strike Gundam to defend the space colony Heliopolis and later fights in numerous battles throughout the war.

One of the most distinctive features of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam is its Striker Pack system, which allows the mobile suit to equip different combat packs depending on the mission. These include the Aile Striker for enhanced mobility and aerial combat, the Sword Striker for close-range melee attacks, and the Launcher Striker for heavy long-range firepower. This modular equipment system makes the Strike Gundam one of the most versatile mobile suits in Gundam SEED, capable of adapting to various combat situations while maintaining balanced performance in mobility, firepower, and defense.

ENTRY GRADE Gunpla Ukiyo-e Package, A Unique Fusion of Gundam and Traditional Japanese Art

In addition to the special packaging, ENTRY GRADE Ukiyo-e versions typically include new Japanese-style patterned stickers that allow builders to add decorative elements inspired by traditional motifs. These designs complement the mobile suit models while maintaining the recognizable Gundam appearance. The artwork on the box itself often resembles classic Ukiyo-e compositions, making the packaging attractive enough to display alongside the finished model.

Like other kits in the Entry Grade Gunpla line, the Ukiyo-e Package versions are designed to be highly beginner-friendly. They feature the touch-gate system, which allows parts to be removed from the runners easily by hand without using nippers or specialized tools.
