BANDAI SPIRITS 1/144 ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX 78 2 Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] from Mobile Suit Gundam Series

Bandai has announced a special edition Gunpla kit inspired by the legendary anime Mobile Suit Gundam. The ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] is set to release, offering fans and collectors a unique version of the iconic mobile suit with traditional Japanese artistic elements.

This special edition features the popular ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam model kit presented in a limited Ukiyo-e style package design. The packaging highlights classic Japanese woodblock art aesthetics, giving the model a distinctive collector’s appeal that blends Gundam’s futuristic design with traditional Japanese culture.

The kit also includes newly designed Japanese pattern stickers, allowing builders to decorate the Gundam with elegant traditional motifs. These additional details enhance the visual uniqueness of the model while maintaining the recognizable design of the RX-78-2.

As part of the ENTRY GRADE series, the model is designed to be extremely beginner-friendly. It uses a touch-gate system, which allows parts to be easily removed from the runners by hand without the need for tools such as nippers. This makes the kit accessible even for first-time Gunpla builders.

Despite its easy assembly, the model still delivers impressive articulation. The wide range of motion enables builders to recreate dynamic poses from Mobile Suit Gundam or create their own action displays. Additionally, the color-separated parts ensure that the Gundam’s signature details are accurately reproduced straight out of the box without requiring paint.

With its combination of easy assembly, strong articulation, and a beautiful Ukiyo-e themed package, the ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam [Ukiyo-e Package Ver.] is expected to become a popular collectible for both Gunpla beginners and long-time Gundam fans.


RX-78-2 Gundam: The Iconic Mobile Suit of the Gundam Series

The RX-78-2 Gundam is one of the most iconic Mobile Suit (MS) units in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and serves as the main combat machine of the Earth Federation during the One Year War. Developed as part of the Federation’s RX-78 Gundam Project, the RX-78-2 was designed as a high-performance prototype mobile suit to counter the powerful machines deployed by the Principality of Zeon. Piloted primarily by the young Newtype ace Amuro Ray, the RX-78-2 quickly became famous on the battlefield for its exceptional combat performance and advanced technology compared to mass-produced units of the time.

Equipped with versatile weapons such as the Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, Hyper Bazooka, and a durable Gundarium alloy armor, the RX-78-2 Gundam demonstrated overwhelming superiority in many battles throughout the series. Its balanced design, combining strong firepower, mobility, and defensive capabilities, made it a revolutionary mobile suit that influenced many later Gundam units in the franchise timeline. Because of its legendary status and role in shaping the Gundam universe, the RX-78-2 Gundam remains one of the most recognizable and celebrated mobile suits in anime history.

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

The ENTRY GRADE Gunpla Ukiyo-e Package series is a special edition lineup from Bandai that combines the world of Gundam plastic models (Gunpla) with the beauty of traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e art style.

By blending modern mecha design with historical Japanese art, the Ukiyo-e Package series offers a fresh and collectible presentation for both Gunpla enthusiasts and fans of Japanese culture.

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. The kits also utilize excellent color separation, meaning builders can achieve an accurate look simply by assembling the parts without painting. Combined with solid articulation and simple construction, the ENTRY GRADE Gunpla Ukiyo-e Package series provides an accessible yet visually distinctive Gunpla experience for both new builders and longtime collectors.
