Bandai is set to release the gashapon series Mobile Suit Gundam EXCEED MODEL Zaku Head Reboot 1, a unique capsule-less collectible that transforms from a compact spherical shape into a highly detailed Zaku head model from Mobile Suit Gundam. Designed with impressive detail and a satisfying, substantial feel, the series appeals to both anime fans and scale model collectors alike.

This release combines the fun of assembly with the iconic mechanical designs of the Gundam universe. Each model recreates the distinct appearance of a Zaku unit with carefully crafted molding and mechanical detail, making them ideal for display despite their compact gashapon format.

The lineup features four variations: the MS-06S Char’s Zaku II (Real Type Color), MS-06RD-4 High Mobility Prototype Zaku, MS-06R-1A Yuma Lightning’s Zaku II, and the distinctive MS-06V-6 Zaku Tank (Green Macaque). Each version offers its own color scheme and design characteristics, giving collectors a diverse selection of Zaku units to enjoy.

Bandai Mobile Suit Gundam EXCEED MODEL

Bandai’s Mobile Suit Gundam EXCEED MODEL series is a unique line of capsule-toy collectibles that transforms compact gashapon capsules into highly detailed miniature Gundam heads and mecha displays. Designed for both casual fans and dedicated collectors, each model features intricate mechanical sculpting, layered armor details, and articulated components that create a premium appearance despite their small size. The series stands out because the capsule itself becomes part of the final assembly, allowing Bandai to maximize detail and engineering while keeping the products affordable and accessible through Japan’s popular gashapon vending machine culture.

Since its debut, the EXCEED MODEL lineup has expanded to include iconic mobile suits from across the Gundam universe, such as the RX-78-2 Gundam, Zaku II, Unicorn Gundam, and Sazabi. Fans appreciate the balance between simplicity and display quality, as the kits require minimal assembly while still delivering an impressive finished look. The line also appeals to collectors who enjoy customization and compact displays, making it a popular choice for desks, shelves, and Gundam-themed collections. Through the EXCEED MODEL series, Bandai successfully combines creativity, nostalgia, and mechanical design into a collectible experience that captures the essence of the Gundam franchise.
