Gundam Ground Type Joins the Real Grade Gunpla Line
Updated: Aug 25
Bandai has officially revealed the RG 1/144 Gundam Ground Type from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. The new Gunpla is scheduled for release in Japan in February 2027 for ¥4,620, including tax.
Instead of focusing only on additional surface detail, Bandai designed this Real Grade kit around the Ground Type’s battlefield movements. It can reproduce the mobile suit’s iconic kneeling and firing positions, with Bandai claiming it features the cleanest and easiest kneeling pose in RG history.
The Ground Type’s backpack weapon container is also fully functional. Its 180mm cannon separates into four sections and can be stored inside the container, just as it was in the anime. A sliding mechanism extends the internal weapons rack, giving builders another option for maintenance scenes and battlefield displays.
This is the first time the Gundam Ground Type has received the complete Real Grade treatment, making it a significant release for fans of The 08th MS Team. An exact release date, North American price and international preorder schedule have not yet been announced.
