After War Gundam X's 30th anniversary lineup is expanding beyond its first announced kit. Confirmed via Bandai's official reveal at the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2026 and reported by Gundam.my, the HG 1/144 Gundam Ashtaron was officially confirmed as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of Gundam X, following the Virsago kit's October 2026 target.
This is a confirmed kit with a locked anniversary tie-in, so here's what's included.
Bandai's official Shizuoka Hobby Show 2026 reveal confirms the following:
Announcing Ashtaron alongside Virsago rather than as a standalone kit gives Bandai's 30th anniversary Gundam X lineup a matched pair of mobile suits from the same series, letting collectors build out a more complete After War Gundam X display rather than a single isolated release.
Like Virsago before it, After War Gundam X has received comparatively little modern Gunpla support relative to more mainstream Gundam series, making Ashtaron's confirmation a second meaningful addition for collectors who have been building out this specific series in recent years.
For a completed Ashtaron build, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps it protected alongside a paired Virsago build.
For a raised, matched display of both kits, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.

This HG Gundam Ashtaron gives After War Gundam X fans a second confirmed anniversary kit to pair with Virsago, deepening modern Gunpla support for a comparatively overlooked series. With both kits now confirmed, it's worth planning a matched build.
Having a case and stand ready means both mobile suits will be shelf-ready together once complete.
