Gundam's 45th anniversary crossover with Hatsune Miku is getting a second dedicated kit. Confirmed via Bandai's official Premium Bandai listing, the RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 Hatsune Miku Ver. ships in May 2026, priced at 4,290 yen and sold exclusively through a lottery system.
This is a confirmed release with a locked price and distribution method, so here's what's included.
Bandai's official listing confirms the following:
Selling exclusively through a lottery rather than standard first-come pre-order means simply having funds ready on release day doesn't guarantee a purchase, so collectors need to actually enter the Premium Bandai lottery window rather than waiting to buy after the fact.
This marks Bandai's second Gundam x Hatsune Miku RG kit, and pairing the re-release with the Gundam 45th anniversary gives both fanbases a fresh reason to chase a colorway that previously sold out during its original run.
For displaying the finished kit's color-swapped detail, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the build protected while remaining fully visible.
For giving it standout shelf presence next to standard RX-78-2 kits, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add clear visual separation.
Selling exclusively through a lottery system helps Bandai manage demand for a crossover kit likely to sell out immediately given both Gundam and Hatsune Miku's large, overlapping fanbases, spreading purchase opportunity more fairly than a first-come, first-served pre-order that would favor the fastest checkout rather than genuine interest.
Timing this second RG Hatsune Miku kit to Gundam's 45th anniversary gives Bandai a natural marketing hook tied to a milestone year, while also giving collectors who missed the original release a second, officially sanctioned chance to acquire the colorway rather than relying on secondary-market markups.
Real Grade kits balance the detail of Master Grade with the more accessible build complexity of High Grade, making this format a practical choice for a crossover release aimed at both dedicated Gunpla builders and Hatsune Miku collectors who may not build model kits as regularly.
Bundling two Beam Sabers, a shield, a bazooka, and a Beam Rifle gives builders enough accessory variety to pose the kit in multiple configurations, extending its display value beyond a single static stance despite the kit's primary appeal resting on its Miku-themed color scheme.
Limited lottery-distributed crossover kits between major franchises like Gundam and Hatsune Miku typically see stronger secondary-market retention than standard-release kits, since the combination of limited availability and dual-fanbase demand keeps interest high well beyond the initial release window.
While Bandai hasn't detailed every specification difference between this Ver.2.0 kit and the original Hatsune Miku Gunpla collaboration, re-releases in this format typically carry updated frame engineering consistent with newer Real Grade standards, giving this version a build experience closer to current RG kits than the original release likely offered.
