The Steel Giant Rises for an Encore
A quiet hum stirs the waterfront once more as Yokohama’s full-scale Gundam inspires a renewed mechanical tribute, with Bandai revisiting the iconic test unit through a refreshed DX Chogokin release. This upcoming pairing brings the RX-78F00/E Gundam (Re:PACKAGE) back into the spotlight with updated markings and revised detailing, while the EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather Unit arrives as a separate expansion, echoing the structural devices used during the real machine’s late-phase demonstrations.
Bandai has announced the DX Chogokin RX-78F00/E Gundam (Re:PACKAGE) alongside the EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather Unit, offering a detailed reinterpretation of the RX-78F00/E and the support equipment designed around the life-sized moving structure in Yokohama. The Re:PACKAGE version presents the mobile suit with revised markings and an updated finish, reflecting the changes implemented during later phases of the Gundam Global Project. The Feather Unit arrives as an independent expansion, representing the G.L.R.S.S. equipment with its characteristic wing-like structural assemblies and mechanical detailing adapted from the demonstrator systems used on-site.
Specifications
The RX-78F00/E Gundam (Re:PACKAGE) is produced in the DX Chogokin format, combining die-cast framing with external armour components that follow the proportions of the full-scale test unit. Its updated livery reflects maintenance-cycle refinements and later operational silhouettes documented during the Yokohama deployment. The articulated frame allows for a broad range of poses, supported by reinforced joints typical of the DX line.
The EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather Unit is modelled after the exterior expansion devices fitted to the structure during various mobility tests. Its construction features multiple articulated connection points intended to replicate the movement patterns of the real demonstrator’s support assemblies.
Accessories / Features
The Re:PACKAGE set includes a dedicated display base, alternate manipulators, and accessory loadout options that correspond to the equipment used during the Gundam’s operational demonstrations. The EX-001 Feather Unit includes its own mounting system, allowing it to be displayed independently or integrated with the main figure. Together, the two releases present a complete visual profile of the late-phase RX-78F00/E and its support technology.
Release Details
Both items are scheduled for release in July 2026. The DX Chogokin RX-78F00/E Gundam (Re:PACKAGE) is priced at 33,000 yen, approximately S$296. The EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather Unit is priced at 22,000 yen, approximately S$197.
