Attention, Gunpla enthusiasts! After over 40 years of consistent pricing, BANDAI SPIRITS is rolling out a price adjustment for select plastic model kits, citing rising costs in materials, packaging, and logistics. 

Starting April 1, 2025, these changes will be introduced gradually to ensure the continuation of the quality and craftsmanship that fans have come to expect. While it’s bittersweet news, it’s a necessary step to keep delivering the iconic kits we love while weathering the challenges of a global economy.

To give you an idea of what to expect, take the beloved HG 1/144 Gundam Barbatos: its price will shift from ¥1,100 to ¥1,320—a 30% INCREASE! 

Whether you’re a seasoned Gunpla builder or just starting your collection, now’s the time to grab your wishlist kits or plan for the changes ahead. Keep an eye on the Bandai Hobby Site for a detailed list of affected products and updated prices. 

This move ensures that your cherished builds will continue to inspire creativity and devotion in the years to come.
