GUNDAM ASSEMBLE will bring the world of Mobile Suit Gundam to your tabletop, letting you build, paint, and battle with detailed 5 cm miniatures. If you love the hands-on fun of model kits and the strategy of squad-based games, this is one to watch. Each match is fast-paced and uses terrain for tactical depth, while the miniatures themselves are packed with detail and tie directly into the Gundam universe. Bandai Namco is kicking things off with five products at launch in October 2026, with new releases every month and over 30 items planned in the first year.
Lineup Examples
The GUNDAM ASSEMBLE STARTER SET, priced at $35 MSRP, is set to release in October 2026 and is suitable for ages 15 and up.

- Pick your moves, roll the dice, and outmaneuver your opponent as you fight for victory.
