TOKYO — Bandai Spirits will release an Entry Grade 1/144 Wing Gundam in October 2025 to mark the 30th anniversary of “Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,” the company announced on its official Gundam portal. The kit was listed among new items slated for the October–December window in a June 5 update. Gundam Info
Entry Grade Build Targets First-Time Modelers
Bandai positions Entry Grade as a beginner-friendly line built around fast, frustration-free assembly. Official materials for recent EG releases describe touch-gate runners that let many parts be removed by hand, wide-range articulation despite a low part count and color separation designed to minimize sticker use—features that carry across the series and define its out-of-the-box polish.

Classic Loadout, Streamlined Silhouette
Wing Gundam’s iconic rifle-and-shield profile is the centerpiece of Bandai’s anniversary push, with the TV design’s lean lines, shoulder fins and V-fin that defined the 1995 broadcast. The Entry Grade approach aims to capture that look with fewer parts and cleaner seams, prioritizing ease of posing once the build is complete, according to Bandai’s long-running EG briefings.

Poseability First
While Bandai has yet to publish the full technical breakdown for the Wing release, the Entry Grade playbook emphasizes sturdy joints and simplified construction so new builders can hit dynamic poses without wrestling tiny mechanisms. That philosophy is consistent across EG entries highlighted on the official portal. Gundam Info
What’s in the Box
Bandai has not posted a finalized parts list for the Wing kit at publication time. Based on EG series standards, expect color-separated runners, a polycap-free joint system tailored for quick assembly and illustrated instructions suitable for first-time builders. The brand’s recent EG write-ups also point to minimal sticker use and hand-friendly touch-gates. Gundam Info
Price and Availability
Bandai’s announcement places Entry Grade Wing Gundam among products going on sale beginning in October 2025 as part of the anniversary program. An official MSRP was not included in the June post; Bandai typically publishes prices on the Bandai Hobby Site and Gundam.info product pages closer to release. Gundam Info
Why It Matters
“Gundam Wing” introduced a generation of viewers to the franchise in 1995. An Entry Grade treatment lowers the barrier to entry for new hobbyists while giving longtime fans a quick, display-ready build tied directly to the 30th-anniversary campaign Bandai has been rolling out across its official channels in 2025.

Buying Advice for New Builders
Plan a first session of about an hour for runner inspection, part removal and a dry fit. Nippers aren’t strictly required with EG touch-gates, but basic cutters and a sanding stick will help clean up gates for repeated posing. Builders who want extra pop can add panel lining and a clear topcoat later without repainting the entire kit—an approach Bandai frequently spotlights when introducing EG models. Gundam Info
The Bottom Line
The Entry Grade Wing Gundam arrives as a timely, approachable build during the series’ milestone year: a familiar silhouette, modern snap-fit engineering and an official October window that keeps the anniversary front and center. Gundam Info
