Premium Bandai reopens HG Gundam Naion preorders; ships in November

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — Premium Bandai will reopen reservations today at 11 a.m. Japan time for the HG 1/144 Gundam Naion, the GUND-ARM featured in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury – Vanadis Heart. The second-run batch is priced at ¥3,300 with November delivery in Japan.

Why it matters: PB second runs are often the cleanest route to high-demand variants at list price. Naion’s first offering moved quickly; a renewed window gives builders who missed it another shot without aftermarket premiums.

Front/rear silhouettes confirm the second-run kit keeps the same proportions and equipment as the first offering.

The kit reflects its side-story design brief: clear-black Shell Unit parts across the head, chest, shoulders and legs, with stickers to depict lit and unlit states. The weapons set includes Vajra, the Rinkou (gambit), the Alterable Bayonetta and a beam saber—keeping loadout parity with the first run.

Ordering notes: the Japan portal begins reservations at 11 a.m. JST with a limited allocation warning. Premium Bandai operates local storefronts on separate calendars; the U.S. listing shows a November 2025 ship window on its own schedule.

As with most PB releases, quantities are limited and the window can close early once the allocation fills. Action bases and display effects are sold separately unless noted on regional pages.

For builders tracking Vanadis Heart, this is a straightforward second chance at a screen-accurate kit with the same proportions and equipment—useful for completing side-story lineups alongside mainline Witch from Mercury suits.
