SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — Premium Bandai will reopen reservations today at 11 a.m. Japan time for the HG 1/144 Graham’s Union Flag Custom II, better known as the GN Flag. The second-run batch is priced at ¥2,200 with delivery slated for November in Japan.

Why it matters: PB second runs are often the last easy path to high-demand variants without aftermarket markups. The GN Flag is a fan-facing rival suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 that sold briskly on its first offering; reopening orders gives latecomers a chance to secure one at list price.

Front-and-back silhouettes underscore the variant’s lean proportions.

Feature set lands squarely on show accuracy. The visor can be deployed, and the design reproduces the GN Drive’s relocation from the back to the left shoulder—key for screen-correct silhouettes and saber-draw poses. The weapons loadout includes a GN beam saber, plasma sword and linear rifle; effect parts for the plasma sword are called out on official materials.

Weapons set includes plasma-sword effect, GN beam saber and linear rifle.

On schedule and scope, the preorder window begins at 11 a.m. JST for Japan, with November shipment listed for this second batch. Premium Bandai portals in other regions operate on their own calendars; the U.S. product page lists a November ship window at a dollar price point, and Hong Kong shows an autumn delivery.

Quantities are limited typical of PB runs, and order windows commonly close when allocations fill. Compatible action bases and any display effects are sold separately unless otherwise noted on the regional listing.

Bandai Spirits’ online pages and trade coverage are aligned on timing, price and the highlighted articulation/weapon details. The company’s PB listings serve as the formal statement; further comments were not immediately available at publication.
