TOKYO — Premium Bandai will reissue the MG 1/100 Tallgeese Flügel EW model kit for the United States market, with preorders now open and shipments scheduled for December 2025, according to the company’s official U.S. storefront.
What’s Happening
The Tallgeese Flügel EW, first released in October 2021 as a Premium Bandai exclusive, is being offered again as part of a limited, made-to-order run. The U.S. listing shows a retail price of $84 with a December delivery window. Orders are accepted only while supplies last, and the company has stated in its customer newsletter that allocations can close early once the quota is met.
Why It Matters
The reissue comes during the 30th anniversary of “Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,” the anime that introduced the Tallgeese design to fans worldwide. Anniversary promotions have helped drive interest in Wing-era kits, and limited-run Premium Bandai releases have a history of selling out quickly, leading to inflated resale prices.
Background
The Tallgeese Flügel EW is a variation from the “Glory of the Losers” manga continuity, featuring design work by mechanical designer Hajime Katoki. The model’s unique features include newly molded wing binders with an eagle emblem, a distinctive head crest, and exclusive close-combat weapons — the heat lance and heat halberd. It also comes with a waterslide decal sheet designed by Katoki.
Details
The MG 1/100 kit uses the Master Grade frame introduced with the standard Tallgeese EW, incorporating specialized molding for the Flügel’s weapons and armor. Hobby news outlets have noted that the variant’s combination of ornate wings and unique armament make it a standout among Wing-era Master Grades.
What’s Next
Premium Bandai said customers should monitor its U.S. website and email updates for changes to shipping dates or potential second-wave offerings. In the past, popular exclusives have seen additional preorder periods if demand remained high.
