The Gundam 45th Anniversary x Hatsune Miku collab is official, and it features Miku-themed Gunpla kits
Lots of Miku x Gundam-themed merch were also revealed!
Following its initial reveal a couple of months ago, the Gundam 45th Anniversary x Hatsune Miku has officially been revealed. This collab is a special one as it features two of Japan’s most popular IPs, so it makes sense that the collab features a lot of impressive merch for fans to collect.
The complete details were revealed on Gundam Info and the collab’s official website. There, a bunch of eye-catching merch were revealed along with some special artwork.
Before we give a rundown of all the merch though, here’s a new music video for the song “Idol Senshi (feat. Hatsune Miku).” This video is a must-watch for Gundam fans as it features various callbacks to Gundam theme songs over the years.

Next, here are the special illustrations made for the collab. These include artworks by notable artists, including neco, 手島nari, and others. These illustrations feature Miku in creative interpretations of various mobile suits.
The most exciting part of the collab for fans though is the collection of merch. Yes, there will be new model kits, including a Real Grade 1/144 MS-06S Zaku II [Hatsune Miku Ver.] Gunpla which features Miku’s signature colors. There’s also the MS Strike Freedom Gundam Type II figure under the Tamashii Nations brand. More mobile suit model kits will also be released, though they have yet to be revealed.
Aside from mobile suits, there are also Gundam x Hatsune Miku figures, including the Lucrea Hatsune Miku x Wing Gundam Zero EW and Lucrea Hatsune Miku x OO Gundam.
An array of merch featuring the Miku x Gundam illustrations will be released soon. These include a Bandai Gashapon line of keyrings, t-shirts, acrylic stands, and many more.
Finally, there will be a Hatsune Miku x Gundam Digital Live concert, along with a fan art contest, and collaborations with Taiko no Tatsujin and Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost.
More details on the release dates of the new merch, game collabs, and concert will be shared soon.
