MG Freedom and Providence Gundam reissues: white plating meets pearl gray

Freedom’s white plating and Providence’s pearl-gray armor are returning in two MG 1/100 reissues from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. HOBBY Watch reported on October 29, 2026 that BANDAI SPIRITS had scheduled reservations on Japan’s Premium Bandai to start at 11 a.m. JST that day, with both kits planned to ship in January 2027.

Freedom pairs white plating with a five-beam barrage

The MG 1/100 Freedom Gundam Ver.2.0 Full Burst Mode Special Coating Ver. uses white plating on its white exterior armor. The navy, blue and red parts use metallic molded colors, giving the wings and body a different finish from the plated armor.

Its Full Burst beam effects come in a special glitter-clear color, with five pieces in three shapes. An angle-adjustable stand in navy clear supports the display, while special waterslide decals add silver- and red-foil markings.

Providence spreads the attack across 11 DRAGOON units

The MG 1/100 Providence Gundam [Special Coating] combines metallic molded gray armor with a pearl finish. Its navy sections receive an Extra Finish treatment, while yellow details use matte-gold plating. Black plating covers the chest, parts of the head armor and the beam rifle.

For a deployed DRAGOON display, the kit includes deployment-effect parts and arms for all 11 units, plus enough clear-green beam effects for every DRAGOON. A clear ZAFT-emblem base and special waterslide decals are also included.

Both displays start with a build

The announced Japanese prices, including tax, are ¥11,770 for Freedom and ¥14,080 for Providence. The published photos show painted development prototypes, so the actual products may differ. Both are 1/100-scale plastic model kits that require assembly, rather than finished figures.
