Battle in the Pocket & Iron-Blooded Action: ‘Mobility Joint Gundam Vol. 12’ Revealed!

Mobility Joint Gundam Volume 12 Main Lineup
The heavy-hitting lineup of Mobility Joint Gundam Volume 12 featuring Barbatos, Alex, GM Sniper II, and Kämpfer.

The main lineup for Mobility Joint Gundam Volume 12 includes four iconic Mobile Suits.

The Mobility Joint Gundam series continues to prove that "small" doesn't mean "simple." Bandai has officially pulled the curtain back on Volume 12, featuring a heavy-hitting lineup from Iron-Blooded Orphans and the beloved OVA War in the Pocket. This collection delivers a faithful representation of fan-favorite machines in a compact, highly articulated format.

Scheduled for release in June 2026, this candy toy set offers incredible articulation and a unique "EX Parts" system to upgrade your figures. Whether you are a fan of the brutal combat of the Post-Disaster era or the tragic events of Side 6, this wave has something for every collector.

The Volume 12 Lineup

This wave consists of 4 main mobile suits and 4 dedicated EX expansion sets:

  • Gundam Barbatos (1st Form): Making its debut in the line with its iconic primitive look.
  • Gundam NT-1 "Alex": The hero of 0080.
  • Kämpfer: The terrifying Zeon assault suit.
  • GM Sniper II: A fan-favorite grunt suit known for its precision.

The "EX Parts" Gimmick

The magic of this line lies in the expansion sets. By combining the main suit with its respective EX Parts, you can recreate iconic forms. For example, the Gundam NT-1 Alex can be equipped with its bulky Chobham Armor, providing it with a completely different silhouette and enhanced presence on the shelf.

Combine the main suit with EX Parts to equip the Chobham Armor.

Furthermore, these sets boost the weaponry of the Barbatos, Kämpfer, and GM Sniper II to their full combat potential. The system utilizes a common internal frame that ensures high posability despite the "Super Deformed" aesthetic proportions.
