The official box art for the HG 1/144 Geara Doga (Heavy Armed Type), currently announced as a GUNDAM SIDE-F exclusive.
Bandai Spirits has just dropped a heavy-hitter for Neo Zeon fans. The HG 1/144 Geara Doga (Heavy Armed Type) has been officially revealed, and it looks incredible. But before you rush to your favorite import site, we need to talk about where it’s being sold—and why US fans shouldn't panic just yet.
The "Heavy" Details
Scheduled for release on January 10, 2026, this kit represents a beefed-up variation of the classic HGUC masterpiece. The star of the show is undeniably the Lange Bruno Gun. According to the official release, Bandai isn't just reusing old parts. Here is what makes this kit a "Level 1" interest for builders:
- New Mold Backpack: Specifically designed to support the heavy armament.
- Textured Barrel: The Lange Bruno Gun features a special processing finish to give the barrel a realistic, textured metal look right out of the box.
- Articulation: The cannon folds for storage, and the kit includes a unique blade antenna and a fully movable mono-eye.
The 'Heavy Armed Type' variation of the classic HGUC Geara Doga is a heavy-hitter for Neo Zeon fans.
The Catch: It’s a GUNDAM SIDE-F Exclusive (For Now)
Currently, this kit is announced as a GUNDAM SIDE-F exclusive (Fukuoka, Japan). Typically, these location-based exclusives are the hardest for international fans to acquire without paying massive scalper fees on eBay. However, we believe a P-Bandai USA drop is imminent.
The P-Bandai USA Prediction
If you’ve been following the pattern, Bandai has been heavily pushing Char's Counterattack (CCA) and Beltorchika's Children content to the Western audience. In the US and UK, "Grunt" suits and military-style designs sell incredibly well. Look at the precedents:
- The HG Psycho Doga: Originally a SIDE-F exclusive, it eventually made its way to P-Bandai USA.
- The RG RX-93ff ν Gundam: Another Fukuoka native that saw wider distribution via Premium Bandai and convention booths in the West.
The newly molded backpack allows the Lange Bruno Gun to fold for compact storage.
Kit Contents & Features
To deliver a comprehensive build experience, the HG 1/144 Geara Doga (Heavy Armed Type) includes the new mold backpack, the iconic Lange Bruno Gun with a textured barrel, beam machine gun, beam sabers, and shield.
The set offers a comprehensive build experience with multiple weapons.
Featuring a fully movable mono-eye and articulation that allows for impressive posing.
While we wait for the Heavy Armed type to hit US shores, remember that you can't have a commander unit without a squad. The base HGUC Geara Doga is still widely available and remains a must-build for any collection.
