The official Bandai product information lists the HG 1/144 Gundam Leopard as a new 2026 HG release, with a Japanese release date of August 8, 2026.
The HG 1/144 Gundam Leopard box features the heavily armed mobile suit from After War Gundam X in an aggressive combat pose.
The artwork emphasizes the Gundam Leopard's defining characteristic: its enormous collection of integrated firearms.
Unlike traditional Gundam designs that rely heavily on external weapons, the Leopard is designed around a heavy-firepower concept, with weapons built directly into the body, arms, legs, shoulders, and backpack.
The box artwork highlights the mobile suit's distinctive blue, gray, white, and yellow color scheme while showcasing its numerous deployed weapons.
The large Inner Arm Gatling mounted on the backpack is particularly prominent, immediately identifying the Gundam Leopard as one of the most heavily armed mobile suits from After War Gundam X.
The HG 1/144 Gundam Leopard brings the iconic heavy-firepower mobile suit from After War Gundam X into Bandai's latest HG lineup.
This new kit uses a modern HG engineering format to reproduce the Gundam Leopard's distinctive proportions, extensive weapon systems, and numerous opening mechanisms.
The finished model features the recognizable blue, gray, white, red, and yellow color scheme of the Gundam Leopard.
One of the most impressive aspects of the model is the sheer number of integrated weapons visible across the body.
The Breast Gatling, Shoulder Missiles, Hornet Missiles, leg-mounted weapons, and other weapon hatches can be opened to reproduce the Gundam Leopard's fully armed configuration.
The kit also features a transforming Inner Arm Gatling mechanism. The large Gatling weapon mounted on the backpack can transform and connect with the left arm for its firing configuration.
This gives the finished model two distinctly different display styles: a relatively compact configuration with the weapons stored, and the fully deployed heavy-firepower configuration with the numerous weapons exposed.
The HG 1/144 Gundam Leopard is a modern 1/144-scale High Grade Gunpla based on the GT-9600 Gundam Leopardfrom After War Gundam X.
Piloted by Roybea Loy, the Gundam Leopard is a heavily armed mobile suit designed around overwhelming firepower.
Its design incorporates weapons throughout almost every section of the body, giving it a unique appearance compared with more conventional Gundam-type mobile suits.
Bandai has recreated this concept through numerous opening and closing gimmicks.
The chest, shoulders, arms, legs, and other sections feature movable weapon hatches that can be opened to reveal the Gundam Leopard's extensive arsenal.
The kit's most distinctive mechanical feature is the Inner Arm Gatling.
Stored on the backpack, this large weapon can transform and connect with the left arm, recreating the characteristic firing configuration of the Gundam Leopard.
The modern HG construction also provides improved articulation, allowing the heavily armed mobile suit to be displayed in dynamic firing and combat poses.
The Inner Arm Gatling is one of the most recognizable weapons of the Gundam Leopard.
Mounted on the backpack when stored, the weapon can transform into its firing configuration and connect with the left arm.
The transformation and connection mechanism are reproduced through the kit's movable parts, allowing the weapon to transition between its stored and deployed states.
When deployed, the large Gatling gives the Gundam Leopard an especially imposing appearance and emphasizes its role as a heavy-firepower mobile suit.
This is one of the key mechanical highlights of the new HG kit.
The Gundam Leopard's characteristic Breast Gatling weapons are reproduced on the chest.
The weapon hatches can be opened and closed, allowing builders to choose between a clean armored configuration and the fully armed combat configuration.
When all of the weapon systems are deployed simultaneously, the chest becomes an important part of the Gundam Leopard's distinctive heavy-firepower silhouette.
The shoulder-mounted missile systems are equipped with opening gimmicks.
The missile hatches can be opened to expose the weapons underneath, allowing the Gundam Leopard to be displayed with its shoulder missile systems ready for combat.
These opening mechanisms contribute significantly to the kit's transformation from a relatively clean mobile suit into a heavily armed weapons platform.
The Hornet Missile systems are also reproduced with opening and closing mechanisms.
These integrated weapons are another example of the Gundam Leopard's design philosophy: rather than depending entirely on external weapons, much of its firepower is built directly into the mobile suit.
The opening hatches allow builders to display the missiles in their deployed configuration.
One of the biggest attractions of the HG Gundam Leopard is its extensive full-body weapon deployment gimmick.
Multiple weapon compartments throughout the mobile suit can be opened to reveal its extensive arsenal.
When fully deployed, the model takes on the appearance of a heavily armed mobile weapons platform.
This provides builders with two very different display options:
Closed Configuration:
A cleaner mobile suit appearance with the weapon hatches closed.
Fully Armed Configuration:
Multiple weapon compartments opened simultaneously to reproduce the Gundam Leopard's maximum-firepower appearance.
The ability to switch between these configurations adds considerable display flexibility to the kit.
The legs incorporate additional weapon systems and storage mechanisms.
The Gundam Leopard's weapon-heavy design continues down to the lower body, giving the model a distinctive appearance even when viewed from the side or rear.
The Beam Knife can also be stored in the right leg, reproducing the weapon-storage feature of the mobile suit.
A Beam Knife is included as part of the Gundam Leopard's close-combat equipment.
The weapon can be stored in the right leg, keeping the mobile suit's silhouette clean when the weapon is not being used.
This provides the Gundam Leopard with a close-combat option despite its primary focus on heavy ranged firepower.
Although the Gundam Leopard is covered in weapon systems and armor panels, the new HG kit is designed with modern articulation engineering.
The joints allow the mobile suit to achieve a variety of combat poses while maintaining the large amount of weapon equipment across the body.
The combination of movable limbs and deployable weapon systems makes it possible to create dynamic firing poses without sacrificing the Gundam Leopard's characteristic silhouette.
The Gundam Leopard is newly designed using a modern HG format rather than simply reusing an older kit.
Weapons are built into the chest, shoulders, arms, legs, and backpack to reproduce the Gundam Leopard's heavy-firepower concept.
The large backpack-mounted Inner Arm Gatling can transform and connect to the left arm for its firing configuration.
The Inner Arm Gatling can be stored on the backpack when not deployed.
Numerous weapon hatches throughout the body can be opened to create the fully armed configuration.
The chest-mounted Gatling weapons feature an opening and closing gimmick.
The shoulder missile compartments can be opened to reveal the integrated missile systems.
The Hornet Missile compartments also feature opening mechanisms.
Additional weapons are incorporated into the lower body, reinforcing the heavy-armament design.
The Beam Knife can be stored inside the right leg.
The distinctive Gundam Leopard color scheme is reproduced through molded parts and modern HG construction.
Modern HG articulation allows the heavily armed mobile suit to be displayed in a variety of combat poses.
The official Gundam Base product review specifically confirms the Separate Missile Pod and Beam Knife as included accessories.
Note: Display bases shown in promotional or product photography may be sold separately. The Gundam Base specifically notes that the Customize Scene Base (Desert Ver.) is not included.
Bandai and Gundam Base list the kit at ¥2,420 including tax with a Japanese release date of August 8, 2026.
