Gundam Gqux Metal Robot Spirits Xavier's Custom Gyan

In early 2026, Bandai appears to have largely wrapped up the Gundam Gqux series, but not before giving one of its standout mobile suits the premium treatment. The Gyan Xavier Custom is getting the Metal Robot Spirits (MRS) release and as expected, it’s a P-Bandai exclusive. The price is nothing to scoff at, suggesting Bandai is making the most of the IP before moving on. Scheduled for July 2026, the MRS Gyan Xavier Custom will retail for 26,000 yen.

If the original Gyan felt somewhat underrated in the Universal Century anime, Gqux certainly gave this Gelgoog rival more time to shine. Loosely inspired by the High Mobility Gyan variant, the Gqux version is portrayed as a high-performance elite mobile suit capable of taking down the formidable Big Zam Mobile Armor through coordinated attacks. In the series, one of the Gyans is piloted by Xavier Olivette, a young and promising Zeon pilot occasionally naïve, but ultimately dedicated and full of potential.

That said, 26,000 yen is a steep asking price for a Metal Robot Spirits release of the Gyan, especially when the much larger Gqux Mobile Armor, Kikeroga, is priced at around 32,000 yen. While the Gqux redesign of the Gyan is undeniably sleek and impressive, the cost may give collectors pause.

At this rate, Bandai could very well give G-Fred the Metal Robot Spirits treatment next, squeezing out a bit more momentum from Gqux before shifting focus to the next Gundam project.
