Bandai action figures bring your favourite anime characters to life as authentic, licensed scale models, prop replicas and other collectibles. Limited edition Bandai figures sell out fast, often before the end of their pre-order window, and there's no guarantee of a second release.

As we move into the summer, it's a good time to take a look at some Bandai action figures' new releases in stock at Premium Bandai USA, along with some of those coveted pre-order items for the coming months.

Proplica The Legend of Zelda Master Sword

The Master Sword is a character in its own right in The Legend of Zelda video game series. Since its first appearance in 1991's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, it has featured in most instalments in the franchise.

Proplica The Legend of Zelda Master Sword is an epic replica with an overall length of 105cm (41.3"), a sheath and a display stand, released to coincide with Proplica's 10th anniversary. Special features include built-in sound effects and music from the series, as well as a vibrating function, all accessed via buttons in the hilt and a hidden switch under the handle's end cap.

Attention to detail is fantastic, with embossed Triforce details on the sword and sheath, a dual-textured blade, and textured 'leather' straps, all of which make this a showstopper for any Legend of Zelda fan.

This product is currently out of stock on the Bandai website, but can still be purchased from retailers like Macy's or Target.

In Stock: Soul of Chogokin GX-113 Gundam Tryon 3

Another 10th anniversary piece, this time celebrating a decade of Gundam Build Fighters Try, Soul of Chogokin GX-113 Gundam Tryon 3 is an 8.2" action figure with elements in ABS, PVC and diecast.

It's the first-ever Gundam action figure to appear in Bandai's high-end Soul of Chogokin line, and they've really put in the work to make it worthy of that label.

GX-113 is assembled as a three-unit combination figure with lion, eagle and aircraft mechas that join to create a single super robot with no need for part-swapping. A total of four interchangeable types of hands and an included weapons set mean you can style your mecha the way you want it to look, ready for battle or for display!

S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan 2 Son Goku

Standing at 6.6" tall with an aura that reaches 7.4", S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan 2 Son Goku shows the star of the Dragon Ball series in his powerful Super Saiyan 2 form.

The PVC and ABS design is based on Goku's outfit during his battle against Majin Vegeta and includes three exchangeable facial expressions and four types of exchangeable hands.

Style your Super Saiyan 2 Son Goku figure with clenched fists and gritted teeth, clasped hands with a knowing smirk, or shouting with a choice of outreached arms and hand positions. With a halo element and the unique Electric Shock effects included in the aura backdrop, this Bandai action figure is perfect to put on display for some inspiration and energy whenever you need it in your life.

This figure is no longer available on the Bandai website, but can still be purchased from Kappa Hobby or Amazon.

Pre-order: Gundam MG 1/100 M'Quve's Gouf

The first of three pre-orders that opened on April 23rd is MG 1/100 M'Quve's Gouf from the world of Mobile Suit Gundam.

MS-07B, to use its Mobile Suit Variation designation, was a highly effective but expensive Gouf. A unique baby blue and royal blue unit was customised and assigned to Colonel M'Quve, and that livery is recreated in this kit.

It's a 1:100 scale model, with parts to assemble and no adhesives needed. As part of the Master Grade line, you can expect accurate dimensions and high attention to detail on this stern-looking figure.

Pre-orders close on August 15th 2025 with a September delivery date, but availability is strictly limited, so this is one to secure as soon as possible.

Pre-order: Gundam MG 1/100 MS-06FS Zaku II (Garma Zabi Use)

The second pre-order Gundam figure is MG 1/100 MS-06FS Zaku II (Garma Zabi Use), again available to order until August 15th.

This variation on the MS-06F Zaku II is enhanced for close combat, with the addition of Vulcan guns mounted to the head.

For this 1:100 scale model, the design was based on the unit assigned to Garma Zabi, commander of the Earth Attack Force during the One Year War.

Again, availability is limited, so place your pre-order early to avoid missing out on what is likely to be a very popular Gundam display model.

Pre-order: HG 1/144 Calvary Temple Hellmeene

Last in our trio of pre-order Bandai model kits is HG 1/144 Calvary Temple Hellmeene from the Heavy Metal L-Gaim franchise.

Just like the others, pre-orders for this model opened on April 23rd and are set to run until August 15th, with deliveries due in September.

It's a high-grade model built to an accurate 1:144 scale, with two sabers and two power launchers included in the kit. Assembly requires no adhesive once again, so you can get your new Bandai model on display without waiting for the glue to dry!
