The kit, named MGSD Wing Gundam Zero EW [Structural Coating/Black], changes all outer armor to black and gray molded colors. Internal parts use Structural Coating, a process that creates iridescent colors visible through gaps in the dark armor, similar to the surface of soap bubbles or CDs. The effect varies by viewing angle, and no two kits will have the same finish due to the processing. The wings have a five-layer structure with individual articulation, and when deployed, they expose internal structural coating plating and clear parts with reflection-cut processing. The kit includes a shield, twin buster rifle, and beam saber, and can transform into Neo Bird mode via part replacement. Pre-orders open on Premium Bandai on July 24, 2026, at 12:00 JST. The price is 12,100 yen (tax included), with shipment scheduled for November 2026.","whyItMatters":"This is the first Gunpla to use Structural Coating technology, which produces a unique, non-repeating iridescent finish that could set a new standard for special-edition model kits.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDengeki Hobby Web and Inside both report the kit is part of the MGSD (Master Grade SD) series, which adapts MG-level construction into SD-scale proportions.
