The non-scale assembly kit stands approximately 140mm tall and uses five colored runners: red, yellow, gray, beige, and clear black, allowing builders to recreate the in-show appearance through assembly alone. Included accessories are the Guren Boomerang, a drill, and interchangeable hand parts, with joints that offer a wide range of motion for recreating scenes from the series. By swapping the head parts, the kit can also reproduce the Lagann form. The product is priced at 4,500 yen including tax, with reservations open from August 6, 2026, to September 16, 2026, and shipping scheduled for December 2026. Orders placed during the reservation period at the official Good Smile Company shop are guaranteed delivery, with a purchase limit of three units per person. The kit can be displayed alongside the separately sold Nendoroid Simon figure, and the Gurren Lagann Head Display Base and expression parts from that figure are exchangeable with this model.","whyItMatters":"This second re-release signals sustained demand for the deformed-style Gurren Lagann kit, which continues to pair with the separately sold Nendoroid Simon for cross-product display.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe MODEROID Gurren Lagann kit was designed by Masakazu Owa of MO Craft, who handled the 3D modeling and design.

The five colored runners are arranged so that the finished model matches the series appearance straight out of the box. The interchangeable hand parts and joint articulation are intended to support dynamic poses, and the head part swap to the Lagann form adds a second display option without additional parts.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood Smile Company positions the kit as a companion piece to the Nendoroid Simon figure, which is sold separately.
