Grandista Mega Man Metallic Version Due in 2026

UPDATE: Now available to preorder from Big Bad Toystore; ships April 2026.

Bandai’s popular Grandista Mega Man figure appears to be getting a new coat of paint. A low res image of a metallic variant has surfaced on Weibo, My Figure Collection, and various figure pages in the last few hours. While this seems to be an early leak ahead of an official announcement from Bandai, initial details suggest the figure is slated for release in March 2026.

The original Grandista figure debuted in Japan in 2020 as a redemption prize before later seeing individual releases in North America and overseas. While it’s still available from select retailers, new stock appears to have dried up some time ago, making this new version seem poised to take its place.
