MINIPLA Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity Kit 01 Announced by Bandai Candy

Get Ready for an Interdimensional Mecha Banger!

If you’re a fan of classic tokusatsu, especially the metal hero series from the 80s, you know that Space Sheriff Gavan holds a special place in history. Bandai Candy, through its MINIPLA series, is honoring this legacy by dropping a new model kit from the reimagined series: Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity. The latest release, officially titled “Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity Kit 01 Cosmo Gavarion GC-R & Gavarion Crane & Gavarion Laser,” is set to be released in March 2026, and it looks like an absolute must-cop for collectors.

This new project is a reimagining of the 1982 classic, but with a fresh twist for modern audiences. The story takes place across a multiverse, where multiple Earths exist, each protected by the Galactic Federation Police. The protagonist, Reiji Dōjō, serves as the current Gavan Infinity. His unique ability allows him to cross dimensions, teaming up with other versions of Gavan and police forces in different universes to hunt down intergalactic criminals. This multiversal setup is where the new mecha concept truly shines!

In the *Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity* universe, Gavan’s transformation device isn’t just a simple henshin sequence. It’s an all-in-one piece of tech that transforms into a weapon, a spaceship, and a massive robot! The different Gavan variants specialize in different fighting styles, so the core unit changes its configuration depending on the mission. This MINIPLA release captures that modular concept perfectly.

The core of this new kit is the Cosmo Gavarion GC-R. This is the main body that serves as the foundation for the spaceship and robot modes. It’s accompanied by two accessory units: the Gavarion Crane and the Gavarion Laser. The focus on modularity here is fantastic for collectors who love to customize their displays. Bandai Candy clearly understands that we want to mix and match.

This new Cosmo Gavarion GC-R isn’t just a re-release either. The article notes that compared to the version included in the previous “First Kit,” this new GC-R boasts more intricate parts and enhanced articulation. To complete the full mecha, you’ll need to collect all four separate boxes labeled A, B, C, and D. Once assembled, it can transform between three modes: the Gavarion Trigger weapon mode, the spaceship mode, and the robot mode. The best part? It’s compatible with all the previously released accessories in the line.

The accessory units—Gavarion Crane and Gavarion Laser—are sold separately as part of the new kit series. Each unit transforms on its own and comes with additional parts, including a corresponding head, right chest armor, and “emotion battery” components. These parts are designed to be swapped onto the Cosmo Gavarion GC-R, allowing you to create different robot forms with various armaments. And yes, a detail that many fans will appreciate: the Gavarion Drill and Gavarion Saber from the previous “First Kit” are also fully compatible with this new core unit. It’s a collector’s dream for customization.

This new MINIPLA release for *Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity* truly captures the spirit of classic transforming heroes while updating it for a new generation. The attention to detail and the modular play pattern make this a significant entry in the MINIPLA lineup.
