Bandai QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary Gundam Blind Box: What's Inside

What's actually inside each QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary box

How many figures come in one blind box?

Each blind box contains exactly one randomly packed figure. The box is factory sealed, so you won't know which design you've received until you open it. If you want a specific mobile suit, a single box is a gamble by design.

Which mobile suits are in the QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary lineup?

The series lists six designs: RX-78-2 Gundam in a SamSam / Kenny Wong Edition, MS-06S Zaku II in a Kunio Okawara Edition, ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam in an Ashley Wood Edition, RX-78-2 Gundam in a T.I.M.E Collection Edition, XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW in a DOE Edition, and RX-93 ν Gundam in a Metallic Silver Edition. Each carries its own visual identity, from street-art colorways to metallic finishes and retro military-inspired weathering.

How tall is the figure and what is it made of?

Each figure is approximately 3.9 inches (100mm) tall and made of PVC / ABS. That's a desk-display scale rather than a shelf-centerpiece scale, which suits the SD-style proportions.

What age is this recommended for?

The listed recommended age is 15+. This is a collector-oriented figure, not a play toy for young children, and the supplied information does not include child-safety certifications beyond the age recommendation.

The numbers behind the surprise

• Bandai Namco QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary Special Gundam SD Figure Blind Box: Secret S1 Ratio: 6.25% This is the stated chance for the more common secret edition, so it's a meaningful but far-from-guaranteed pull.

  

• Bandai Namco QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary Special Gundam SD Figure Blind Box: Secret S2 Ratio: 1.25% The rarer secret is roughly a one-in-eighty pull per box, which sets realistic expectations before you buy multiple singles.
• Bandai Namco QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary Special Gundam SD Figure Blind Box: Full case contains 8 blind boxes A case is the only way to buy eight figures at once, but it still doesn't guarantee a complete set.

Buying decisions: single box vs. full case

Does a full case guarantee all six designs?

No. The supplied information says hidden editions replace one regular design in randomly packed cases, and duplicates may occur when purchasing single boxes. A case of eight is not a guaranteed complete set, and the case composition can include a secret in place of a regular figure.

How do the secret ratios affect a case purchase?

The stated ratios are 6.25% for Secret S1 and 1.25% for Secret S2. Those are per-box figures as supplied; the listing does not state case-level odds, so don't assume a case automatically contains a secret. Treat the ratios as a guide to rarity, not a promise.

Is the single box or the full case the better value?

The catalog lists the single box at USD 8.00 against a comparison price of USD 15.99, and the full case at USD 64.00 against USD 127.92. If you want to display a set or trade duplicates, the case is the practical route. If you just want one figure for a desk, a single box keeps the spend low and the surprise intact.

Are these authentic Bandai Namco figures?

The listing describes them as authentic licensed collectibles and an official Bandai Namco QMSV MINI release. The series is the 5th Anniversary commemorative edition, which is the main reason the artist collaboration colorways are part of the appeal.

What to expect from the finish and packaging

The QMSV MINI 5th Anniversary series leans on premium SD-style proportions, detailed armor sculpting, and paintwork that ranges from metallic silver to weathered military looks. The listing notes that minor paint variations, packaging wear, or small imperfections may occur during production and shipping, and that promotional images are references rather than exact representations. For a collector, that's normal for a blind-boxed PVC/ABS figure at this scale, but it's worth knowing before you judge a pull against the product photos.

Because the figures are factory sealed and randomized by the manufacturer, the box you receive is the box you open. There's no way to request a specific mobile suit, and the listing explicitly notes that duplicates can happen with single boxes. If matching a particular design matters more than the surprise, the secondary market is the only route the supplied information supports.

Display and care questions

Where should I display a 100mm SD Gundam figure?

At roughly 3.9 inches tall, these suit desk displays, monitor risers, and small shelf spots where a full-scale figure wouldn't fit. The listing positions them for desk displays and collectors, and the SD proportions keep them visually compact.

How should I care for the PVC/ABS finish?

The supplied information does not include a specific cleaning or care procedure, so avoid assuming manufacturer instructions that aren't listed. Keep the figure out of direct sun and handle it by the base where possible; beyond that, follow the packaging insert if one is included.

Can I complete the set by buying singles?

It's possible but inefficient. With six regular designs plus two secret editions that replace a regular design in cases, buying singles means paying the USD 8.00 box price repeatedly and risking duplicates. A full case of eight gives you more figures per dollar, but the listing does not promise a complete set from one case.
