BGM, a Chinese brand new to this site, follows its Shōwa 5th Type set with the Imperial Japanese Army’s Type 3 uniform — the 1943 pattern, cut like the earlier Type 98 but made to wartime-economy standards — in the BGM-016. It comes in two versions, A and B, and both are uniform-and-gear sets — the head sculpt and body are not included — aimed at collectors who already have a 1/6 body to dress.

The package

The A version is the khaki field configuration, with the same field kit as the BGM-015A: a heat-resistant shirt, raincoat, leggings (puttees) and short boots, plus a mosquito-repellent mask and mosquito-proof gloves, a towel, and a helmet with liner and cover under a field cap. The boots are made of genuine leather.

The B version is the olive-green service configuration: the Type 3 service tunic worn open over a white shirt with a belt and ribbon bars, a summer shirt, breeches, and tall long boots, with a pith helmet (listed as a cool hat) among the headgear options. The flat lay shows the full B kit — both shirts, the service tunic and breeches, the helmet set, the pith helmet, gloves, towel, belt and long boots.

Availability

Domestic listings price each version at ¥499 with a pre-order cutoff of 14 November 2026 and a Q2 2027 release. Overseas, EKIA lists both versions at $119.96 (down from $124.99) with no pre-order cutoff shown, and EKIA’s own release estimate is 31 July 2027 — later than the domestic Q2 window, so the two dates are stated side by side rather than settled here.

More from BGM

BGM arrives with two releases at once — the BGM-016 Type 3 here and the BGM-015 Shōwa 5th Type, the 1930 pattern, covered separately on this site. The two sets share the same field-kit contents in their A versions; what changes is the uniform pattern itself.
