About Gundam

An Awesome Range of Gundam Model Kits

Mobile Suit Gundam is a science fiction Japanese animated TV series (anime) from the iconic franchise originally created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, with a huge following in Australia and around the world. It features giant robots that are piloted by humans. These robots are called Gundams!

The franchise is now a pop culture icon and has created a line of buildable action figures called GunPla, short for Gundam plastic models. If you are into model building, our Gundam models will be a great addition to your collection. Building GunPla kits is a satisfying hobby for many. Check our stock now! Our selection includes classic and new lines from the Cosmic Era and the Universal Century Timeline.

Explore the Gundam Universe with Gundam Toys

Because Gundam models are buildable toys, they encourage creativity, dexterity, attention to detail, and adherence to instructions. Gundam toys are considered to be one of the more popular collectables for young adults, especially among the “geek” crowd.

Collecting Gundam toys encourages social interaction and participation in a community. People with the same interest are likely to congregate in groups, whether online or offline, and share tips and trivia about their beloved toy collection.

Grades of Gundam Plastic Kits or GunPla Kits

Gunpla kits come in various grades – including entry grade Gundam (EG kits), high grade Gundam (HG kits), master grade Gundam (MG kits), perfect grade Gundam (PG kits), real grade Gundam (RG kits), and super deformed Gundam (SD kits). Each grade varies in size, complexity, skill level, articulation, and detail, with PG kits having the extra details and plastic parts. SDs are chibi-style representations of Gundam Mobile Suits.

Beginner-Friendly Gundam Kits

  • Start with entry grade, super deformed, and high grade kits as they are simpler and require minimal tools.

  • Follow the instruction manual, cut parts carefully from the runners, and then piece them together.

Intermediate to Advanced Gundam Kits

  • Intermediate kits include master grade kits and real grade kits, which offer more complexity and surface detail.

  • Perfect grade kits are the highest grade line of Gundam models, and feature advanced technology and more interchangeable parts.

  • These kits require more experience and skill, but offer more realistic and detailed models.

Note that different models, such as the Figure Rise Standard Freedom Gundam, can be available in multiple grades, including LED lighting kits with advanced MS joints, metal joints, and inner frames.

Painting and Customising Your Gundam Kit

  • Painting is optional, as kits come pre-coloured, but can be used to customise or achieve a specific look.

  • Acrylic or enamel hobby paints are recommended, along with proper priming.

  • Techniques like panel lining, using decals, weathering, and top-coating can enhance the realism of the model.

Displaying Your Gundam Model

  • Display your finished model on a shelf or in a display case to showcase your work.

  • Consider adding a diorama or background to enhance the display.

  • You can also use display-only models, such as those from the HY2M line, to create a unique display.
