Gunpla, a portmanteau of "Gundam" and "Plastic Model", refers to the fascinating model kits produced by the Japanese manufacturer Bandai. These sets are a tribute to the popular Gundam franchise, which was first launched in 1979 with the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam.
Gunpla offers fans the opportunity to build detailed models of the iconic mechas from the series - from the classic RX-78-2 to modern designs such as the Unicorn Gundam or the Barbatos. The models are not only visually impressive, but also highly customizable and movable.
