2,000 different types
Over the past 35 years, Bandai has released approximately 2,000 different types of Gunpla models. The company has all of the molds used so far in storage at the hobby center and nearby warehouses. As such, Bandai can bring back and use these old molds to re-produce older Gunpla models if need be.
Why is Gunpla so popular?
No hobby can give you a more awesome result than Gunpla. As soon as you finish building your Gundam, you can display it in your home. Gundams come with a small stand that’s perfect for showing your model off. That’s what makes Gunpla so addicting.
