Bandai Hobby Center Heritage

World-class injection molding engineered in Shizuoka, Japan

Since the release of the very first 1/144 Gundam kit in 1980, Bandai has produced Gunpla exclusively at the Bandai Hobby Center in Shizuoka, Japan. Their world-leading multi-color injection molding technology allows four distinct colors and materials to be molded into a single runner sprue.

Every Gunpla kit features precision snap-fit engineering — assembling cleanly without adhesive or glue. From casual builders enjoying High Grade (HG) to master modelers building inner skeletal frames in Master Grade (MG) and Real Grade (RG), each kit delivers museum-quality poseability straight from the box.

FAQ

Do you ship Bandai Gunpla model kits internationally?

Yes. We ship factory-sealed Bandai model kits from Japan to hobbyists worldwide with sturdy reinforced packaging to protect the collector boxes.

Will I pay import duties or taxes?

Duties and taxes depend on your country. Please see our duties & taxes guide for details before ordering.

Do I need glue or paint to build Gunpla?

No. All modern Bandai Gunpla kits feature snap-fit technology that requires no glue or cement. Parts are molded in distinct colors matching the anime suit, so painting is completely optional. A pair of hobby nippers is all you need to start.

HG (High Grade, 1/144) is approx. 13cm tall, affordable, and easy to build. RG (Real Grade, 1/144) is the same compact size but packs full inner skeletal frames and intricate panel detail. MG (Master Grade, 1/100) is approx. 18cm tall, larger, and features comprehensive internal mechanics and opening hatches.

Are instructions in English?

Standard Japanese domestic kits include manuals printed in Japanese, with English subtitles on newer releases. Because every step is illustrated with crystal-clear universal exploded diagrams, runners, and numbered parts, builders worldwide can assemble them smoothly.
