One of the big tentpole franchises for Bandai Spirits is definitely Gundam, and its latest exhibition at the Tamashii Nations Store in Tokyo goes all out.
From the long line of Robot Damashii figures to the high-end Metal Build toys, a lot was covered.
For the most part, the exhibition is about showing what Bandai Spirits has done to date with the various Gundam properties they look after, and the results are suitably comprehensive.
What with GQuuuuuuX being the latest Gundam work, there were a lot of new items on show, from the various Metal Robot Damashii toys of the new Gundam designs by Ikuto Yamashita to the cutesy Figuarts Mini of the characters. Amate Yuzuriha even got her own larger-than-life statue (shown below).
What was interesting was seeing all the chogokin releases for the various life-size Gundams, from the Walking Gundam to the Freedom Gundam and Nu Gundam. Even the upcoming Osaka Expo Gundam is getting its own chogokin and Robot Damashii figures.
Apart from that, the Metal Build Zeta Gundam still looks amazing, and the Metal Build God Gundam also made another appearance, although I will be covering that particular release separately.
It was also nice to see the Metal Robot Damashii G-Self Perfect Pack up close. It’s very faithful to the design from the anime, and while the anime itself was mostly incomprehensible it did have some very lovely designwork.
With the Gundam Figure Exhibition opening today in Tokyo and closing in early September, entry is free, and there are a fair few store-exclusive items worth a look if you’re in the neighborhood. In the meantime, feel free to check out the gallery below.
