    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.

      Great kit but some flaws

      The kit for the age is a really good kit. The design of this Gundam is what made me get this kit. This kit major flaw is that they have the first generation type of MG hands and can’t really hold the weapons that well. The Gatling Gun is nice looking but it is a little unruly when trying to put it into the hands. Even with flaws, the looks outweigh the flaws and I don’t regret getting this kit and I am still happy with this purchase. I highly recommended this kit.

      an oldie but goodie

      This kit is definitely dated by todays MG kits but it's definitely a fun, good looking build. I snapped him together and put on his decals and then just sat back and admired the view....I recommend this kit, especially if its a first time build.

      Looks Great, lots of flaws

      This kit looks amazing but I had a lot of trouble with the joints being loose. I know it’s old etc. but this was worse than many old kits. A little glue and sanding and now it’s as awesome as it should be

      Mean Looking

      Any moblie suit with a gatling gun is awesome. I bought this one with the RX-78 unit 4 and they are a must have pair. I think the coolest thing of the gunpla is the articulation of the feeder chain from the ammo can to the gun. Amazing gunpla for under $30
