    Collectibles and Figures Guide

    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.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    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.


    What you need
    Display:

    Some figures include stands, but others may require an additional stand for better stability.
    Recommendation: Action Base 5

    Protective Cases:

    If you wish to keep your collectibles in pristine condition, consider using acrylic display cases or protective boxes.

    Camera:

    Use a good camera or smartphone with proper lighting, like a ring light or softbox, for clear and detailed photos.

      A good place to start.

      There's great value here but I hesitate to call this a great kit for starters. The articulation isn't perfect but it's great to have the experience of building perhaps the most famous mobile suits back-to-back. A highly recommended second kit - built a GM first, and then move onto this.

      With age comes a few issues.

      A great set that for starters, and an unbeatable value. There's some issues with the final product that come simply with the age of these kits. No action base stands, and limited articulation to say the least. However if you're looking to get into gunpla or want to practice some customization like weathering or full painting this is a great kit to start with.

      Good for beginners/those looking to practice painting!

      These 2 kits are easy and fun to build, and are perfect for beginners! The models themselves are from 2001, while the kit was sold in 2010, so articulation isn't as good as recent kits, but for only 20 it's a good value ! If you're into painting, the rx-78 could definitely use a new coat of white. The Zaku II is fine as is, and shiny.

      Other than that, definitely get this if you're looking to get into gunpla!
