Bandai will erect an 8.3-meter-wide (about 27-foot-wide)
replica of a Real Grade RX-78-2 Gundam model kit box right in front of the
Japan Railway Osaka station from Wednesday until next Tuesday. The
"box" will house a free "Gunpla (Gundam Plastic Model) Open
Gallery in Osaka" for the public to see what today's Gundam kits are like.
About 200 items will be on display at the Osaka Station
City's South Gate Plaza, including the latest model kits that will not be
released until November. While the gallery will cover every current Gundam
model kit line, it will specifically spotlight the Real Grade series, the most
intricate Gundam models Bandai has created at the standard 1/144 scale. Bandai
launched the RG series in 2010 to mark the 30th anniversary of Gundam plastic
models, and the company has already shipped 1.1 million kits of the line's nine
different designs.
a chance to feel how a gunpla feels like being in a box waiting for someone to take them out.
ReplyDeletetook the words right off my mouth... :3
DeleteIt would be even more amazing if it is in scale to the 1/1 scale gundam. But that would be a building more than 30m in length. That's too big to be a temporary exhibition room.
