Gundam Museum - Images from 1/200manax

The Bandai Museum is located in Mibu, Shimotsuga District, Tochigi, Japan.  The images below are at the courtesy of 1/200maniax san. (His link is HERE)

Originally, it was at Matsudo, Chiba, but it was closed in 2006.  I had the opportunity to visit it before it closed that summer.  And it was great! Before the 1:1 Gundam ever graced the earth, the Bandai Museum's Gundam Museum was the wildest thing I ever saw.  And being able to put on a cosplay costume of a regular Feddie's uniform and took a close up with the 1:1 Gundam bust was well worth the admission price. 

My August trip to Japan is coming up fast....but I don't think if I would have a time to visit the new Bandai Museum.  I would probably only go see the 1:1 Gundam in Shizouka.

  3. You are going to the country of Gundam. That's so so cool. I hope to revisit Japan when my kids grow older.
