Over 45 Years of Gundam History
The Gundam franchise began with the television anime Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979 and has continued to grow for more than 45 years, spanning TV series, theatrical films, and OVAs. The series is known for its combination of Mobile Suit combat with deep explorations of war, politics, and human drama. Beyond anime, the franchise extends into manga, novels, video games, and the iconic plastic model kits known as Gunpla. With each entry often featuring its own independent world setting, Gundam has built a broad fanbase that crosses generations and genres.
A Nostalgic Sofubi Figure with a Modern Twist
This new figure takes RX-78-2 Gundam and reimagines it as a retro-style soft vinyl (sofubi) toy, evoking the kind of figures that lined toy shop shelves in Japan’s Showa era. Standing approximately 250 mm tall — the standard size for classic Showa-period sofubi — the figure captures the warm, nostalgic feel of vintage toys while incorporating contemporary design sensibilities. The result is a collectible that appeals both to long-time fans who grew up with the original series and to newer collectors drawn to retro aesthetics.
