The world of Iron-Blooded Orphans completely recreated through Gunpla! The “Gunpla x Iron-Blooded Orphans Exhibit” Report

The “Gunpla x Iron-Blooded Orphans Exhibit”, a special exhibition that replicates the world of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans using Gunpla, is currently being held at Ikebukuro Parco in Tokyo.

The assembly hall is fully loaded with exhibits related to Iron-Blooded Orphans such as the hugely impressive “1/10 GUNDAM BARBATOS STATUE” and the “Gunpla x Mobile Suits Museum” that utilizes Gunpla to introduce various MS. Additionally, there are other exhibitions like the “Gunpla x Tekkadan’s Path” that reflects upon the battles until now with dioramas, and photo areas where one can take photos together with Tekkadan members.

Without further ado, let’s go into the details on the exhibits at the exhibition.

＜1/10 GUNDAM BARBATOS STATUE＞

The “1/10 GUNDAM BARBATOS STATUE” and life-sized cardboard cut-outs of Mikazuki and Orga greet the attendees at the entrance of the assembly hall on the 7^th floor of the main building.

▲Even now, the “1/10 GUNDAM BARBATOS STATUE” is so impressive it seems like it’ll start moving!

＜Assembly Hall Entrance＞

A huge illustration of “GUNDAM BARBATOS LUPUS” and “GUNDAM GUSION REBAKE FULLCITY” is on the wall to the right of the assembly hall entrance. Mr. Kengo Kawanishi, voice of Mikazuki, and Mr. Yasuaki Takumi, voice of Akihiro, have also autographed the wall so please check it out if you go to the event. At the entrance, original stickers of Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka are also being distributed to commemorate one’s attendance to the event.

▲Distribution of the original Mikazuki stickers is until October 31^st (Mon)! Orga Itsuka stickers will also be handed out starting from November 1^st (Tues)！

▲When one walks into the assembly hall, the first thing you will see is the very impressive diorama display. The diorama has recreated the three-way free-for-all fight in space between Tekkadan, the Arianrhod Fleet, and the Dawn Horizon Corps from the currently broadcasting second season of Iron-Blooded Orphans.

＜Gunpla X Mobile Suits Museum＞

The “Gunpla x Mobile Suits Museum” is in front of the entrance on the right side and utilizes Gunpla to introduce various MS. The exhibit is overflowing with MS that have been introduced in Iron-Blooded Orphans, from the main Teiwaz MS “Hyakuri” and “Hyakuren” that were introduced in season one until the newly introduced MS in season two such as “GUNDAM BARBATOS LUPUS” “GUNDAM GUSION REBAKE FULLCITY” and “GUNDAM VIDAR.”

▲It’s a great gathering of all MS from Iron-Blooded Orphans, both new and old!
