THE GUNDAM BASE TOKYO, Japan’s first domestic Gunpla-focused center, finally held its grand opening on the seventh floor of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba, Tokyo on August 19th (Sat).
GUNDAM BASE TOKYO is a facility where approximately 2,000 types of Gunpla are gathered, from the first Gunpla sold in 1980 to the latest Gunpla, and will share various Gunpla information and attractions with the theme “Let’s Make Gunpla!” to Gunpla fans of all generations from all over the world.
There is official merchandise such as regular goods, tools, and stationary, as well as many limited-edition products that can only be purchased at GUNDAM BASE TOKYO. STRICT-G, the world of Gundam expressed as a fashion brand, has also opened inside the facility.
There are also contents that you can enjoy outside of shopping, such as a display related to the Bandai Hobby Center, the domestic factory where Gunpla and its predecessors are manufactured, deployed in the facility.
Furthermore, “Gundam Build Fighters World” is currently being held from August 19th (Sat) to September 11th (Mon) at the Event Zone inside the facility as its first event. Aside from key animations and characters being on display, event-limited Gunpla are also sold at the event.
A private preview was held for authorized officials on August 17th (Thurs) ahead of its opening and the full particulars of the facility were revealed. Without further ado, we will deliver a photo report of the private preview.
