THE GUNDAM BASE TOKYO, Japan’s first domestic Gunpla-focused center, finally opened on August 19th (Sat) on the 7th floor of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba, Tokyo.
“THE GUNDAM BASE” was opened as an official shop in Korea in 2003 and in Taiwan in 2005 ahead of Japan with the goal of spreading the Gunpla business throughout Asia. There is currently a total of 12 store branches operating in two countries.
THE GUNDAM BASE TOKYO aims to share various Gunpla information to Gundam fans of all generations from all over the world with the theme “Let’s Make Gunpla!” in the Tokyo Rinkai Fukutoshin (Tokyo Water Front) area where many tourists gather. The facility is approximately 1983m² (approx. 600 tsubo) and is filled with many zones. These include the Shop Zone where approximately 2,000 types of Gunpla are sold, the Builders Zone where you can build the products you have purchased, the Factory Zone where you can learn the plastic model manufacturing process, and the Event Zone where project events and the sales of limited goods will be held.
