Key Features

Snap-Fit Assembly: Modern Gunpla kits require no glue or cement. The molded plastic pieces snap together securely.
-
Pre-Colored Plastic: Parts are molded in their respective colors on multi-colored plastic runners, meaning kits look great right out of the box without requiring paint.
-
High Articulation: Built kits feature internal skeletons (on higher grades) and polycap joints, allowing for dynamic posing and display options.
Safety Warning: Products may contain sharp points, small parts, choking hazards, and other elements not suitable for children under 14 years old.
Hazardous products like paint, cement, glue, thinner, etc. must be shipped by ground (USPS First Class Package, USPS Parcel Select, UPS Ground) inside the U.S only.
