Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates Metal Gunpla from standard Gunpla kits? 
Metal Gunpla, often part of the Metal Gundam Kits series or incorporating metal parts, differs from standard Gunpla in several key aspects. They feature die-cast metal components, which add weight, durability, and a premium feel. These models usually come pre-assembled or with parts that are more intricately designed than standard plastic kits, focusing on superior articulation, detail, and sometimes include LED light features for added effect.

Are Metal Gunpla models pre-painted? 
Yes, Full Metal Gundam comes pre-painted with a high level of detail and finish. The painting and decaling work is professionally done, which contributes to the premium look and feel of these models, setting them apart from traditional kits that might require painting and decaling by the builder.

Can Metal Gunpla be customized or modified? 
While Metal Gunpla are designed to be displayed as-is, with high-quality finishes and details straight out of the box, customization is possible but can be more challenging than with standard plastic models. Modifications may require specialized tools or knowledge, especially when dealing with metal parts. However, enthusiasts often customize them by adding panel lines, weathering, or changing the LED lights, if applicable.

How should I care for and maintain my Metal Gunpla?
Metal Gundam model kit requires careful handling to maintain their appearance. Dust them regularly with a soft brush or cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade the paint. For metal parts, it's advisable to occasionally check for signs of oxidation or wear and gently clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Are there any precautions to take when handling Metal Gunpla? 
Yes, due to the inclusion of metal parts and potentially sharp edges, it's important to handle Metal Gunpla carefully to avoid injury. Also, the joints and connections can be tighter or more fragile compared to plastic-only models, so gentle manipulation is recommended to avoid damaging the model.

Q: Is assembly required for Metal Gunpla models? A: Metal Gunpla models typically come pre-assembled or with minimal assembly required, focusing more on display quality rather than the building process. However, some models may require the attachment of accessories or minor assembly to complete their display setup.

Q: Where can I purchase Metal Gunpla? A: Metal Gunpla can be purchased through official Bandai channels, specialty hobby shops, and online retailers. Due to their premium nature, they may come with a higher price point and limited availability. It's recommended to buy from reputable sources (like P-Rex Hobby) to ensure authenticity and quality.

Q: What should I do if a part of my Metal Gunpla becomes damaged or lost? A: For damaged or lost parts, contact the retailer or the manufacturer's customer service if possible. Some manufacturers may offer replacement parts services, but availability can vary. Additionally, there are online communities and marketplaces where you can find spare parts or advice on repairs.
