About BANDAI HOBBY

Bandai Hobby is the model kit division of Bandai Namco Holdings, the Japanese entertainment giant founded in 1950. Bandai Hobby is the world's largest manufacturer of Gunpla (Gundam plastic model kits), producing over 500 million Gunpla units sold since the first kit launched in 1980. The division's product lines span every skill level: Entry Grade for absolute beginners, HG (High Grade) 1/144 as the gateway scale, MG (Master Grade) 1/100 for intermediate builders, RG (Real Grade) 1/144 for detail enthusiasts, and PG (Perfect Grade) 1/60 as the pinnacle of engineering. Beyond Gundam, Bandai Hobby produces Figure-rise character kits, Pokémon model kits, Star Wars kits, and the popular 30 Minutes customizable series. Bandai's Shizuoka factory uses proprietary multi-color injection molding technology that allows models to be built without painting.
