HGPG Pandagguyīeargguy is a 30-minute build, tops. Released in 2015, it’s fast-paced and made according to modern animation standards, which might make it an easier sell if you’re trying to convince a friend to finally get into Gundam. Better yet, the show it comes from, Gundam Build Fighters Try, is a great “gateway” Gundam show. This beginner may have already known kits could be cool and deadly looking, but they may not have known that Gunpla could also be silly or cute.īeargguy is a simple build with plenty of heft to show for its short construction time. Looking more like a pretty pink teddy bear than a mobile weapon, Beargguy is an eclectic pick for a beginner who is interested in seeing the sheer range that Gunpla kits can cover. Smaller kits mean shorter build times and fewer parts that make them less overwhelming. That’s because, in the show, Gundams are designed as larger in proportion to humans than they used to be. Over the years, you’ll notice that 1/144 Gunpla kits from newer shows are getting bigger and bigger, culminating in the massive Unicorn Gundam. The Gouf is already iconic, and Bandai’s latest color separation technology means its distinct blue is a richer hue than ever.Īnother reason Revive models are good for beginners aside from their improved construction: they’re just smaller.

So even though Gyan is an old mobile suit design, it’s one of the most modern, articulate, and refined kits you can get today. Gyan is part of the Revive line that Bandai released in 2015 to celebrate Gundam’s 35th anniversary. This new classic model is an attractive and functional first Gunpla pick for a beginner. The Gyan first appeared on screen in 1979’s Mobile Suit Gundam as an enemy mobile suit, but today its “knight in shining armor” design transcends definitions of good or evil. Here are my favorite beginner-friendly Gunpla kits: 20. If you’re looking for ideas for your very first Gunpla, you’ve got lots to choose from. Bandai has spent a lot of time reviving older models and refining their molding process, so Gunpla fit together more easily than ever. Now it’s easier to get into Gunpla than ever. It doesn’t matter if there are some flaws, the process is what makes it fun. For somebody like me who does most of my work on a computer, it feels extremely rewarding to build something with my hands. It reminded me why we started Gunpla 101 in the first place. We chatted a bit and he ended up choosing not one, but two Gunpla models to build! A Gundam fan told me he’d always been interested in getting started building Gunpla, but didn’t know where to begin. I had an amazing exchange on Twitter recently.
