A signboard showing the history of the center.
1980 - Gunpla production began,
1982 - Multi-color molding machines deployed,
1985 - 4-Color molding machines deployed, which are in use til today - 13 units.


Bandai's 1/15 scale Tiger I, a super vintage model kit I believe.


Great Mazinger




Nightingale! Not sure if this is the resin MG prototype displayed many years ago, but looks like there has been no progress on the monster for a long time already. ^^;
Sumo is sleeping on the right in the first picture. XD


This is how the earliest Gunpla was developed - design sketched on paper and prototype made from wood.


1/350 Space Battleship Yamato with remote controller for light and sound effect.
Dalong Dotnet has one, if you're interested to know more. :)


Bandai Hobby Center received the Silver Challenge Award for the design of 1/350 Space Battleship Yamato.
