Selling and shipping variety of Bandai Gunpla, Robots, Character kits, and many other plastic model kits, from Japan to All over the world. In all honesty none of these are hard to put together, but obviously the larger ones such as the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Model Kit will have more pieces and take a little longer.
Over at NHK, there has been a poll covering various aspects of the Gundam franchise and some of the early results are now in.The poll covers four main areas for fans to vote on. The sections are anime, mecha, characters and theme songs.
While the results for the favorite anime and the top three theme songs have yet to be revealed, we do know the results for mecha, characters and the remainder of the theme songs.
For the mecha, the favorite all-time mecha from the franchise is the RX-93 Nu Gundam designed by Yutaka Izubuchi from the movie Char’s Counterattack (shown below). Pokemon for gba.
What’s interesting about this is that for the favorite characters, Char Aznable was voted first whereas his rival, and the pilot of the Nu Gundam, Amuro Ray came third.
While you would think the Unicorn Gundam would get a mention, as there is a life-size statue of it in Odaiba in Tokyo, that wasn’t even listed in the results.

As this year marks the 30th anniversary of the movie Char’s Counterattack, that may have swayed some fans on picking mecha like the Nu Gundam and the generally favorable mentions of other related characters and songs.
It’s also worth point out that this is an NHK poll and thus national in scope, so we are getting some interesting and fairly comprehensive data here.
The obvious result of these selections is that I fully expect Bandai to announce a variety of new toys and model kits of the Nu Gundam over the next few months.
Considering how iconic the Nu Gundam is, the fact that we don’t have a proper Perfect Grade kit or chogokin type toy of the design is strange and I only hope Bandai corrects this oversight in the near future.
In the meantime, you can play with the Nu Gundam and its more potent Hi-Nu Gundam variant in both Gundam Versus and the recently released Super Robot Wars X on PS4. The final results of this poll will be posted on May 5 via the NHK website.
