The Gundam franchise is incredibly popular and well-known. Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, it’s grown into a massive series with over 50 TV shows, movies, and original video animations in its almost 50-year history. It’s also inspired countless video games, books, comics, and, famously, plastic model kits – known as Gunpla. In fact, Gunpla dominates the Japanese model kit market, with hundreds of different kits released since the early 1980s. Interest in Gundam remains strong, with new projects constantly being announced, including the upcoming 2025 TV series Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX and the recent movie Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe. Recently, a wave of new announcements has fans especially thrilled.
