The sliding mechanism of Gunpla is a bit lame when it’s big…

>>1

Are you coming to Shizuoka… around Z?

I wish the Gundam Base would be located in a more rural area than Shizuoka…

Amuro flies straight up from Kata-occhan’s head.

Give me something in Osaka too.

>>5

I didn’t know until recently that there isn’t a Gundam Base in Osaka…

There’s not even a satellite, huh…

It seems that Unicorn-kun has been around for about 10 years, so if there aren’t any strange gimmicks, I wonder if it lasts surprisingly long once it’s up.

>>6

Structurally, it’s a steel tower with an FRP exterior.

Are you really going to build it at the south exit of the station?

Well then, let’s have a gesse that seems like it’s going to explode.

Let’s let the uncle who we don’t know sleep.

I have a feeling about which ones to build other than the first uncle if it’s going to be built in Shizuoka.

The Mk-2 may be the most orthodox, but will it become a landmark?

>>11

I would like to see them lined up in a life-sized scale, including the first generation, Z, ZZ, ν, and Unicorn Gundams.

Anyway, it seems like ZZ would be difficult on 1/1.

So, where did the original life-sized uncle go…?

You’re not even displaying a fragment, are you?

Life-size figures of the old man and Zaku were sold for about several hundred thousand yen back in the day, right?

Is 1/1 several hundred thousand!?

>>15

Didn’t you write life-size?!

…Isn’t life-size the same as the size of a person? I’m starting to feel uneasy.

I live in Shizuoka, but now the government that used to hate Bandai’s Gundam so much…? Why…? It leaves me wondering.

>>16

In the past few years, they’ve been desperately building objects to promote the model-making town, so it doesn’t feel like it’s too late now.

>>16

Well, tax revenue has probably increased.

In the past, I don’t think I disliked you just because you were curt…

Platoon!

Osaka has both Yodo and Iesabu, right?

>>22

That kind of thing exists in Fukuoka too! It’s not unrelated, right?!

If I leave the kneeling Barbatos here, the group will probably come to take photos.

>>23

I think it would definitely be fun if there was also jacket rental available.

The old man has been dismantled, so isn’t the old man coming to Shizuoka?

Nishikawa Takamasa said to give something to Shiga as well.

First, let me have a model shop in Shizuoka…

“life-size” means about the size of a human, but what are you supposed to do with something like that…

>>28

If Zakus and GMs are lined up, it might make a nice picture.

>>28

I feel like I was even at the local hobby shop.

Shizuoka doesn’t have Yodo or Iyasabu!

In front of the station, Ideya is the biggest place to buy models, and other than that, there are only individual shops!

Isn’t it strange that there was nothing particularly notable in Shizuoka, despite it being the home base?

>>33

There was even a 1/1 Gundam back in the day.

>>33

Unlike Aoshima and Tamiya, we are an outsider…

>>36

I see…

>>33

Shizuoka made a mistake, you see.

>>38

I just said to Bandai to prepare some land in front of the station and build it, yet there’s no compassion or mercy…

>>33

In the first Build Fighters, it appeared around Shizuoka Station as the venue for the finals, but it wasn’t broadcast in Shizuoka!

>>33

There really isn’t a bigger plastic model shop in the prefecture than the Suruga-ya building.

Shizuoka didn’t broadcast Turn A…

Fujimi is also returning to the hobby show, so the future of the plastic model kingdom might be bright.

Isn’t it a bit greedy to want to have a base when you already have a Gunpla factory?

>>40

A factory is just a building.

I hope you can learn from Kotobukiya.

Plastic model manufacturer! Surugaya! That’s the impression.

The local one is the Gunpla Builders.

Since it’s a special occasion, I’d like it arranged in a way that resembles the Million Year Galaxy, with the largest ones displayed at life size.

I wonder if Bandai has a specific reason for stubbornly keeping their factory in Shizuoka.

I wonder if it’s an area with many mold makers.

>>50

There’s no point in transferring everything from now on.

There are many model manufacturers, but it’s not the case that there are many model shops in Shizuoka.

Let’s erect one Gundam statue in each of the 47 prefectures.

>>54

Let’s have them fight every year.

>>54

Let’s have the 47 Gundams fight.

Isn’t there a place where you can buy fresh Gunpla directly from the factory?

Even if a full statue is impossible, can’t we somehow manage just the head of the Geong?

>>56

It looks like it will become a life-sized Core Fighter again.

“Please sell me ‘kokko’ too.”

>>59

The plastic model of Kokko that is being presented.

>>59

If a Gundam Base is created in Shizuoka, I would like it to be sold as “Oggō.”

>>65

This is an insult to my glory!

>>72

The governor of the prefecture has already changed.

Ugh

What is a Gundam that is characteristic of Shizuoka?

>>61

Tea Gundam

Mikandum

Plastic models might be made in Shizuoka, but the majority of those plastic models go to Tokyo first and then come back to Shizuoka.

A town where toy stores are surprisingly resilient.

In Shizuoka, there are only factories, so it’s no surprise that companies like Tamiya, which have their headquarters there, have closer ties than Bandai, which is based in Tokyo.

The birthplace of Gunpla is technically the former Shimizu City.

>>66

Clover?

>>96

Clover is a super alloy, right?

According to the official data, there are more dams in China and South Korea than in Japan… what’s going on?

>>69

There is no land.

Doesn’t “life-size” mean 1/1? Yet the Gundam’s height is 18m.

Is the life-size referred to here 1.8m or 18m? Normally, life-size means human size, right?

>>73

The size of a person’s figure. “To depict a portrait in life size.” Metaphorically, it means being in one’s natural state (without making any special effort to stand out or stretch).

>>73

This is difficult, you know.

It’s not even a life-size version, so it can’t be used.

>>81

It’s a life-sized setting, right?

>>85

Because it is of equal size to the body, the original meaning is the size of a person.

When we talk about a life-sized Buddha statue, it means a Buddha statue the same size as a person, not one of the incomprehensible sizes like “nayuta” in terms of setting.

There are some places that you wouldn’t want to build in the countryside…

In Japan, where areas are becoming increasingly depopulated, it is limited to places that are somewhat prosperous, leading to the concentration of everything in Tokyo.

Given the past neglect of anime and Bandai in Shizuoka, I can’t help but think, “What’s the point now?”

We’ll liven up the city of plastic model kits! But all we’ve done is put up a few weird monuments.

>>76

It seems like they’re only talking about Kiteretsu-related topics.

>>83

Well then, please tell me what else you’re doing…

>>88

I’ve been doing hobby shows for many years.

>>93

In my memory, the hobby show was organized not by local government like prefectures or cities, but by a corporate union…

Wasn’t there a statue of Gundam and Char’s Zaku in Osaka?

It seems to be turning into a great Buddha in our town.

“Where is ‘life-size’ used to mean the size of a human…?”

>>82

You really don’t know anything, do you?

Strictly speaking, that would be the case.

https://www.ytv.co.jp/announce/kotoba/back/1801-1900/1816.html

Tamiya’s chairman is also nearing death, and it seems like Shizuoka City is quite agitated.

I hope the new mayor, who is quite agile and brings up various topics, can make things happen.

I wonder if the problem of not being able to buy Gunpla will be somewhat resolved once the new factory is operating.

>>91

I don’t think Shizuoka has changed.

There isn’t a sales floor that we’re putting effort into.

>>91

It was broadcast during New Year.

New Year’s Plastic Model Talk 2025 – Happy New Year and Plastic Models –

In the program, Mr. Moroaka, the producer of MGVerK and 30ms, appeared as the introducing role for the Shizuoka factory.

I answered that the completion of the new factory will improve production efficiency by about 30%.

>>92

That is life-size.

Why are you posing like a butterfly?

>>94

Height restriction

Let’s establish one MS in each of the 47 prefectures.

As a result of a strict lottery, the MS to be built in your prefecture has been decided to be Duwaj!

>>97

What is that? I’ve never heard of it.

Are they saying that a Gundam the size of Colonel Sanders will be placed?

It doesn’t seem like it’s going to become a famous specialty…

>>104

It seems like it could be found around here, to be honest.

It’s just like the thing that cosplay creators make…

>>109

What kind of ridiculous complaint is that…

Regardless of the definition of the words

>

Reading this and thinking that you want a life-sized Gundam statue… that shows a complete lack of understanding of the context…

>>107

It’s amazing that you can be so certain just from that part of the tweet.

Depending on the dictionary, it can also mean “the true appearance without exaggeration or embellishment,” so there’s no need to be particular about a person’s size, right?

This article is for members only.

By registering, you can read the continuation.

The hometown of Gundam is Shizuoka! I insisted on this, and a few years ago, Gundam chicken was being sold, but it was a limited time only, so it’s not available now.

>>114

Is Gundam a child of Nagoya TV…?

It seems like it might collapse due to the weight.

Can’t you make a life-size model of the Ziek Axs?

There was also a movement to remove the nude sculpture around Shizuoka Station, so perhaps people are hungry for sculptures.

>>116

Gundam can be forgiven even when it’s naked.

The life-sized Pokémon plush toys are based on their designated sizes, right?

It might just be that Pokémon is strange.

While Gundam is impressive, if Godzilla’s head in Shinjuku is really popular with foreigners, they should just build a 100m statue of Godzilla somewhere open in Chiba or Kanagawa.

>>118

If it’s Shizuoka, I really want a GMK statue at Espal Plaza…

>>106

I understand the actual dimensions, but the original size shouldn’t be a problem…

I don’t know what the exterior of Odaiba looks like, but let’s try to build it again!

It feels like it’s a bad thing to be an otaku while living in Kansai…

How about living in the metropolitan area?

>>125

Kyoto?

Is a new release coming out on January 12th?

The production area of plastic models is clearly Shizuoka, so it’s understandable to have direct sales from the production area.
