Gundam World 2016 in Nasu Highland Park is packed with displays, merch, and more!

Experience the world of Gundam at Gundam World 2016 in Nasu Highland Park, now open at the Nasu Highland amusement park in Tochigi.

The fifth Gundam World event is bigger than ever, with 1/10-scale mobile suits, a display of warship models, and displays on the in-universe and out-of-universe history of Gundam.

It’s packed with must-see materials for Gundam fans, and we’re here to give you a peek as you make your Golden Week plans!


■ Experience the world of Gundam!

▲ As soon as you enter, you’ll be greeted by a 1/10-scale Nu Gundam, Sazabi, and Hyaku Shiki with mega bazooka launcher!

▲ Get your first look at the new Sazabi! And don’t miss out on a selfie with Amuro and Char!

▲ Take in the history of the Universal Century, from the One Year War to the Zanscare Empire!

▲ The Federation’s GM series rolls out in model kit form! See even obscure variants, including alternate Jegan loadouts!

▲ Zeon’s Zaku is there too! There are even scratch builds of suits which never got kits!

▲ From the original Mobile Suit Gundam’s White Base to Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn’s Nahel Argama, there’s a naval review in 1/400 scale! Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam’s Argama is the original build shown in the August issue of Comic Bonbon!

▲ The Gundam and Char’s Zaku clash in a diorama!

▲ The Gundam’s head, damaged in its final battle with the Zeong, has landed in Highland Park! There’s even a space to take a selfie with it!

▲ Sit in the Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode)’s cockpit, and even take a picture! A print in special frame is only 1,000 yen.

▲By the cockpit is a 1/10 version of the full suit, complete with shining Psycoframe!

■ See the history of Gundam in a series of displays!

▲ Learn, or relearn, the beginnings and history of Gundam from the earliest days of Mobile Suit Gundam!

▲ Displays include a timeline of the Universal Century, a look at U.C. Uniforms, a detailed profile of Char Aznable, and a lineup of masked men!

▲ Let Haro answer your Gundam questions!

▲ The newest Gundams, Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin (part III in theaters May 21st) and Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt (available digitally now for sale and rental), receive their own introductions!

▲ The Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans corner has a Gunpla display too!

▲ And of course, there are also character figures and other merchandise.

▲ Once you’ve learned all about Gundam, check your results in the quiz! (Your reporter scored 6 our of 8. It’s honestly pretty tough...)

■ Don’t miss out on the gift shop!
