ROBOT TAMASHII RX-78-2 GUNDAM ver. A.N.I.M.E. Theatre Poster Real Type Color~ Venue Sale Price: 6,000 yen (tax included)

This display uses a real type Gundam to recreate the poster image ofthe theatrical release of Mobile Suit Gundam released in 1981. The identical movie poses were made possible through a special method where the illustrator applied form, coloring, and markings with an image of Zaku printed on cardboard placed in the back! Through the image that the products conveyed, I could recall the memories and excitement of those days!

The information transmission base “TAMASHII STATION” will invite wonderful guests and a variety of themes in their discussions will unfold! The mechanical designer Mr. Kanetake Ebikawa will have his own talk show and will reveal even more new information about the latest “METAL BUILD” products!?
