The Gundam Base Pop-Up World Tour is arriving in Sydney for the first time, transforming Broadway Sydney Shopping Centre into a celebration of Japan's most iconic anime. Presented by Bandai Namco Asia and Hobbyco, this special event, running during the September school holidays, will delight families, fans, and collectors.

Visitors can enjoy:

  • A spectacular four-metre RX-78-2 Gundam balloon on the ground floor

  • Detailed exhibits of Gundam model kits

  • Gundam movies on the big screen at Hoyts, level 2

  • A free Gunpla workshop on level 3, where children and beginners can build their own model kit. Bookings essential

  • Exclusive merchandise, including Gundam Base Limited Kits, is usually only available in Asia

  • Event Limited Gundam Kits with special designs, available at the Gunpla Pop-Up Store

Level 3 will also host the Gunpla Builders World Cup showcase, featuring the most creative entries from Australian builders. On the final day, a special award ceremony will be held to select the winners who will represent Australia in the World Cup Final in Japan.

What is Gundam?

First aired in 1979, Gundam is a Japanese anime about giant mechanical suits called Mobile Suits. Unlike traditional robots, these machines are piloted by humans from inside the cockpit. The series blends futuristic technology, large-scale battles, and human drama, and has become a global cultural phenomenon, with shows, movies, games, and toys.

What is Gunpla?

Gunpla, short for Gundam plastic model, are build-it-yourself kits. The hobby develops creativity, patience and fine motor skills, making it a rewarding screen-free activity for families and a lifelong passion for collectors.
