The Gundam Gift that Can’t Be Beaten: Metal Build Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Action Figure

When it comes to Gundam action figures, this one is pretty much one of the best you can find. It may not be the ultimate, Holy Grail of figures, but it’s definitely one that most people want and most people don’t have.

If your Gundam fan is a huge, die-hard, spends-every-dime-he-has kind of fan, then he may have this one, but chances are, he probably doesn’t because it’s rare, hard to get and often expensive.

If you really want to buy him a great gift that he’ll go crazy over, this is the thing to get.

The joints on this mobile suit are done in metallic gold, and the kit comes with a ton of accessories including interchangeable hands, an Energy Absorption Claw, a beam shield and more. It also comes with the official Bluefin Distribution logo, which is important to most collectors.

Hours and Hours of Fun: Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta (Limited 50 Episode Boxed Set)

In addition to the full series DVD set, though, this collector’s edition comes with a lot of extras including exclusive artwork, a DVD art box, different collectible Gundam figures, pencil sharpeners, a Gundam “encyclopedia” and an exclusive Zeta Gundam poster.

The DVDs are subtitled in English.

The Ultimate Building Kit: Bandai Hobby Gundam Perfect Grade Model Kit

For the expert level Gundam builder on your gift list, this is the perfect gift. It’s a Gundam 00 Raiser model, and putting it together is intense. This is not for a builder who’s just getting started.

This is for someone with skill and lots of experience working on these types of figures. As far as actual construction goes, everything snaps together neatly; there’s no need for glue or any other adhesive products, and everything comes pre-colored, as well, so there’s no need to paint or add detail unless your friend just enjoys customizing his figures.

For the Collector Who Doesn’t Like to Build: Tamashii Nations Full Burnern “Mobile Suit Gundam 0083”

If your friend appreciates Gundman action figures and replicas but doesn’t actually like to put them together himself, this figure by Tamashii Nations is the perfect compromise. It comes mostly pre-assembled, with only a handful of things that need to be put together manually.

It’s a perfect, small-scale replica straight from the anime. It also comes affixed with the official Bluefin and Bandai Namco labels, so your friend will know it’s authentic and not a generic rip-off version.

Plus, this is another figure that’s relatively rare, so unless he’s truly a die-hard collector, it’s unlikely he already has it.

Let Him Experience It in a Whole New Way: Mobile Suit Gundam WING: Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers

Unlike Naruto and some of the other more popular anime series, Gundam was an anime first, not a manga. Manga adaptations were released later after the series became so popular. Because it started as an anime first, a lot of people haven’t read the manga series.

This is a good introduction to them. It’s actually a retelling of the original WING Gundam story (originally done in anime form), but it adds in so much that didn’t make it into the show. If your friend hasn’t yet experienced Gundam in print, he’ll love you for introducing him to it.

A Place for All His Tools and Excess Parts: ArtBin Quick View Deep Base Carrying Case

It was originally designed by a Tokyo-based store called “Cospa,” which features mostly items used for cosplay and anime-inspired items including clothes, wigs and accessories.

It looks great and is totally authentic. It isn’t large enough to be used as a true backpack, but it’s perfect for holding game systems, cameras and phones.

For the Gamers: SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays for Nintendo Switch
