Gundam gummy candy offers Gunpla fans the chance to eat some of the most popular model kits
The second collection of Gunpla Package Art gummy candies is set to launch this July.
This series, “GUNDAM Gunpla Package Art Gummi 2”, combines collectible cards featuring iconic Gunpla box designs with fruit-flavored gummies.
Gunpla, short for “Gundam plastic model”, are model kits depicting the mobile suits and other vehicles from the Gundam meta-series.
The gummies are designed to look like the “runners” used in Gunpla kits, which are plastic structures used to hold parts in place ready for assembly.
Due to recent heavy investment in promotion by BANDAI, they are becoming increasingly popular among fans and model kit enthusiasts worldwide.
This new lineup expands on the first release, offering a total of 33 different package art cards.
The selection spans various eras and series from the long-running Gundam universe.
Among the cards included are designs for the “HG GQuuuuuuX” Gunpla, representing the newest mobile suit, GQuuuuuuX, piloted by Amate Yuzuriha (Machu) from the recently revealed Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
Also featured are cards for the “MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam,” a high-detail Master Grade Extreme model, and the “Best Mecha Collection RX-78-2 Gundam (REVIVAL Ver.),” paying homage to the original Gundam.
The inclusion of models from both recent and older series aims to appeal to a wide range of Gundam fans.
Each pack will contain one package art card selected from the 33 available designs and one tray of gummies, with eight different tray shapes to collect.
A promotional video showcasing the new collection is available for viewing on the official Bandai YouTube channel:
The “GUNDAM Gunpla Package Art Gummi 2” candies will be released on Monday, July 7th, and will be priced at 165 yen (approx. $1.14 USD / £0.83 GBP).
They will be available in Bandai Candy sections in Bandai Cross Store shops across Japan, as well as through the Premium Bandai website as a full box of 20 units.
