Making sure they end up in the hands of Pokémon Trainers and mobile suit fans, not resellers.

In quarantine, every hour is wine and dine. Make do with a new hobby before losing your sanity!
Start 2020 out right, by picking up your Gundam Gunpla sets from a gigantic RX-75 Guntank.
There’s nothing we’d rather do in a video game than destroy huge robots and customize an extremely powerful Gundam of our own.
The hobby of building plastic models of mobile suits from the various Gundam series is huge in Japan. With countless sizes and difficulties to choose from any Gundam plastic model (Gunpla) enthusiast can stay busy for a long, long time.
And for aspiring model builders, there may be no better hero than a Japanese artist using the handle Mumumuno53. Don’t just take our word for it though, and take another look at the image above. As indicated, this is not a drawing, animation cel, or computer-generated image; it’s a three-dimensional plastic model that was built and painted by Mumumuno.
You may still not believe it, which is understandable, so here are some making-of shots they posted on their blog.
Ideally, having a sibling would be great because you always have someone to play with. But most of the time, your brother or sister is a fountain of endless torment and grief. Take this sister for example. She posted the picture above with the caption, “I battered up and fried my little brother’s precious Gundam.” Yeah, siblings are the worst.
