The very FIRST environmentally friendly coloured Gunpla ever made!
Gunpla-kun is here in colour! Gunpla-kun is made of LIMEX -- a new material that combines environmental consideration with the fun of plastic model kits!
LIMEX is a new eco-friendly material that contains more than 50 percent limestone as the main raw material, greatly reducing the use of conventional petroleum-derived plastics. This is the first time in history that LIMEX has been molded in full colour!
You can build Gunpla-kun into a full figure as shown here, or you can assemble him partially with some of the parts still on the runners and display him that way! He comes with his familiar armaments, such as the beam rifle, beam saber and shield.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
