Bandai Namco is taking its Gundam brand to the road.
The Gundam franchise is known amongst collectors for its detailed model kits of mecha (giant robots). The brand got its start as an anime but has since released additional series, a large portfolio of collectibles, and more. Now, Gundam is launching a tour with the Gundam Base Mobile visiting cities across the U.S. starting this month.

The tour features a Gundam Base Mobile contained in a truck and trailer cruising across the country. Once set up, it will offer guests experiences such as Gunpla workshops, exclusive model kits, and activities such as photo-ops and video games. Fans of the brand can also purchase additional model kits online.
The most recent Gundam anime offering, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, was a hit among fans across the globe. The series has inspired a full selection of Gunpla model kits and is a strong example of the brand’s continued success.
The Gundam Base Mobile USA Tour will kick off at the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Nov. 16 and finish at Fan Expo in New Orleans Jan. 5-7. Bandai Namco is will also release more than 50 products on Premium Bandai Nov. 16.
