Product Description

- A special feature on the 80's hero robots that caused a huge boom!

- Mobile Suit Gundam was a hit from 1979 to 1980, and along with the expansion into theatrical animation, a giant robot boom arrived in the anime industry.
- The mainstream was hero robots that had been selling continuously since the 1970s.
- Around the same time, the plastic model boom sparked by Gundam led to the creation of new kits of past works such as Mazinger Z and Raiden, and created an opportunity to re-evaluate traditional hero robot designs.
- In this special feature, we will focus on the link between the two huge booms of hero robots and plastic models, and analyze the product development at the time and the detailed specifications of each kit.
- We will interview the original authors, directors, and character designers who were involved in the anime, and create a special feature that will bring back the excitement of the days when robot anime were broadcast on TV every day.
