Malaysia’s Gundam community has just received exciting news with the official opening of THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia, the first flagship store in the country dedicated entirely to the iconic Gundam franchise and its highly Gundam plastic model kits, also known as Gunpla.
Located at fahrenheit88 in the heart of Bukit Bintang, this flagship concept store marks a major milestone for local fans. Developed through a collaboration between Bandai Namco Asia and local distributor Litt Tak Sdn. Bhd., the store brings the globally recognised GUNDAM BASE experience closer to Malaysian enthusiasts.
A New Destination for Gundam Fans
THE GUNDAM BASE is widely known as the official home of Gundam and Gunpla, offering an immersive retail and lifestyle experience. With its debut in Malaysia, fans now have direct access to a wide range of exclusive models, limited-edition collectibles, and engaging displays.
From the moment visitors step into the store, they are greeted by a striking 1.8-metre RX-78-2 Gundam statue, presented in exclusive GUNDAM BASE colours. This iconic centrepiece sets the tone for what lies ahead—a space dedicated to creativity, craftsmanship, and fandom.
Adding to the experience is a specially designed photo booth, where visitors can capture memorable moments against a blueprint-inspired backdrop of the legendary mobile suit.
Bringing a Global Experience to Malaysia
The opening of THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia reflects Bandai Namco Group’s commitment to expanding its presence across Southeast Asia. By introducing this flagship concept locally, the brand aims to make the Gundam experience more accessible while strengthening its connection with fans in the region.
Built around the vision of “Fun for All into the Future,” the store goes beyond traditional retail by integrating elements of learning, creativity, and community engagement.
This approach transforms THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia into more than just a store—it becomes a hub where fans can explore the art of Gunpla building and connect with like-minded individuals.
A Hands-On Gunpla Experience
One of the standout features of THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia is its interactive workshop area. Starting from April 20, 2026, visitors can participate in daily model-building sessions held between 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 8pm.
These workshops are designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners taking their first steps into the world of Gunpla to experienced builders looking to refine their techniques.
The store also offers an extensive selection of Gunpla kits across multiple grades, including:
- Entry Grade (EG)
- High Grade (HG)
- Real Grade (RG)
- Master Grade (MG)
- Perfect Grade (PG)
This wide range ensures that every fan, regardless of experience level, can find something that suits their interests and skill set.
A Hub for Community and Creativity
According to Tan Ee Chian, the opening of THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia represents an important milestone for the country’s passionate Gundam community.
The store is designed not only as a retail space but also as a community hub where fans can gather, share ideas, and celebrate their love for Gundam. The workshop area plays a key role in fostering this sense of community by encouraging collaboration and creativity.
Meanwhile, Joyce Yap Soh Ching highlighted the store’s significance in enhancing Bukit Bintang’s vibrant lifestyle and tourism scene. As Kuala Lumpur continues to attract visitors from around the world, THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia adds a unique pop culture attraction that appeals to both local and international audiences.
Exclusive Launch Highlights
To celebrate its grand opening, THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia is introducing four exclusive Gunpla models, available for the first time in the country. These limited releases are expected to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Such exclusivity further strengthens the store’s appeal, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Gundam and model building.
With the arrival of THE GUNDAM BASE Malaysia at fahrenheit88, the local Gundam scene has reached an exciting new chapter.
Combining exclusive products, immersive experiences, and community-driven activities, this flagship store offers something for everyone—from long-time collectors to curious newcomers.
