The hobby shop a long walk down the road from me where I bought a flying model rocket last year contains plenty of other model kits. It shouldn’t be a surprise in this day and age that those kits include “science fiction robots,” and of course a good number of those particular kits are Mobile Suits from Gundam. I had started seeing those kits in other hobby stores years before without this shaking my conviction that my days assembling model kits were now decades in the past. In this store, though, I did notice a particular kit I’ve seen enough about “Gunpla” to understand as a no-tools, no-paint, no-stickers, no-glue endeavour perhaps suitable for the rust-caked returner too. It was also the Strike Gundam from Gundam Seed, and perhaps a sense of defiance in the face of general fan judgement nudged me towards buying it. Of course, defiance can be foolish.
