New Gundam Model Kit "Hamma Hamma" Opens for Pre-Order
Listen to the story
A new toy model is coming soon. It is called Gunpla. Gunpla is a plastic model kit of a robot from Gundam. The new kit is called "HG 1/144 Hamma Hamma."
People can start to pre-order the kit from August 26. Pre-order means you pay early to get something before other people.
The Hamma Hamma robot has a big weapon. It is called a "3-barrel beam gun." A barrel is the long part of a gun.
The kit uses soft material and lead wire. Soft material can bend. Lead wire is thin metal wire that can also bend.
These parts help the gun move in many ways. This makes the model look more real and cool.
Other new Gundam kits are also coming. One is called "MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam." It has special bright colors and light effects.
Another kit is called "Grase Ain." It is a big robot model. It has a part that shoots out like a spike. This is called a "pile bunker."
Fans of Gundam are excited about these new model kits.
