Gundam | Bases for Gunpla Model kit

Bandai Gunpla model bases serve to display and support your Gunpla models in various poses and positions. They are designed to enhance the appearance and stability of the model, especially for more dynamic or action-oriented displays. Bases provide support for posing your Gunpla in mid-air, like in action scenes, without the risk of it toppling over. They also allow for easier viewing and customization of the model, showcasing it from different angles.

The first Gunpla model bases were released shortly after the initial popularity of the Gunpla line in the 1980s. As the Gunpla hobby expanded and models became more intricate, Bandai started producing specialized bases to complement the models. These bases became a necessity as Gunpla figures grew in complexity and articulation, providing collectors with a stable platform for their displays.

The ideal base for your Gundam model depends on the size and type of your model, as well as the pose you want to achieve. Here are some key factors to consider:

• Size compatibility: Ensure the base is suitable for your model's scale, whether it's 1/144, 1/100, or 1/60.
• Pose flexibility: Some bases allow for adjustable arms or support stands, letting you pose your Gunpla in mid-flight, action poses, or even recreating iconic battle scenes.
• Stability: Choose a sturdy base that ensures your model remains upright and secure, especially for larger or top-heavy models.
• Design: If you're looking for aesthetic appeal, consider bases that complement the theme of your model, such as bases themed around the specific Gundam series or with a more neutral, versatile design.

For smaller models, you can use simple, standard bases, while larger models might benefit from more complex, adjustable stands for greater stability and dynamic posing.
