These retroactive kits were of units from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, many being recolours of existing kits. Bandai retroactively filled in the missing five kits alongside releases of kits with the 300+ numbering. However, the previous kit had been BB 295. 2007 saw the release of the 300th BB Senshi kit in official numbering. They can be found at auction sites, usually with high prices.Ĭentury number releases (100, 200, 300, etc.) are often marked as special occasions. These kits are made from more durable plastic and are bigger than the BB Senshi kits.

Dai-Shogun characters have often seen their final form released as a much larger figure (in some cases, this is included in the storyline by the character growing to giant size to combat an equally large foe).Īnother model kit series called Ganso SD Gundam, though discontinued in the 1990s, covered all the SD Gundam series but mainly focus on Knight Gundam kits. However, as the line continued these issues have mostly been addressed and sometimes been intentional. Scale is often inconsistent, especially in older kits where many characters from the same storyline are out of scale with one another. In recent years the G Generation kits have introduced a new proportion and enhanced poseability. Forming the bulk of the series are Musha Gundam kits the Musha kits have standard gimmicks like detachable armour and others, such as combination and compatibility of parts between kits. 2007 saw the release of the 300th kit in the series. The model kit series is called "SD Gundam BB Senshi". In addition to made-up robots contributed to SD Gundam comics, Bandai also held monthly contests for custom Gundam (usually Musha-based) models. Modifying SD models is very popular in Japan, more so than the full-sized counterparts. Many SD Gundam models are designed such that variations of the stock models, as seen by SD Gundam comics, can be made by using parts from other SD Gundam kits.
While regular Gundam model lines strive for realism by introducing High Grade, Master Grade, and Perfect Grade models, SD Gundam models are designed for (and sometimes by) the customization crowd. With its popularity, SD Gundam merchandise expanded to include manga, trading cards, anime and video games. Although at first SD Gundam started out as a parody of the Gundam series by the 1990s SD Gundam spawned many spin-off series, SD Sengokuden ( Musha Gundam) which has a Sengoku setting, SD Gundam Gaiden ( Knight Gundam) which has a fantasy medieval setting and SD Command Chronicles which has a modern military style to name a few. The super deformed design was suitable for capsule toys and so SD Gundam started merchandising with the Gashapon series "SD Gundam World" in 1985. This illustration interested the chief editor and so leading to Koji Yokoi serializing SD Gundam in 4 frame comics in "Model News". The illustration is of a Gundam but with an unusual proportion where the overall height of the Gundam is equal to twice that of its head. SD Gundam originated from a contributed illustration of a junior high school student from Nagoya by the name of Koji Yokoi to the "Model News" magazine that Bandai was issuing in the 1980s.
