Mobile Suit Gundam" collaborated with "Tomica"! Check out the Dream Tomica SP designed by Kunio Okawara!

Tomica, one of Japan's leading miniature car brands, and Mobile Suit Gundam, one of Japan's most popular robot animation series, have collaborated on a new item!

In June 2022, BANDAI SPIRITS and TOMY, two of Japan's leading toy manufacturers, announced a project called "'Dream Together' - Connecting Thoughts, Creating Dreams Together". One result of this project is the release of three new models in the Dream Tomica series: Dream Tomica SP Mobile Suit Gundam Model Gundam (RX-78-2), Dream Tomica SP Mobile Suit Gundam Model Mass Production Type Zaku, and Dream Tomica SP Mobile Suit Gundam Model Zaku for Char.

This time, we will introduce the newest Tomica, which is of interest even to Gundam fans!

These three vehicles are based on the concept of "Tomica's Dream Collaboration! The three vehicles are the latest in the "Dream Tomica Series," a collaboration with popular characters and content based on the concept of "Gundam's Dream Collaboration!

The design was created by Gundam creator Kunio Okawara himself! Based on the head of each mobile suit, the design of each machine has been kept in mind, as one would expect from a master! The design, which is based on the heads of each mobile suit, is a masterpiece!

Personally, I feel that the design is filled with Okawara-ism, which can be seen in comical mecha designs such as the "Time Bokan" series.

Let's start with the packaging.

On the side of the box is a design by Kunio Okawara. It looks cool!

Now, let's take out the contents.

The main mobile suit Gundam has become a Tomica! The heroic silhouette is just like the main character mecha. The heroic silhouette is just like the main character's mecha, and it looks as if it could run at high speed on a circuit.

There are many things to love about this model, but personally, I was impressed by its bright sky blue body. Oh, yes. The blue of the first Gundam is this blue! Even the most particular fans who felt uncomfortable with the deep blue color that has somehow become established will no doubt be smitten.

The beam saber is wing-shaped, and the tail section incorporating the design of a school bag is also very cool. All three models can be rolled and are equipped with a suspension function.

Next is the mass-production model Zaku! It looks as if the head has been arranged almost as it is on the body, but a closer look reveals that the arms and chest design have been incorporated, and the more you look at it, the more you can appreciate it. The green coloring gives the impression of being strong enough to go off-road.

Lastly, we would like to introduce the Zaku for Char. The form is basically the same as the mass-production type Zaku, but as it is a captain's machine, an angular detail has been added to the top of its head. In addition, the ★ mark of the kill score (?) is also printed on the top of the head. mark is also printed on the top of the head. How many machines have you buried?

And just like the Gundam, the red color of this model is also "This is the red color for Char's exclusive use! It's a wonderful red color. The color is more salmon pink than crimson.

The tail is the same as the mass-produced model. However, it is strange because it seems to run three times faster just by being red in color.

I put it side by side with other Tomica models to compare the size. The size is standard Tomica size, so it does not look out of place when displayed side by side.
This "Mobile Suit Gundam" x Tomica collaboration is a must-have for those who have collected Tomicas in the past, for those who have not seen a Tomica since childhood, and for Gundam fans picking up a Tomica for the first time.
