If there’s one event that Gunpla enthusiasts in Malaysia should mark on their calendars this year, it’s the long-awaited Gundam Base Pop-Up by Bandai and Litt Tak Sdn Bhd. From 4th to 13th July 2025, Incubase Arena at Fahrenheit88 in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is set to transform into a mecca for fans of Gundam, plastic model kits, and all things Gunpla.
This isn’t just any typical product launch or toy fair. What they’re bringing is an immersive experience that offers more than just limited edition kits — it’s a full-fledged celebration of the Gundam franchise and its vibrant community. Whether you’re a seasoned Gunpla builder, a casual anime lover, or someone who appreciates Japanese pop culture, this is one of those events you’ll regret missing.
So, what makes this event so special? Let’s take a deeper look at what to expect, and more importantly, why this is worth a trip to Fahrenheit88.
A Rare Chance to Snag Limited Edition Gunpla Kits
One of the most exciting highlights of this event is without a doubt the exclusive Gunpla kits available only at the pop-up. Gunpla (Gundam plastic models) has a huge following in Malaysia, and collectors know how difficult it can be to get their hands on rare or limited items. Bandai and Litt Tak are known for their well-curated releases, and they’ve promised a list of exclusive limited kits that will be revealed during the event.
These are the kinds of items that aren’t readily available online or in most stores. Many are region-specific or event-only editions, and they typically vanish from shelves within days — sometimes hours. Attending this event not only gives visitors the first pick but also lets them physically inspect the kits, which is a bonus for anyone who prefers to see the box, scale, and moulding details before purchasing.
Gunpla Workshop for Beginners and Veterans Alike
If you’ve ever felt curious about building Gunpla but didn’t know where to begin, this event has got something for you too. The organisers are running Gunpla Workshops throughout the pop-up duration. These workshops will guide participants through the basics — from snapping out the parts from the runners and assembling the pieces to advanced detailing and finishing tips.
It’s not every day that new hobbyists get the opportunity to learn directly from experienced builders in a supportive environment. The workshops are suitable for all levels — even seasoned builders can pick up a few new tricks or techniques while networking with other hobbyists.
This hands-on element really elevates the entire event. Instead of being just a retail space, the pop-up transforms into a learning and sharing hub, helping to grow the local Gunpla scene and encourage newcomers to join the hobby.
Travel Through Time with the Gunpla History Exhibition
Another reason to make time for this event is the Gunpla History Exhibition. While the exclusive kits and workshops are crowd-pullers, this exhibit caters to fans of Gundam lore and design evolution. It showcases the journey of Gunpla through the years, from its inception to the latest builds — complete with historical models, original concept art, and rare pieces from the archives.
Seeing how Gunpla has evolved over time not only gives a deeper appreciation of the craftsmanship behind each kit but also highlights how the franchise has shaped model-building culture around the world. It’s an inspiring feature that adds context and storytelling to the technical side of the hobby.
Gifts with Purchase and More Perks
What’s a pop-up without some extra goodies? Gifts With Purchase (GWPs) will be given to those who shop during the event period. These could include exclusive merchandise, bonus accessories, or small Gunpla kits — but like all good GWPs, they’ll only be available while stocks last. So early birds definitely catch the better worms here.
It’s worth noting that these kinds of promotional gifts are usually themed to the event or to the kits purchased, making them valuable to collectors. Whether you’re buying a single kit or loading up your entire backlog, there’s a good chance you’ll walk away with some cool, unexpected extras.
A Gathering of Passion and Community
While the kits, workshops, and freebies are all great reasons to attend, one of the most overlooked aspects is the community vibe. Pop-up events like this bring together fans from all over Malaysia — and even neighbouring countries — under one roof. It’s a great way to connect, share builds, exchange tips, or simply admire each other’s work.
You may even bump into veteran builders, local Gunpla influencers, or discover community groups to join. Events like this often spark new friendships and collaborations, and they’re a fantastic way to stay engaged in the hobby long-term.
Ideal Location in the Heart of KL
The Incubase Arena at Fahrenheit88 is a strategic and accessible venue, nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s busy shopping district. It’s surrounded by public transport access, eateries, and shopping centres — making it a great destination for a weekend outing. Even non-Gunpla fans tagging along can enjoy the trip, as there’s plenty to see and do in the area.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to plan a day out in KL, this event might just be the push you need.
Final Thoughts: Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
In a time where many events have gone digital, it’s refreshing to see a physical, community-driven gathering centred around a shared passion. The Gundam Base Pop-Up Event by Bandai and Litt Tak Sdn Bhd isn’t just a sales event — it’s a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and fandom.
For collectors, it’s a rare opportunity to secure limited editions. For beginners, it’s a welcoming place to start their Gunpla journey. And for everyone else, it’s a window into one of Japan’s most iconic franchises brought to life right in Malaysia.
So whether you’re going solo, with friends, or bringing the family, this is an event that promises fun, discovery, and plenty of Gunpla goodness. Don’t let it pass by without a visit.
