A Gundam build kit is a snap-together plastic model based on the Mobile Suit Gundam series, designed for all skill levels and offering customizable, poseable mechs without the need for glue or paint.
No glue required. Customizable and posable.

From beginner-friendly to expert level kits.
Pose your model in dynamic action scenes.
Gundam = legendary Japanese sci-fi anime with giant robot "mobile suits" piloted by humans in epic space battles.
"Gunpla" = Gundam + Plastic model. Snap-together construction, no glue required. Painting and customizing optional.
An AR-powered companion that transforms the Gundam model kit building experience for every skill level.
Gunpla Build Beyond combines augmented reality, step-by-step tutorials, progress tracking, and a builder community into a single tool — replacing the fragmented mess of printed manuals, YouTube playlists, and forum threads that builders currently navigate alone.
Gunpla building can be frustrating for both beginners and experienced builders — new users feel lost; veterans struggle to organize. The frustration cuts across skill levels.
Requires dedication, precision, and 4–12+ hours of building. A single mistake is often discouraging and limits return engagement.
Manuals are 40+ pages with cryptic icons, unclear visuals, and rarely mention the specialty tools the build actually requires.
Tutorials, tips, and replacement-part sources are scattered across YouTube, Reddit, and Discord — there's no center.
Premium kits cost up to $300, creating pressure to build perfectly the first time. Mistakes feel expensive.
Small print and dense visuals make manuals difficult for users with low vision, dyslexia, or motor impairments.
Manuals ship primarily in English and Japanese, alienating large portions of Bandai's international user base.

An AR-powered companion that turns the manual, the tutorials, and the community into a single coherent tool — exactly where builders already work.
Point your camera at the workspace and see step-by-step 3D guidance overlaid on the actual parts. Eliminates the #1 friction point identified in research — part identification.
Long builds split into recoverable chunks with built-in checklists and rest prompts. Borrows from how experienced builders already pace their work.
A persistent record of every build — completed, in-progress, and aspirational — with optional pages for user-created customization tutorials.
Integrated forums, FAQ, replacement-part ordering, and a shared gallery — replacing the fragmented mess of YouTube, Reddit, and Discord.
