If you've never heard of it, Gundam is a Japanese Anime that began in 1979 and often is about giant piloted mecha called Mobile Suits. The only season I know of to break this trend is Build Fighters Try where they fight in virtual arenas with model kits.

Zen-Aku wrote:But as for the products, well they had this one gundam action figure set that you could switch out arms, legs, torso, and heads with other figures and use your own creation in an arcade machine, each figure stands about the size of a Barbie doll and it's kind of fun switching parts to find a combination that best fits your stile. Though the one thing I always found funny about the figures in japan is that you have to find ones that say joint action or your pretty much buying a statue.
