Gundam fans have spoken, and in 2016, anime publishers listened.
On the TV side, we got a second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans that’s still ongoing! We also got a fun, funny new installation of the Gundam Build Fighters TRY series, a half-hour special called Island Wars.
On the release side, we got new DVD and Blu-Ray versions for so many classic Gundam shows—Gundam X, Zeta Gundam, and Gundam ZZ—plus Gundam Build Fighters, too!
As for new Gunpla kits, well, that’s what this massive post is about! While there were no new Perfect Grade kits this year, there were more than 100 new releases in the other grades—and we want to build them all.
We’ve collected the complete list of every Gunpla model that came out in 2016, and listed them out in alphabetical order, right here for your reference. Did you build any of these in 2016? We’d love to see your comments and reviews!
