DESCRIPTION
Mobile Suit Gundam debuted in 1979 to poor ratings and was nearly cancelled after 39 episodes, yet the subsequent model kit (Gunpla) sales proved the franchise's power. Original 1979-1980 merchandise predates the Gunpla boom and represents the earliest commercial artifacts of what became a $10 billion franchise. The original Sunrise logo and copyright marks distinguish first-generation merchandise. The RX-78-2 design by Yoshiyuki Tomino is considered one of the most influential mechanical designs in history. First-gen merchandise: ¥60,000–¥400,000.
