Gunpla Heaven!

This is so insane, this video is of a variety talk show where they introduce many topics just to chatter and perhaps get a laugh out of. Gunpla is insanely popular over in Asia so it's only natural that the layman wants to see exactly how Gunpla is made. Well, here's a sneak peak into the mythic world of plastic kits. Talk about overkill, I always joked that the technology inside a Master Grade Gundam can be replicated to make a real 1/1 scale weapon of war but in a couple of years this factory might just be able to pull it off. It's quite impressive to see actually, it's so high tech all for the sake of making a do it yourself plastic kit.

The talk show host in the red cosplaying as Char should have done it all the way with the mask and helmet, but the guy who believes he's really Amuro is hilarious as he sounds exactly like Amuro. What a loser lol. They actually have a 3D scanner for these things as well as a laser scribe that cuts a metallic mold for these kits, talk about insane precision. It's no wonder every MG kit comes roughly the same, unlike a lot of garage kits out there where imperfections and variations litter the crop. Keroro Gunsou would probably crap his pants (wait he doesn't wear any...) if he got to visit this place. The end part there is crazy. Apparently they can make those little 3 millimeter Gundam figurines with that laser scribing machine.
