Gundam figures
When you're hooked on something, you would acquire nearly anything that reminds you of that special addiction. This is also true for an anime series that you love so much to the extent where you want a memorabilia of it. And speaking of which, one of the most in demand anime collectibles in the market is the Gundam franchise action figures. In fact, it is not a rare sight to see a simple fan turn to a collector of Gundam figurines.

Gundam History

The first and original timeline for the series was the Universal Century (UC) series. This includes Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985). In the 90's, alternative timelines have been created and produced which includes the Future Century, After Colony, Correct Century, Cosmic Era, Anno Domini as well as the recent Advanced Generation timelines.

Most of the early Gundam series are under the Universal Century calendar. Those that came after that are set in alternate timelines and mostly unrelated to the UC calendar system, instead connected in the Correct Century. Each timeline defines GUNDAM in different acronyms. The conflicts and settings also vary from one timeline to another.

The first Gundam is the RX-78-2 from the first series: Mobile Suit Gundam. The designs of MS that came after that can trace its origins from the RX-78-2.

As of the present, the Gundam franchise is a trademark that is worth billions of yen. Not only is Gundam praised in Japan but it is well-known all over the world for its story and iconic mecha. With its longevity and achievements, Gundam has remained as one of the most successful anime series ever.

Gundam Mecha Variations

The many variations of the Gundam mecha vary from series to series. In the UC series, the Gundams are normally equipped with beam weapons and armored in a special alloy called Luna Titanium or "Gundarium". When the use of this Gundarium became widespread, distinguishing the Gundams became harder, especially because they used other alloys to manufacture the robots, such as the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II.

In this era, GUNDAM is an acronym for General-purpose Utility Non-Discontinuity Augmentation Maneuvering weapon system.

The gundams in Future Century were made of lightweight and ultra heavy-duty Gundarium alloy. The mobile fighters in the Gundam mecha were piloted by their pilots with the help of the Mobile Trace System.

Here, GUNDAM is an acronym for Gamma Unificational Dimalium Amalgam Mobile-suit.

In the time of After Colony, the robots were already loosely defined as mobile suits made of Gundarium.

In AC, GUNDAM stands for Genetic on Universal Neutrally Different Alloy-nium Mobile Suit.

As the After War era commenced, the robots were now advanced high-performing mobile suits that were created and built by the United Nations Earth. But in the Correct Century, only one Gundam was present, which was the SYSTEM-99 (WD-M01) Gundam.

The mobile suits in the Cosmic Era were prototypes that require a powerful mobile suit operation system to function (M.O.S.). By then, the crew of the Archangel gave several acronyms to GUNDAM once again.

The most distinct Gundam of all the timelines was created in the Anno Domini timelines. They contain a core generator known as the GN Drive. This generator is capable of sustaining independent unit function for an unspecific amount of time without refueling.
