GUNDAM Models are also called Gunpla ガンプラ Ganpura, a mashup of "Gundam plastic model". "Gunpla" more commonly refers to the practice of building Gundam models, rather than the models themselves.

"Mobile Suit Gundam", the Anime, debuted in 1979 and the first Gunpla kits were created in 1980.  The first Gunpla kit? The 1/144 Scale RX-78-2 GUNDAM
