On Dec. 23, 2012, the Gunpla Builders World Cup 2012, a worldwide contest between model Gundam builders, was held in Tokyo. Twenty-four Gundam fans from such regions as Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North America competed to become the world champion.

Five judges, including two people from Bandai and three people from a model building magazine, judged each entry based on three criteria: construction, coating, and concept. The entries were rated on a 10-point scale for each criteria, which 30 points being a perfect score. Compared to previous years, each entry in this year’s competition was magnificent, making judging extremely difficult. The judges commented in wonder, saying, “The creators’ love for their craft is conveyed in each entry.”
