Will New Gundam Miniatures Game Take The Tabletop World By Storm In 2025? #OTTWeekender
January 10, 2025 by crew
It's OTTWeekender time! In the first Weekender of 2025, we dive into a discussion on the brand new miniatures game announced by Bandai for the world of Gundam and Gunpla. Gundam Assemble sounds like it's going to be fascinating so we talked to our two experts, John and Justin, about just what we could be seeing with the game when it lands later this year.
Are you tempted by the thought of a new Gundam miniatures game? Could you get sucked into building mecha for Gundam now that there's a game attached to it? Are you already a fan and see this is as a great way for the world to expand? Let us know in the comments!

Some of the bug? figures may be good for planet death gaming figures ?
Fabulous start to the year guy’s 👍😆👍
Not going to lie, I just came here for Zorg’s running commentary 😂 I’ve had to put myself on a no spend hobby ban for a while but the Gundam stuff looks cool… will it be enough to get anyone else here remotely interested? Time shall tell!
Lol 😃
Gundam kits look very… angular…
To me they look like something made with bits from your airfix kits leftovers/failed models box.
I do like some of the more basic Gundam designs like the Zaku, but then the “hero” Gundams get pretty ridiculous. Also have a bunch of Battletech minis I haven’t done anything with yet >_>
