Over the years, Gundam has made a ton of cash thanks to its model kits, and that merchandise is only becoming more popular by the day. Gunpla has become a lifestyle for some diehard fans, and collectors are finding it easier and easier to break into the community. So of course, you can see why fans did a double-take when news broke a Gundam bath bomb is coming complete with a model kit inside.

The news comes from Bikkura Tamago who fans also know as Surprise Egg. In a recent product announcement, the capsule toy company announced plans to release a new kind of gift. After going viral for putting toy capsules in bath bombs, Surprise Egg has teamed with Bandai to create Gundam bombs for the most daring builders out there.
According to the report, these capsules will come with one of several mecha kits. The 1/144 scale Strike Gundam (Deactive Mode) will be available as well as a mini GOOhN or ZnO from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed. Surprise Egg says these figures are entry grade which means they don’t require any tools to assemble. So if you really wanted to, you could build these gunpla figures in the bath.

If you want to nab these figures for yourself, you will be able to do so in Japan starting this July. There is no word on whether these bath bombs will be available outside of Japan. There is also no telling on what sort of scents these Gundam bath bombs will come in, but as long as it avoids oil and that new cockpit smell, we’ll be good.
