New Gunpla and various content have been released for each anniversary, but this year, the GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION (Gundam Pavilion), one of the pavilions at the 2025 World Expo, Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo), which began on April 13, is attracting attention.

In the new video "GUNDAM:Next Universal Century," which can be viewed inside the Gundam Pavilion, which has the theme of the connection between "Gundam" and the "future," a life-sized Gundam statue in a kneeling pose is enshrined next to the pavilion. In addition, there is a review example of the Gunpla kit "EXPO2025 1/144 RX-78F00/E Gundam (EX-001 Glass Feather Equipped)," which has a close relationship with the Gundam Pavilion.
