Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080 Pocket no Naka no Sensou - Santa Ad Balloon - 1/144 (Bandai Spirits)1/144 · Bandai Spirits

Bandai Spirits presents the Santa Ad Balloon as a 1/144 scale pre-painted figure from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Released as a THE GUNDAM BASE limited item, this soft vinyl advertising balloon figure requires no assembly, making it an accessible and unique collectible for Gundam enthusiasts. Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is a six-episode OVA set during the final days of the One Year War, told through the perspective of a young boy named Al Izuruha in the neutral space colony Side 6. The series is widely regarded as one of the most emotionally resonant entries in the Gundam franchise, focusing on the human cost of conflict rather than large-scale battles. The story follows the development of the NT-1 Alex Gundam and the tragic confrontation between Zeon cyclops team member Bernard Wiseman and Federation test pilot Christina Mackenzie. This novelty item captures a whimsical promotional element from the Gundam universe, rendered in soft vinyl at 1/144 scale. As a THE GUNDAM BASE exclusive, it was available through select retail locations including stores in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Sendai, and Yokohama.
