Bandai Museum / 1980~1990

The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall @ TEPIA was established by Association for Technological Excellence Promoting Innovative Advances (TEPIA) in 1989. It is a venue in which visitors can learn about a variety of advanced technologies that are the pride of Japan. They can also learn about the role plastics play in these technologies.

1980~1990

The first MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM plastic models were sold. To date, over 400 million plastic model kits of this enormously popular series have been sold. This decade also saw the appearance of game consoles (popularly called Family Computers) for family use that were connected to the TV and on which all kinds of games could be played by just popping in different game cassettes, and transformer robots that could change into different forms.
