Bandai Majin Creation Wataru 1-SP Ryujinmaru (First Time Limited)

The Dragon God, and the kit that starts the collection

Ryujinmaru is the hero Mashin of Wataru, the dragon god that fights at Wataru's side, and it's item #01 in Bandai's current snap-fit Wataru model line. This is the First Time Limited edition, which is the one to get: it packs a bonus set of original parts that combine with the bonus parts from Fujinmaru and Kirinmaru to build a larger armoured dragon across the three kits. Moulded in colour with metallic gold on the head and its Toryuuken sword, it looks the part straight off the runner.

Build difficulty

Ryujinmaru goes together on Bandai's touch-gate, snap-fit system, so parts pull free by hand and no glue or paint is needed for a standard build. It sits at the easiest end of the range, a genuine one-sitting build and a good first kit for a younger or new builder. No tools are strictly required, though a pair of nippers gives cleaner runner removal.

Technical highlights

The head and the Toryuuken sword are moulded in metallic gold rather than painted, so the colour separation carries the look without any work from you. As the First Time Limited release it includes the bonus original-parts sprue for the three-kit dragon combination. Bandai hasn't published a part count or an assembled height for this release, so we've kept the specs here to what's actually confirmed rather than guessing.

What to watch for

We haven't found independent builder reviews for this specific kit yet, so we can't pass on verified fit-and-finish feedback. General note for a small snap kit like this: the metallic gold parts can pick up fingerprints, so handle them with clean hands, and keep the bonus original-parts sprue with the box if you plan to build the three-kit dragon later.

Builder tip: a light panel line on the recessed detail sharpens the look without any paint.

Build notes

No cement or paint required for a standard build. A pair of nippers is the only tool you really need, and it's a single-sitting build well suited to beginners. This is the First Time Limited edition, so it includes the bonus parts for the Fujinmaru and Kirinmaru dragon combination.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Gundam Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
