First Gundam and Seed are really becoming an older fan series. I believe the Pocky article mentioned that they are targeting 30+ year olds. According to Gundam for Adults volume 1 the largest age bracket for Gundam Seed was the 35-39 year olds at 28.7% followed by the 30-34 at 18.4%. In contrast only 3.4% of the Turn A fans were 35-39. Every Gundam series before Seed had it's largest bracket in the teens range. Seed is the first non-UC Gundam that is drawing in fans from the First series like me. Magazines like Model Graphix B-Club and Hobby Japan were huge when I was a kid. These magazines were almost mecha plamodel exclusive magazines. Even NewType had a Sunrise mecha cover and poster every month for it's first 5 years. Most of these fans are now older and the 3000 Yen+ price for a MG kit (as opposed to the older under 500 Yen) proves it. I believe you will also find more older Japanese fans in general, and real robot shows really evolved in the 80s. |
