The Gundam franchise almost ceased to exist if Bandai hadn't bought the rights from Clover. Clover made diecast Gundam toys(albeit not screen accurate).The toys didn't sell well and had it not been for Bandai's Gunpla line the franchise may have never made it past 1979. Although their Gundam stint was brief, Clover still made some pretty neat looking figures. So why can I not find any articles about the toy line?
