The magazine came under fire after Gunpla hobbyists recently found that one of its editors had written posts publically defending the scalping and reselling of models, which is generally prohibited by manufacturers.
The scalping and reselling of Gunpla models and figures have been a recurring problem in Japan as of late.
Monthly Gunpla model magazine Hobby Japan has issued an apology via Twitter after one of its editors was found defending third-party reselling and scalping of products on their personal social media accounts.
The publisher stated that it did not condone the employee’s beliefs, and would punish them in line with company policy.
