Gundam were originally an anime, and the models came after. It fits the bill for "anime term".

Gunpla isn't the same thing as Gundam though. It is useful to have a short word to refer to the plastic models.

Just say "Gundam Models" or "Gundam Kits". It's not that damn hard.
And "Gunpla" as a word just sounds incredibly stupid. Say it out loud, it sounds ridiculous.

Gunpla are specifically the plastic models that you build though. Calling them all Gundam won't carry the same meaning and makes it harder to distinguish it from an action figure.
Should also add that Gunpla is a Japanese term written entirely in katakana and they love to reduce complex foreign words to one or two syllable terms that carry the same meaning.

No! I don't say Gunpla either. I say model kit. Not all my kits are Gundams so to call them gundams is just silly. Majority of the kits you get are Mobile Suits! Not Gundams you pleb
Unless we're talking Seed where everyone and their mother gets a Gundam. Don't get me started with that bs

Those take longer to say or type.

Gunpla sounds fine to me and it isn't like Gundam isn't somewhat weird also.

Gundam flows a lot better as a word verbally.
In text, who gives a shit.
Also, one extra word is too much for you? Really?

But they ARE all from shows with "Gundam" in the title. Technically speaking.
Gunpla is still in idiotic word.

Yes, but not everything is a Gundam!
I get the term "Gundam Kit" as it can be a kit from "Gundam". However, if you refer to my kit as just a "Gundam" and it's not a Gundam I will flip my s***

Okay, but that doesn't solve the problem. It solves "a problem", but does not solve "the problem". I haven't watched any of the new Gundam shows and still buy their respective kits. And seed/seed destiny is s***, but I'll still pick up a kit if it looks cool.

"Gunpla" is fine, tbh. There are actual shows based around them, so calling them "Gundam models" or "Gundam toys" wouldn't be right; they'd sound more generic

Idk, who cares about whether lightning and a hardly noticeable hair change is enough to differentiate SS1 and SS2? (It is, and shut up)
