12 Best Hobby Shops in Singapore (2026)

Singapore's hobby-shop scene is broader than it looks, running from Gunpla and scale military models to radio-controlled cars, tabletop miniatures and model railways. This guide rounds up well-known hobby shops across the island, spanning Bandai's official Gundam flagship, veteran scale-model and diecast specialists, RC stores and tabletop-gaming hubs, plus online retailers that ship nationwide. Each was checked against its own website or store listing in 2026, so treat it as a shortlist for your particular hobby rather than a ranking.

The Gundam Base Singapore is Bandai Namco's official Gundam flagship, which opened at Jewel Changi Airport on 3 February 2026 as the country's first permanent Gundam Base. It carries Gunpla across the full range of grades, from Entry Grade and High Grade up to Master Grade and Perfect Grade, alongside Base-exclusive kits the operator says are hard to find elsewhere locally. A 1.8-metre RX-78-2 statue anchors the entrance, and the store says it runs a dedicated build area plus free beginner-friendly Gunpla workshops on weekends.

VCA Gundam is a Singapore hobby store that bills itself as the island's No.1 Gunpla destination, focused on Bandai plastic model kits across HG, RG, MG and PG grades. Beyond Gunpla it stocks anime and mecha figures plus the tools, paints, panel-liners and diorama supplies builders need to finish a kit. It runs a physical outlet at AZ@Paya Lebar alongside its own website and marketplace shops, so you can browse in person or order online for delivery across Singapore.

Ani Mecha is a Gundam and model-kit shop on the second floor of a shophouse along Keong Saik Road near Outram and Chinatown. It carries Gunpla across grades such as HGUC, RG, MG and PG alongside Kotobukiya and Good Smile kits, figures, and finishing supplies from lines like Mr Hobby, Madworks and Dspiae. The shop runs both a physical store and an online shop, so you can walk in to browse curated shelves or order for delivery, which suits builders after Bandai and Kotobukiya lines in one visit.

Just for Collectors, known as JFC, is a Gunpla-focused retailer stocking Bandai kits across the grade range plus third-party mecha, Girlpla, Digimon and Pokemon kits, and a deep bench of building supplies from nippers and markers to cement and decals. It runs a walk-in store at Toh Guan Centre near Jurong East and offers order collection at Jurong East and Woodlands by appointment, on top of its website. The emphasis on affordable kits and tools makes it a practical option for builders stocking up.

Hobby Point is a long-running model-kit shop in Bras Basah Complex that leans towards scale modelling as much as Gunpla. Alongside Bandai kits it carries military, aircraft, ship and car models from brands such as Tamiya, Trumpeter, Hobby Boss, Academy, Dragon, Italeri and Revell, plus airbrushes, compressors and paints from lines like Mr Hobby and Gaia Notes. That breadth of scale-model stock and finishing gear makes it a useful stop for hobbyists building beyond robots.

The Orchard Store is a heritage toys-and-hobby shop in Orchard Plaza that the business traces back to 1953. It stocks plastic model kits together with the harder-to-find corners of the hobby: model railways, diecast and plastic collectables, and resin and vinyl kits. For modellers chasing trains, collectable scale vehicles or older-style kits rather than only Gunpla, its long-established range and central Orchard location make it one of the city's veteran specialist stores.

Radio Control Sports is a Singapore RC specialist covering the serious end of the hobby: on-road and off-road cars and trucks, boats, planes, gliders and helicopters. It carries recognised brands including ARRMA, Axial, Losi, Team Associated, Tekno and FMS, along with radio systems, batteries, chargers, tools and spare parts. It runs a shopfront at Fook Hai Building on South Bridge Road plus an online store shipping within Singapore, which suits hobbyists sourcing specific kits, upgrades and replacement parts rather than only browsing a shelf.

Hobby Square is an RC hobby shop in Sim Lim Square with a matching online store, stocking radio-controlled cars for drift, crawling, trucks and buggies plus FPV and racing drones, quadcopters, boats, planes, helicopters and even RC tanks. It carries brands such as WLtoys, MJX and SkyRC along with batteries, chargers, motors, propellers and spares, and says it offers repair and maintenance for drones and RC gear. A physical counter in a well-known electronics mall makes it handy for beginners picking up parts in person.

HammerHouse is a tabletop-gaming shop on Temple Street near Chinatown built around Warhammer and miniature hobbyists. Spread across two levels, it pairs retail with gaming tables and stocks miniatures, paints, tools and board games; the shop says it carries thousands of hobby products. It also says it runs beginner paint workshops with hands-on coaching and free demo games so newcomers can try before buying. That combination of shop, painting space and play area makes it a community hub rather than just a place to buy boxes.

Games@PI, on Orchard Road opposite Somerset MRT, calls itself Singapore's largest board-game shop and carries far more than cardboard: board games, card games such as Magic: The Gathering, role-playing games including Dungeons and Dragons, and miniature war games including Warhammer and other Games Workshop lines. Its central Orchard location and broad range make it a strong one-stop for tabletop gamers, whether they want a family board game, a card-game restock or an entry into miniatures. It also sells online.

Hobby Bounties is a long-established Singapore hobby retailer built for scale modellers and collectors, carrying model railways under the Hornby banner, Scalextric slot-car racing, diecast collectables and plastic scale kits for aircraft, vehicles and ships. Stocked brands include Airfix, Humbrol, Peco, Dapol, Corgi and Italeri, alongside the paints, adhesives and tools to finish them. It says it is the Singapore distributor for Hornby and Scalextric, making it one of the few local sources for railway and slot-car supplies the Gunpla-focused shops do not carry.
