Bandai has announced a brand new lineup of exclusive merchandise based on the classic anime series “Mobile Suit Gundam” that will be exclusive to one specific area of Japan.
The newly revealed “STRICT-G JAPAN” collection features a breathtaking illustration of the iconic RX-78-2 mobile suit set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji, and will only be available at one retail location in the same prefecture as Japan’s highest peak.
Directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the original 1979 “Mobile Suit Gundam” anime revolutionized the mecha genre by introducing realistic military themes and complex political conflicts.
The story follows the fierce One Year War between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon.
The narrative focuses on the young pilot Amuro Ray as he takes control of the experimental RX-78-2 machine.
One of the most famous moments from the show is the “Last Shooting” pose.
During this legendary scene, the heavily damaged mobile suit points its beam rifle toward the sky in a final, desperate attack.
The “STRICT-G JAPAN” line is dedicated to promoting the appeal of Japanese design by blending traditional art with popular mecha aesthetics.
This exciting announcement follows in the wake of two stunning “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” Sukajan jackets recently revealed by the dedicated Gundam fashion brand.
This new wave of merchandise features a dynamic, brushstroke-style painting that brings the legendary pose to life in a traditional style.
Let’s take a look at the designs in closer detail!
