Ichiban Kuji's latest collaboration with the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED brand, slated to debut in Japan on Friday, March 15, 2024, promises to delight lovers of both the Gundam universe and Cup no Fuchiko collectors. This special alliance commemorates two milestones: the 20th anniversary of the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series and the successful premiere of the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom film in January 2024.
The collab features an exclusive line of memorabilia that combines Gundam SEED's classic mecha designs with Cup no Fuchiko's whimsical charm. The Ichiban Kuji Mobile Suit Gundam SEED x Cup no Fuchiko series, priced at 800 yen (with a 10% tax), will be sold sequentially in certain retail outlets including as bookstores, hobby shops, selected game centers, the Ichiban Kuji official shop, and online. Fans are recommended to stay informed of any potential changes to the release schedule or availability.
This collection is a unique combination of two popular franchises. The collaboration, which includes tiny models of Gundam SEED characters in Cup no Fuchiko's distinctive stances as well as unusual themed goods such as keychains and mini-figures, provides a different take on fandom memorabilia. Characters like Athrun Zala, Kira Yamato, and Lacus Clyne are reinvented in Cup no Fuchiko's appealing style, making them a welcome addition to any collection.
