To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the broadcast of "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ," Bandai is releasing three T-shirts through its apparel line STRICT-G JAPAN. The shirts feature the mobile suits ZZ Gundam, Qubeley, and Quin Mantha in a dynamic ink brush style. Each shirt is made in Japan from 100 percent cotton, with sizes ranging from M to XXL. The price is 6,600 yen per shirt, tax included. Pre-orders opened on July 24, 2026, at 13:00 JST via the Premium Bandai online store and will run until August 9, 2026, at 23:00 JST. General retail sales begin July 25, 2026, at four physical STRICT-G locations: Tokyo Odaiba Store, Tokyo Solamachi Store, NEOPASA Shizuoka (Down) Store, and Taga SA (Down) Store. Shipments are scheduled for August 2026. The shirts are part of the STRICT-G JAPAN series, which focuses on Japanese manufacturing quality and design.
The three mobile suits chosen for the anniversary shirts represent key factions from the series: the protagonist's ZZ Gundam, the antagonist Haman Karn's Qubeley, and the massive Quin Mantha. The ink brush artwork is meant to convey motion and energy, a departure from the clean line art typical of Gundam apparel. STRICT-G JAPAN emphasizes that the garments are cut-and-sew products made in Japan, with a silhouette tailored to Japanese body shapes. The shirts are available in four sizes (M, L, XL, XXL) and are priced uniformly at 6,600 yen. Pre-orders on Premium Bandai are limited to the period ending August 9, and stock may sell out before that date. Physical stores begin selling on July 25, though inventory at each location is subject to change. The shirts are produced by Bandai and carry the copyright of Sotsu and Sunrise.
