Bandai's Gundam apparel shop STRICT-G is adding two NEW ERA caps and four STRICT-G BASIC bags, with pre-orders opening at 13:00 on October 22, 2026 at the STRICT-G Online Store within Premium Bandai. The caps are a 9FIFTY snapback carrying the Black Tri-Stars mark and a 9FORTY model with the NEW ERA logo and Haro embroidered on the front. Both cost 6,600 yen including tax and ship in November 2026. The bags come from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack as two shoulder bags and two tote bags, each done in an Amuro Ray design and a Neo Zeon design. Shoulder bags are navy or black at 9,350 yen, totes are 7,700 yen. In-store sales start October 24, 2026 for the bags and October 31, 2026 for the caps. Pre-order windows close November 1, 2026.
Planning is credited to Bandai across both drops. The 9FIFTY is built on NEW ERA's basic snapback model, with the Black Tri-Stars mark stitched in black on a black front, a tall wide crown and a flat visor the buyer can curve. The 9FORTY uses a classic silhouette meant to hold its shape, with the NEW ERA logo and Haro hopping around it in green thread on an ivory body, a deeper fit and a curved visor. Both caps share the same materials: polyester body and visor, cotton visor lining, polyester embroidery thread. Sizes run roughly 57.7cm to 61.5cm for the 9FIFTY and 56.8cm to 60.6cm for the 9FORTY.
The bag designs keep the emblems as single-point accents. The shoulder bags measure about H33.5 x W41.0 x D14.0 cm in nylon with a polyester lining, the totes about H35.5 x W47.0 x D12.5 cm in polyester with synthetic leather trim. All four are made in China. The online pre-order period runs from 13:00 on October 22 to 23:00 on November 1, 2026, and STRICT-G notes sales may close early once the prepared quantity is gone.
