Gundam Brings Back 3 Classic Mobile Suits for New Official Embroidered T-Shirt Collection
Bandai is expanding its official Gundam fashion lineup with six new embroidered T-shirts inspired by some of the franchise’s most popular mobile suits and classic anime series.
The new “STRICT-G Gundam Series Embroidered T-Shirt” and “STRICT-G Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ Logo Embroidered T-Shirt” collections bring together designs from Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and After War Gundam X, combining detailed artwork with familiar faction emblems and logos.
STRICT-G is Bandai’s official Gundam fashion brand, producing clothing and accessories inspired by the franchise’s mobile suits, characters and organizations, often collaborating with established Japanese fashion labels and manufacturers.
The three anime series represented in the new collection span almost two decades of Gundam history, beginning with the original Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979, followed by Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ in 1986 and After War Gundam X in 1996.
Both later series are celebrating major anniversaries in 2026, with Gundam ZZ marking 40 years and Gundam X reaching its 30th anniversary.
STRICT-G has already marked these milestones with several collections, including new Gundam X 30th anniversary T-shirts and a special Judau Ashta flight jacket inspired by the protagonist of Gundam ZZ.
The new designs also expand STRICT-G’s existing embroidery series, which previously brought three famous mobile suits from the original Gundam anime to a range of heavyweight cotton T-shirts.
For this latest collection, Bandai has divided the six designs into two groups, with three featuring detailed mobile suit illustrations and another three dedicated to the logos and organizations of Gundam ZZ.
The first group uses small embroidered emblems on the front, with larger illustrations stitched across the back, while the second adopts a more understated appearance with tonal embroidery and a washed finish intended to give the fabric a vintage look.
Let’s take a look at all six designs!.

- After War Gundam X: Gundam X (Navy)
A navy T-shirt decorated with a small Gundam X logo on the chest and an embroidered illustration of the GX-9900 Gundam X on the reverse, based on the mobile suit piloted by Garrod Ran in the 1996 anime.
- STRICT-G Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ Logo Embroidered T-Shirts

A dark charcoal design featuring the emblem of Haman Karn’s Neo Zeon forces, embroidered across the back with a smaller matching detail on the chest.
- Gundam ZZ Eyecatch Logo
A T-shirt featuring the Gundam ZZ logo associated with the anime’s eyecatch sequences, using raised tonal embroidery on the front and back to create a more subdued design.
All six shirts use heavyweight cotton fabric with polyester embroidery and are available in sizes M, L, XL, and XXL.
The three mobile suit designs feature colorful illustrations across the back, while the Gundam ZZ logo shirts use washing treatments to give them a worn-in appearance, with embroidery that remains close to the color of the surrounding fabric.
Pre-orders for both collections are now open through the STRICT-G Online Store on Premium Bandai Japan, with the mobile suit T-shirts priced at ¥8,800 each (approximately $56 / £42) and the Gundam ZZ logo designs available for ¥7,700 each (approximately $49 / £36).
Japanese pre-orders are scheduled to close on November 15, 2026, at 11:00 PM JST, with shipping planned for later in November.
The six designs will also go on sale at STRICT-G’s physical stores in Japan from November 14, 2026, including its locations at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, Tokyo Solamachi, NEOPASA Shizuoka, and the Taga Service Area.
A US release through Premium Bandai US is yet to be confirmed, however, most STRICT-G collections now get international releases, so it’s worth checking back regularly to see if pre-orders have opened.
