New Gundam: IBO merch collection celebrates 10 years since the series’ debut
Bandai has unveiled a new series of apparel and accessories through its dedicated Gundam fashion label STRICT-G to commemorate a significant milestone for one of the most intense entries in the long-running mecha franchise.
This collection is designed to celebrate the 10th broadcast anniversary of a series known for its visceral combat and emotional storytelling by translating its symbols and key visuals into wearable items.
The “Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans” collection translates the gritty aesthetic of the anime into a range of graphic t-shirts and practical daily goods.
The designs focus heavily on the main mobile suit Gundam Barbatos as well as the emblems of the factions involved in the story, such as the iron-willed Tekkadan and the aristocratic Gjallarhorn.
Let’s take a look at the full product lineup!
- STRICT-G Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans T-Shirt
- Price: 4,730 yen (approx. $32.00 USD / £25.50 GBP)
These short-sleeve cuts are available in three varieties, including a white tee with a large Barbatos print and a design listing the titles of the first season episodes.
The third option features the Barbatos startup logo printed in glow-in-the-dark ink.
- STRICT-G Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Long Sleeve T-Shirt
