Tanuki Suletta is the star of new 7-Eleven x Gundam: The Witch from Mercury collab
Fans of “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” can now get exclusive free gifts when they buy cup noodles from 7-Eleven.
As part of a special collaboration campaign between the Gundam franchise and the convenience store giant 7-Eleven, customers will receive exclusive merchandise with purchases of a range of popular instant noodle products.
This collaboration has already seen an exclusive gunpla kit released in 7-Eleven stores, which saw such high demand that it was being resold for several times its original cost a mere 24 hours after going on sale.
“Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” premiered in 2022 and was the first mainline “Gundam” anime to feature a female protagonist, Suletta Mercury.
Set in a future where corporations have expanded into space and a powerful mobile suit technology known as GUND-ARM has been developed, the series follows Suletta’s journey as she navigates the complex politics and rivalries of the Asticassia School of Technology.
The collaboration with Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will see 7-Eleven stores across Japan will be offering limited-edition collaboration packaging for Maruchan’s popular “Vertical Big Red Tanuki Tempura Udon” and “Vertical Big Green Kitsune Soba” instant noodles.
These iconic Japanese instant noodle varieties will feature special artwork showcasing the series’ main characters, Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran, adorably dressed as a tanuki (raccoon dog) and a kitsune (fox), respectively.
Maruchan’s “Vertical Big” series is known for its substantial portion size, making them a popular choice for a quick and satisfying meal in Japan.
In addition to the specially packaged instant noodles, the collaboration campaign includes a bonus offer for customers.
For every purchase of two eligible products from Maruchan’s range of Kitsune or Tanuki Udon noodles, customers will receive one of four exclusive original clear stands.
These clear stands feature artwork of Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran from “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury”.
The Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury x 7-Eleven campaign will run until May 28th, although the availability of the four different designs is strictly limited to just 5 of each design per store so fans will need to be quick to secure these exclusive collectables.
