Good Smile Company Officially Releases April Fool's Fundoshi Accessory

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.


Good Smile Company is doubling down on its April Fool's joke from earlier this year by actually selling fundoshi add-ons for its Nendoroid figure line. Fundoshi (traditional men's underwear) will come in both white and red and in rokushaku and etchū versions.

The accessory has its own official website and is part of the company's newly minted Orange Rouge line of male character merchandise. The site teases that a secret design will also be available and notes that it feels "divine," is a "gorgeous color," and it's so "dazzling." Is it possible that it's Gilgamesh's golden fundoshi?

Each loincloth costs 741 yen (US$6) and the accessory will ship in December. The item is the second "joke" recently to actually get created. The Anime University Co-Op Group sold Gochūmon wa Mahō Shōjo desu ka? goods, the April Fool's Is the order a rabbit? parody, at Comiket last month.
