Show the Earth Federation the power of the Principality of Zeon with a new, unusually large cushion and slipper set modeled after the massive MA-08 Big Zam mobile armor from Mobile Suit Gundam.
The Premium Bandai website began offering the set for pre-order on Friday, and the pre-order will be available until 11:00 p.m. JST on September 25 or until a predetermined number of orders is reached. The set will ship at the end of December. The cushion and slipper set retails for 32,400 yen (about US$300) with tax included.
The cushion measures about 66 centimeters (about 2 feet) high by 95 centimeters (3 feet) wide by 66 centimeters deep. Both the cushion and the slippers are made of polyester.
Cushions inspired by the heads of the MSM-04 Acguy, MSM-07 Z'Gok, and MSM-07S Z'Gok mobile suits are shipping later this month.
The RX-78-2 Gundam statue in Odaiba is in the process of being replaced with a 1/1-scale RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. The area around the statue is currently open to the public, but construction will not be completed until September 24.
