Premium Bandai Opens Reservations For Four Gundam Backpack Tote Bags
The three returning suits carry the lineup while the Mini Ver. tests a cheaper entry point, and the whole thing rides on a backpack gimmick that turns a bag purchase into cosplay.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Premium Bandai begins taking reservations at 13:00 on October 9 for four Mobile Suit Gundam Backpack-Motif 2-Way Tote Bags. The Gundam, Zaku, and Gouf models return at 5,940 yen each, joined by a new Gundam Model Mini Ver. at 4,400 yen. Each is a tote that also wears as a backpack. Reservations close at 23:00 on November 1; shipping is scheduled for December 2026.
The reservation window runs from 13:00 on October 9 to 23:00 on November 1. Premium Bandai notes orders may close once the planned quantity is reached, and that orders may be accepted again afterward.
The design borrows from the equipment mounted on the backs of the mobile suits in Mobile Suit Gundam, which the line calls backpacks. Each bag works as a tote or as a backpack, so carrying it on your back reads as the suit itself. The three returning models keep the same 5,940 yen price, while the new Mini Ver. sits at 4,400 yen.
