Char Aznable is the subject of several merchandise releases across 2026, with the most recent being a Premium Bandai preorder for reproductions of his sunglasses from episode 12 of Mobile Suit Gundam. He also appears in the mobile suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX as a crane game prize figure.
Char Aznable's 2026 merchandise coverage spans multiple product lines and one new animated work. The most recent story, from October 5, covers Premium Bandai preorders for sunglasses he wears in episode 12 of Mobile Suit Gundam. The reproduction costs 15,400 yen, a version with Gihren Zabi printed on the lenses costs 16,500 yen, and a display stand using a scene cut from the same episode costs 3,300 yen. Preorders close January 31, with shipping set for February 2027.
Earlier in August, two separate merchandise announcements put Char in different contexts. STRICT-G added five T-shirts, including one with Char Aznable and one with his Zaku II, with preorders opening August 7 and general sales starting August 8. Banpresto announced prize figures of Char and Sharia Bull from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, each about 26 cm tall, appearing sequentially in crane games starting August 25, 2026. That same month, STRICT-G launched an Athrun Zala collection that also mentioned earlier Gunpla box art T-shirts featuring Amuro Ray and Char Aznable.
In July, a Gundam Base pop-up in Ehime Prefecture from August 1 to 30 was set to include Char Aznable merchandise among its offerings. The month before, a Keroro Gunso and Mobile Suit Gundam collaboration announced original illustrations from both creators and two collaboration Gunpla models.
