Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is being commemorated for its 40th anniversary through a series of merchandise collaborations from STRICT-G, including aloha shirts and fans, with pre-orders and in-store sales underway in 2026.
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, the 1986-1987 direct sequel to Mobile Suit Z Gundam that depicts the First Neo Zeon War, is marking its 40th anniversary with a pair of merchandise collaborations from Bandai's STRICT-G apparel line. The series, which often receives less anniversary attention than its predecessor or successor, is getting two aloha shirt designs featuring the ZZ Gundam and the Qubeley Mk-II, each with faction logos from the AEUG and Neo Zeon. The shirts are made from lightweight rayon, priced at 16,500 yen, and available in sizes M through XXL. Pre-orders opened on Premium Bandai on May 29, 2026, and ran until June 14, with general in-store sales beginning June 13 at STRICT-G locations including Tokyo Odaiba and Tokyo Solamachi.
In July 2026, STRICT-G also partnered with Nishikawa Shōroku Shōten, a fan maker founded in 1585, to release four collaboration fans. Two of these are active fans that commemorate the 40th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and the 30th anniversary of After War Gundam X. The ZZ fan is one of only two active fan designs in the collaboration, alongside the Gundam X fan, while the other two fans feature the original Mobile Suit Gundam's Gundam and Char's Zaku II. Pre-orders for the fans opened on July 10, 2026, on Premium Bandai, with in-store sales starting July 18 and August 1. Together, these releases represent a rare official push for a series that has historically been overshadowed in anniversary merchandise.
