Coming from Helen, a UK anime industry icon, this means a whole lot - thank you! 🙏
If you’re visiting Ikebukuro from June 19th onwards (specifically the Sunshine City mall), maybe check out the Gundam Pop-up Corner in the Bandai Namco Cross Store! There’s been Gundam merch there for a good while, but neat that it'll now have a dedicated area.
Darn, a fresh reprint of Hirotoshi Sano’s ‘Edge of Gundam’ book, in 2026..? Pre-ordered!
An exhibition showcasing a wide range of legendary art director & animator Hirotoshi Sano’s work will be taking place at the Tagawa Museum of Art in Kyushu - from June 27 to August 23. Crossing fingers it makes its way to Tokyo at one stage!

Hathaway merch hasn’t leaned into the cute aesthetic as much as some other Gundam sub-IPs, I assume due to its ‘prestige’ status and tone - but when it does happen… 🤩 (a suite of key chains, badges, standees).

Yes, the travel guides return! Particularly fun this one, after having had the chance to visit Cairo last year (albeit very briefly). ✈️
Just thinking about the life-size Unicorn Gundam being disassembled this September… 🥹 If you’ve had the chance to visit any of the 1:1 Gundams, I’d love to see a pic or two!
There’s a fair bit of discussion around the arrangement of this new Ichiban Kuji RX-78-2 Gundam bust (primarily the shoulders), but all I can focus on is what surely are adorable little Haros snuck into the chest area!
