Get ready to channel your inner "hard worker" (and maybe a little bit of angst!) because Bandai's "BANDAI FASHION COLLECTION (バンコレ！)" has just dropped a new must-have for Mobile Suit Gundam Wing fans! They're releasing a faithful replica of the iconic hat worn by none other than the brooding, yet beloved, Duo Maxwell. Priced at 4,950 JPY, this piece of fandom fashion is currently available for pre-order on the Japanese Premium Bandai website.
For those who need a refresher, Duo Maxwell is the war orphan from the L2 Colony Cluster in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. After losing his parents in the conflict, he roamed the streets with other orphans, honing his agile skills by pilfering food to survive.
Originally taken in by a church, his life took a turn after its destruction when Dr. G recognized his potential, training him to become the pilot of the Deathscythe Gundam and a top-tier operative.
This cap is a meticulous recreation of the hat Duo wore during his very first appearance in the series. Every detail has been carefully considered to match the anime's aesthetic, from the overall shape to the adjustable strap, inner webbing, and even the embroidery on the back.
Flip it around, and you'll find "DUO MAXWELL" elegantly embroidered on the back.
Even the adjustment buckle features a cool design inspired by the Deathscythe Gundam itself!
