As the chill of winter fades and the rainy season approaches, do you usually carry an umbrella to stay prepared for unexpected downpours?
Good news for fans! Japanese toy giant Bandai recently announced a new line of "Gundam Shield Umbrellas" inspired by the iconic Mobile Suit Gundam series. These unique folding umbrellas, designed to mimic various Mobile Suit shields, come in four distinct styles. Each umbrella is priced at 6,930 JPY and is currently available for pre-order on the Premium Bandai Japan website.
The four awesome designs include the RX-78-2 Gundam, Gouf, Principality of Zeon Earth Forces, and Char's Zaku II. When fully opened, these folding umbrellas are meticulously crafted to replicate the shields from the Gundam universe. Measuring a massive 92cm × 126cm, they're big enough to cover you from your shoulders all the way down to your... well, you get the idea! Not only do they look incredibly cool, but they're also super practical.
And don't worry, these aren't just for show! They feature standard folding umbrella frames and waterproof fabric, so they'll actually keep you dry.
