Bandai has announced a new line of merchandise for Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, featuring cute ties worn by the main characters in the series and a premium tool bag. The ties are designed after the uniforms of the Asticassia School of Technology, with the standard tie being a red tie with a black line near the lower end, worn by most students including one of the main protagonists, Miorine Rembran. The other tie is a special one reserved for the best duelist in the school, also known as the Holder. This gold tie, with the same black line near the lower end, is exclusively worn by the main protagonist of the series, Suletta Mercury.
The premium tool bag included in this new line of merchandise is a unique addition as it is not seen being used by characters in the anime. The bag boasts a minimalist design similar to the ties, with only the iconic blue color of Gundam Aerial and the Gund-Arm Inc. logo serving as noticeable design elements. However, the interior of the bag is what truly sets it apart as a tool bag. It features multiple compartments and slip pockets of varying sizes, providing ample space for a variety of items.
The announcement also mentioned the limited amount of products that can be pre-ordered for this first batch of merchandise. 20 pcs per order, and 20 pcs per person. So it’s highly likely that the merch will be sold out not long after the announcement.
Currently in the middle of its second season, Gundam: The Witch from Mercury has captured the attention of long-time fans and new viewers alike. As with previous Gundam series, merchandise sales are a key aspect of the franchise's success. Bandai has already released a variety of Gunpla models based on the series, and fans can expect even more products to hit the market in the coming months.
