Gundam Model 40th Anniversary UT Lineup
| The Fin Funnel characteristic of v-Gundam (Nu Gundam) is printed on the back. Also noteworthy is Amuro’s personal emblem and Gundam in the plastic model design drawing. | The illustration printed on the Unicorn Gundam plastic model packaging has been arranged to resemble a photo T-shirt. The lettering is also taken from the model package design. |
| The Strike Freedom Gundam that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny is rendered in a line drawing of its signature pose with wings outstretched. | This design uses the injection molding runner from the first Gundam. A silhouette of a Gundam face has been recreated with embroidery and the Gundam model brand name tag logo casually adorns the sleeve. |
| The Zaku II name is printed on the front in a logo T-shirt design. The back print is a pattern motif of the Zaku plastic model design drawing, evoking images of mass production at a factory. | The Qubeley that appears in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is portrayed in a striking silhouette. The design features a beam emerging from the back funnel, as well as exhaust ports and lamps on the sleeves. |
| The Hyaku-Shiki that appears in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam features as a silhouette. The “hyaku” character engraved on the shoulder of the mobile suit adorns both sleeves, and the shirt is the same body color as Hyaku-Shiki. | Char Aznable’s last mobile suit Sazabi is used in a bold print design on the back. Details include the symbol used by the reborn Neo Zeon forces engraved on the mobile suits, as well as Char’s personal emblem. |
