About the Gundam Series
The Mobile Suit Gundam series is a cornerstone of robot anime, broadcasting for over 40 years since its start in 1979. The latest entry, Mobile Suit Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway – Kirke no Majo (which can be translated as “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash – The Witch of Kirke”), is scheduled to premiere on January 30, 2026. This film is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 hit, Mobile Suit Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway.
The Red Comet’s Signature Machine
One character who symbolizes the Gundam series is the Zeon ace pilot feared by the Earth Federation as the “Red Comet,” Shaa Azunaburu. This new merchandise is a tissue box cover modeled after his famous custom Zaku, complete with its distinctive red and pink color scheme.

The Clever Design Detail
The most recognizable feature of the Shaa Custom Zaku is the blade antenna on its head—a mark of a squadron leader. This item features a unique and playful design where the tissues themselves represent this iconic antenna.
