4 Gundams to rule them all

1. RX-78-2 Gundam G-Shock (S$280)

What would an anniversary be without the main – and probably most recognisable – robot of the animated series? The signature colours will be instantly recognisable to all Gundam fans out there.

2. MS-06S Char’s Zaku II G-Shock (S$220)

Because of its unrestrained thrusters and the hit-and-run tactics it employed, the MS-06S Zaku II was nicknamed “Red Comet”. This eye-catching red will announce your allegiance immediately and clearly.

3. RX-0 Unicorn Gundam G-Shock (S$220)

This G-Shock with a prisitine white coat and streaks of red is a show of elegance — and also that you know your Gundams well.

For the RX-78-2 Gundam, RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee, the watches will come nestled in a plastic “Haro” — the adorable green mascot of the Gundam series.

MS-06S Char’s Zaku II is treated more specially. It will come in a more menacing “Zaku Red Haro”.
