If you've ever considered getting decked out in Mobile Suit Gundam gear, Razer has just revealed brand-new merch in collaboration with the popular Mecha franchise which includes clothing and an exclusive Iskur X chair design.

Revealed on February 26, Razer shared their new apparel via social media. The theme of the designs centres around two of the most iconic Gundams in the series - the RX-78-2 Gundam and Char’s Zaku II, who constantly find themselves butting heads.

As part of the collaboration, there are two distinct t-shirt designs (one for the RX-78-2 Gundam and one for Char’s Zaku II), a hoodie, sweatshirt, and the Razer Iskur X gaming chair, all featuring the long-time rivals with slick red and green patterns marking a stark contrast between the two.

Details about the merch drop are still scarce, sadly, as the announcement doesn't feature a release date nor prices for each Razer x Mobile Suit Gundam item. The merch can't be found at the online Razer store, suggesting more information will be given at a later date before it officially drops.

Based on current prices, however, we can at least expect the Iskur X gaming chair to cost at least $400 as that's the retail price for the base version. The XL edition is priced at $500, while the online store exclusive A Bathing Ape Quartz exclusive is being sold for $700.

Shockingly the collaboration is indeed missing some of Razer's most notable products such as gaming mice, keyboards, laptops, and headphones. Perhaps a bit more niche, but the fighting game player in me was expecting to see a Gundam-themed Razer kitsune as well, which was not meant to be.

Odd considering how well the aesthetics of a series like Gundam would blend with a company that's mostly tech-related. Still, if you're a huge Mobile Suit Gundam fan, you might want to consider picking some of this merch up when it drops
