I’ve had this tab open on Razer’s page for a while now and I’d usually be excited for anything Gundam-related, heck we’ve covered Gundam in length in this site including guides on where to buy Gundam replacement parts or where to find replacement for a lost Gundam manual, and so much more. Still, there’s just something off about this Razer | Mobile Suit Gundam collab. We’ve been covering Razer before they even released their first mechanical keyboard more than a decade ago and its nice to see the company take the gaming lifestyle brand to a new stratosphere. So when I saw this post on social media, I jumped to see what’s on offer. And below is what the Razer | Mobile Suite Gundam collab includes:
Like I said, I appreciate Razer as lifestyle company and as a gaming company but never in my wildest dreams would they sit down in a meeting with Sunrise and walk out with the license for Gundam only to make… hoodies. I’m quite familiar with how this IP is being licensed and we’ve worked with brands who’ve had some stellar products from their Mobile Suit Gundam collab and Razer skipping out on making gaming peripherals is such a missed opporunity.
Also, seeing the RX-78-2 in green and only green is just something I’m not gonna get used to.
