Don’t Worry, Zeon’s Got Your Back with Super Deformed Comfy Cute Cushions

By James Robert Shaw (The Wind up Geek)

From the Bandai Life homeware Division comes four unique Mobile Suit Gundam cushions. As part of the Hito Yasumi Head Cushion series, the mobile suits of the Zeon army, MS-06 Zaku II, MS-06S Zaku II, MS-07 Gouf, and MS-09 Dom have been recreated in super-deformed versions. Each cushion is a hemispherical type bearing an “angular robot likeness” to the mobile suits (robots) from the series. Each mobile suit cushion comes in a different colour and each has a singular eye called the “mono eye”. Each cushion will retail for 4,104 yen ($34.79 US, $46.39 CAN, or £27.84 GBP) each (including tax, excluding shipping and handling fees).

The Hito Yasumi Head Cushion series is a series of anime characters reinterpreted in cushion form and follows the popular Hito Yasumi Arm Cushion series. The cushions can be used as additional back support for the office chair, a pillow at a desk for quick naps, or to decorate a room. The head cushions can be pre-ordered online at Premium Bandai or purchased at participating Japanese retail outlets at time of release.

The Gundam franchise was principally developed by renowned animator Yoshiyuki Tomino in 1979 and a revolving group of Sunrise creators who went under the collective pseudonym of “Hajime Yatate”. Gundam first appeared on television as an animated series titled Mobile Suit Gundam. Gundam can currently be seen in the hit animated series Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
