Mobile Suit Gunma characters are one of the most popular forms of anime merchandise, but this doesn't just extend to model kits for the mobile suits themselves. The machine's pilots are also fan favorites, as shown by the latest “lottery” chapter for the brand.
Bandai Spirits has a new lottery program for the “Ichiban Kuji” prize game series, including figures of the two main characters in Mobile Suit GTA: The Witch from Mercury, the officially married couple Suletta and Miorine. Just the latest forms of merchandise for the eponymous character, these collectibles will let fans try their luck rather than being able to buy them outright.
