Bandai’s official Gundam apparel brand STRICT-G is deploying to Osaka. The new STRICT-G LUCUA South store holds its grand opening on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, inside “LUCUA Characters World” on the 11th floor of LUCUA South, the new annex of the LUCUA Osaka fashion building connected to JR Osaka Station.
STRICT-G brings the world of the Gundam franchise into fashion. The brand launched in April 2012 with two shops, at Gundam Front Tokyo and NEOPASA Shizuoka, and currently runs four stores in Japan carrying original designs and collaborations with well-known Japanese brands.
Osaka-only items
To mark the opening, the store will carry a lineup of Osaka-limited goods. The headliner is the Mobile Suit Gundam sukajan (souvenir jacket), Osaka pattern, which boldly features the RX-78-2 Gundam set against famous Osaka sights. Other Osaka items include:
- A kamawanu tenugui cloth featuring “Takoyaki Haro”
- An Osaka T-shirt
- An Osaka acrylic keychain
- An Osaka mug
- An Osaka tote bag and pouch
Bandai says these items and the opening campaign are not available through Premium Bandai or at other STRICT-G stores.

Shoppers who spend 3,000 yen or more (tax included) at the LUCUA South store will receive a limited Haro pin that can only be obtained there. The iron pin measures about 35 mm square.
