Working on a New T-Shirt Design
🕑 Added 2025-10-22 16:16:51 +0000 UTCI've been iterating a new t-shirt design based off the Zaku-daruma print I made for our SD season - the new one is inspired by samurai helmets and the Musha Gundam.
The design will eventually incorporate some calligraphy and, also inspired by SD Gundam, we've picked some ateji (kanji chosen for their reading/sound) for "podcast" / ポッドキャスト:
Po / ポッ: 点 spot, point, mark, speck, decimal point
d / ど: 呶 noisy
ca / キャ: 踋 the foot or feet, cast of a play
s / ス: 芻 grass cutting, hay
t / ト: 徒 on foot, junior, emptiness, vanity, futility, uselessness, ephemeral thing, gang, set, party, people
What are your favorite kinds of merch? Should we be making more stickers? Art prints? Let us know in the comments, and stay genki!

I love it. I want one with a beanie on like machu haro beanie. But I’m obsessed with beanies. They belong everywhere imo lol

I really loved the Red Comet calligraphy you did and I would buy a t-shirt version or mug of that in a heartbeat.

Years ago, a friend made my wife a fabric and felt Totoro that lives on our dresser. At some point, one of its felted pupils fell off and was lost... Which turned it into a neat daruma! 😋

This is awesome! I will definitely grab a t shirt or hoodie is that is an option when they drop. I prefer stickers for merch. I like to put them on my hobby mat or make them into magnets for my car or fridge!

I would love magnets!

I'm hoping to finish the design in the next couple weeks, but can't say for certain when they'll be available for purchase. In the past, we've made our original designs available on Threadless (https://gundampodcast.threadless.com), so it will probably be there. Regardless, we'll be sure to post about how to get them once they're ready!

I’ve heard acrylic standees are becoming quite popular because they’re easy to make and nice to display. I’m personally quite fond of magnets

I really like the design and the inspiration, this is great! If you did a limited run of this design on oversized hoodies I think they would sell.

This is cool! Where will these be available and when!?
