Giant robots with decades of history: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom continued the Cosmic Era saga around pilot Kira Yamato in 2024, showing impressively how alive the Gundam franchise still is 45 years after its start. At Elbenwald, the current focus is on a keychain range from the newer Gundam series GQuuuuuuX – a different chapter of the same vast Mobile Suit cosmos, with its own universe and its own freshly told story.
The Gundam franchise has ranked among Japan's most influential mecha series since 1979 and has produced numerous standalone series and timelines over the decades – from the classic Universal Century to the Cosmic Era saga around Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and its 2024 sequel, SEED Freedom. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Gundam merchandise, currently from the newer series Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, which told its own alternate version of the franchise's story in 2025 and became one of the most successful Gundam films of all time in Japan.
Hardly any other franchise has shaped the giant-robot anime genre like Gundam: realistic depictions of war instead of pure heroism, political conflicts instead of simple good-versus-evil setups. SEED Freedom continues this tradition in the Cosmic Era timeline around pilot Kira Yamato, while GQuuuuuuX takes a bold step: the series tells an alternate version of the original Universal Century story, in which antagonist Char Zeon helps secure victory – a twist that surprised even longtime fans and sparked plenty of discussion.
A Plat Collection keychain range with four designs from the series Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX – compact fan items for on the go.
The fourth feature film in the SEED series, released in 2024, continuing the Cosmic Era story around pilot Kira Yamato.
Barely at all: GQuuuuuuX plays out in its own alternate version of the Universal Century timeline and is therefore a standalone story within the larger Gundam multiverse.
Currently in the range: the Plat Collection keychain range from GQuuuuuuX with four design variants – ready-to-carry fan items for your keyring or bag.
