Full Zip Gundam Parka

posted 08/10/06

Character goods maker cospa recently announced a row of new items including this quite notable parka.

It turns the wearer into something like a "DOM" mobile suits gundam sporting the typical "mono eye" on the face once the zipper is fully closed. On the chest it has the model number "MS 09" printed on.

Recently the full zip parker phenomenon can be seen all around but in combination with otaku related themes it should leave room for many interesting ideas.

A company spokesman said that while giving the wearer the possibility to become one of the three black Tri-Star Doms just by zipping up hood one must be aware of the fact that he probably won't be able to see anything anymore.
