'Chokin Metal Art' is a new type of craftwork that combines the characteristics of two traditional crafts: 'Chokin', which used to be used to decorate armor helmets and Japanese swords, and the art craft 'Shippou-yaki', using modern technology.
The material used for the item is high-purity aluminum with a purity of over 99%, which is also used in high-class Japanese cars, and the entire process from the materials to manufacturing is done in Japan.
The latest technology made it possible to express pottery-like colors that cannot be expressed by conventional printing, such as the 'Shippou-yaki' style coloring, and the rough surface has been recreated by skillful craftsmanship.
The newly announced items are all from 'Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam': 'Chokin Metal Aret Sticker', 'Chokin Metal Art Magnet', and 'Chokin Metal Art Plate & Badge Clip'.
The items come in six designs: 'Kamille & Zeta Gundam', 'Quattro & Hyakushiki', 'Emma & Gundam Mk-II', 'Scirocco & The O', 'Haman & Qubeley', and 'Four & Psyco Gundam'.
'Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam' Chokin Metal Art Sticker' is priced at 1,100 JPY each (tax included), 'Chokin Metal Art Magnet' at 1,320 JPY each (tax included), and 'Chokin Metal Art Plate & Badge Clip' at 1,650 JPY each (tax included). The items will go on sale in late August 2021.

Notably missing from Netflix’s Gundam lineup is Zeta Gundam, the sequel series set seven years after the original Gundam, which provides essential characterization to the conflict in Char’s Counterattack. Char’s Counterattack can make even veteran fans feel a little lost, so it’s important to have at least some context going in. MSG is by far my favorite anime, not just my favorite Gundam series, and Zeta is a close second. The OVAs on the other hand are enjoyable, but no where near as memorable. I'd never recommend them to people that weren't already versed in the franchise first.

Char’s Counterattack can make even veteran fans feel a little lost, so it’s important to have at least some context going in. Some of the suits are from the Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Variations model kit series which were designed by fans and had there own back stories. The bulk of the Guest Apperences from MSV are during the Jabero Drop episode with altered color schemes for there Zeta Reissues. Mobile suits are also included from the aborted MS-X comic series. Zeta Gundam is the dark, powerful, emotional, and completely enjoyable follow up to the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam TV series. Like it's predecessor, the show orbits around conflict between space colonies and the earth that bore them, the politics of war, and the struggles of a young man growing up in hazardous times.
