With these, you can reenact climactic showdowns or simply decorate your desk with a nod to the epic saga that is Mobile Suit Gundam.
The Zeon’s Rush deck plays a symphony of red and green, paying tribute to the distinguished exploits of Char Aznable’s renowned Zeon forces and Full Frontal’s Neo Zeon troops from series such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Unicorn.
