Bandai Namco Amusement has opened pre-orders for a Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury themed tomato cultivation kit, which is being sold under the Chara Pop store brand. The product was teased earlier this October.
Pre-orders for the product will be sold in limited quantities from November 6, 2023 to December 18, 2023 for 3,300 yen (US$21.87), including tax. It is scheduled to be shipped out in around March 2024.
The cultivation kit contains the tomato seeds, special culture soil, and instructions on how to set up and maintain the plant. It will also come in a steel can, branded with the silhouettes of Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran. Fans can expect to see a sprout in around two weeks.
Voice actress Kana Ichinose, who voiced Suletta in the show, paid a visit to the Chara Pop store and showed off her own kit that she received.
