fragment design x Gundam Comes to Tamashii Nations Store in New York

Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design and Bandai Namco’s Tamashii Nations are bringing their much-anticipated collaboration to New York City, blending Japanese craftsmanship with streetwear culture. Following a coveted debut in Tokyo’s Harajuku district, the collection arrives at the Tamashii Nations Store in NYC. Japan’s “#1 Collectibles Brand in the Heart of Times Square is having its special 45th anniversary of Gundam from March 1 to 17, offering collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to engage with Tamashii Nations and fragment design’s’ creative legacies.

At the heart of the collaboration, also known as GUNDAM45FRGMT, is a limited-edition Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite (GFFMC), a sought-after piece renowned for its meticulous detail and superior craftsmanship. More importantly, the launch is a celebration of Gundam’s enduring influence on Japanese pop culture and Fujiwara’s impact on global streetwear. Beyond the marquee collectibles, the store will also feature Gunpla model kits for hobbyists and Banpresto plushies of Zeon’s iconic Zaku mobile suit, ensuring there’s something for all types of fans. There’s also buzz that the special GUNDAM45FRGMT items by Fujiwara that were at the V.A. Harajuku drop might possibly be available in New York.

For those who have long appreciated Gundam’s cultural significance or Fujiwara’s distinctive design philosophy, this collaboration offers a rare chance to experience the best of both worlds—right in the heart of Times Square.

Given the hype surrounding this collaboration, early arrival is strongly advised—the event operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and demand is expected to be high.
