Bandai's official online shop, Premium Bandai, is taking preorders for two Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM cup and saucer sets made with Noritake, one themed on Kira Yamato and one on Cagalli Yula Athha, according to an Anime Anime report. Each set costs ¥11,000 including tax. Preorders close at 11 p.m. JST on February 28, 2027, and shipping is planned for March 2027.

The report describes Noritake as a high-end ceramics maker. Each design is based on the character's signature color and adds emblems, marks and motifs that represent the character, along with gold lines.

Each set includes one bone china teacup and one saucer, produced in Sri Lanka. The cup measures about 133 x 108 x 60 mm, and the saucer about 151 x 151 x 21 mm. The sets are intended for ages 15 and up.

According to the listing notes, the gold decoration may show fine lines because it is polished with soft paper to make it shine. Sales may end early once the prepared quantity is reached, the published photos show the product in development and may differ slightly from the final item, and the sets may also be sold in stores, at events or overseas.
