KFC reveals Gundam fried chicken bucket in wild anime collab

by

KFC has collaborated with Gundam Wing to create an extraordinary collaboration, introducing a unique anime-inspired chicken bucket, adorned with a miniature Gundam robot standing tall atop it.

The collaboration is dedicated to the renowned Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, an anime series from 1995 that significantly boosted the global recognition of the Gundam franchise. Recognized for its gripping political narrative, exhilarating space combat scenes, and captivating characters, Gundam Wing continues to be a beloved choice among fans for almost thirty years.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that this captivating saga chronicles my journey alongside five teenage comrades, all commanding our uniquely designed mecha, engaged in an epic battle waged by Earth against its orbiting colonies.

On the 3rd of July, KFC Hong Kong introduced a limited-time offer. When diners purchase one of the two discounted combo meals (approximately $18 USD), they receive two free random stickers featuring characters from Gundam Wing and their mobile suits as a bonus. These combos are designed to serve two people, offering double portions of fried chicken, sandwiches, side dishes, and drinks, which is a hint for group orders.

Gundam Wing x KFC collab comes with sweet merch

What truly sets this collaboration apart is the unique merchandise offerings, particularly the KFC Gundam fried chicken bucket. This special bucket showcases a meticulously designed Gundam figure mounted on top, serving as a trophy-like display. However, it’s important to note that this bucket isn’t included for free in the purchase. It can only be acquired by spending at least HKD$49 (approximately $6 USD) on food or drinks and additionally paying extra for these collectible items.

Alongside other offerings in the Gundam x KFC collection are character standees made from acrylic, custom lanyards, coffee mugs, and even a wireless charging pad with a theme inspired by both brands.

As a passionate gamer immersed in the realm of anime, I’ve been swept away by the buzz surrounding this campaign that’s taking the digital anime communities by storm. However, there’s still no whispers about whether this collaboration is destined for gaming arenas outside its current territories.

Besides KFC, another notable collaboration this year is between Gundam Wing and Overwatch 2 in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary, offering exclusive character skins.
