Or be a rebel & get the Zaku II or Gouf shield umbrella

The Gundam.info portal site revealed a new set of Gundam-themed umbrellas released on Premium Bandai last Friday. The umbrellas are based on the shields of the RX-78-2 Gundam, MS-06 Zaku II, MS-06 Zaku II Char Custom, and MS-07 Gouf mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam, and the beam shield of the ZGMF/A-262B Strike Freedom Gundam Type II from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed FREEDOM. The Gundam shield umbrellas are 6,930 yen (about US$48.30) and are 92 centimeters wide and 126 centimeters long (about 36 x 50 inches) each.
