The Bandai Premium website began accepting pre-orders for Char Aznable's Zaku-Head Tape Cutter on Friday. The tape dispenser recreates the head of Char's custom MS-06S Zaku II mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam.
The tape dispenser is about 27 centimeters (about 11 inches) tall. Regular large rolls of tap fit inside the Zaku head, and when not in use, the head can close to conceal the tape.
The tape dispenser costs 8,424 yen (about US$77), and orders placed through Premium Bandai will begin shipping in August.
Char's custom mobile suit also debuted as a full-body figure in a black variant in March.
