【ガンダムマスク修正版】
修正ポイント
○マスクらしく鼻と口を覆う部分のみに小型化
○ゴム紐を白に変更
○形状をよりガンダムっぽく#マスク　#ガンダム pic.twitter.com/YJnK6BhGJt

(Rough translation: [Gundam mask modified version]
Correction points:
○ Miniaturized only the part that covers the nose and mouth like a mask
○ Change the rubber strap to white
○ Shape more Gundam-like
