PAPABUBBLE to release ‘Panda! Ko Panda’ collaboration candy

PAPABUBBLE is launching its first collaboration candy featuring characters from the classic 1972 animation ‘Panda! Ko Panda’, directed by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. The ‘Panda! Ko Panda/Candy Mix’ will be available starting October 1.

The product features the expressions of characters such as Papanda and Pan-chan, captured within approximately 1cm candy cross-sections. The mix includes five flavors: cola, pineapple, apricot, muscat, and apple.

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the animation, the product—previously exclusive to the Nagoya PARCO store—will expand its availability to the Daimaru Tokyo store and the official PAPABUBBLE online store.
