Anime merchandise and collaboration announcements

Overview

In late August 2026, several major merchandise announcements were made regarding popular anime series in Japan.

Initial updates included a 20th-anniversary lottery series for ‘Gintama’ by Bandai Spirits, featuring various character figures. Simultaneously, Good Smile Company announced a collaboration with the artist group CLAMP to celebrate multiple anniversaries, including the 30th anniversary of ‘Cardcaptor Sakura’, which featured the reveal of a new Sakura Kinomoto scale figure.

Following these announcements, health technology company Tanita revealed a specific collaboration with ‘Cardcaptor Sakura’. This product line includes Bluetooth-enabled body composition scales, voice timers, and digital cooking scales featuring voice recordings from the protagonist, Sakura Kinomoto. The collection is themed after the ‘Clear Card’ and ‘Clow Card’ arcs. Reservations for these lifestyle products and themed bento boxes at Tanita Shokudo Honten began in late August 2026.
