Nintama Rantaro Trip or Sweet goods arrive ahead of Halloween
A Halloween-themed Trip or Sweet collection brings Nintama Rantaro characters to new AMNIBUS trading goods, posters and acrylic stands.
Nintama Rantaro (忍たま乱太郎) is getting a Halloween makeover, with a new “Trip or Sweet” range of character goods now available to pre-order through AMNIBUS. The collection uses freshly drawn artwork featuring the anime’s young ninja students and teachers, with products ranging from trading acrylic cards and stickers to badges, bromides, illustration cards, posters and acrylic stands. 12
What is in the Trip or Sweet range
The artwork puts Rantaro, Kirimaru and Shinbei alongside Doi-sensei and several of the wider cast in Halloween-themed outfits and scenes. The official AMNIBUS listing confirms that the range is being sold as multiple separate products, including a trading acrylic card set, clear die-cut stickers, can badges, bromides, illustration cards and character-specific BIG acrylic stands. 2
AMNIBUS is also listing A3 matte-finish posters and additional 100mm and trading die-cut stickers. The retailer’s page shows the products as available for reservation, with individual listings for the characters and designs rather than one single boxed release. 2
The timing is deliberate: the Trip or Sweet artwork leans into pumpkins, sweets and costumes, making it a seasonal merchandise push rather than a new story announcement. The range is tied to the long-running Nintama Rantaro television anime, which began airing in 1993 after the original manga started in 1986. 1
Where to find the goods
The collection is being sold through AMNIBUS, the anime and manga merchandise retailer linked from the original report. Availability and product details can vary by item, so fans interested in a particular character or format should check the individual listing rather than assume every product has the same reservation window. 12
Our opinion
This is a neatly targeted seasonal release: the Halloween artwork gives a familiar Nintama Rantaro cast a clear visual hook, while the spread of affordable trading items and larger character displays gives collectors several ways into the range. It is merchandise news rather than a major anime production update, but the official retailer listing makes the announcement concrete and easy to follow.
