Super Kaguya-hime goods launch at Avail on October 24
Avail will sell acrylic keychains and mini stands based on Super Kaguya-hime at selected shops and online from noon Japan time on October 24.
The anime film Super Kaguya-hime (超かぐや姫！) is getting a small merchandise drop at Japanese retailer Avail on October 24, with acrylic keychains and mini stands featuring characters from the film. The products will be available at selected shops, followed by an online-store release from noon Japan time. 1
The announcement covers designs featuring Iroha, Kaguya, Yachiyo and members of Black Onyx. Avail says one of its Matsumori shops is excluded from the launch, so fans should check the retailer's official announcement before travelling to a store. 1
What is being released
The range is built around two straightforward formats: acrylic keychains and small acrylic stands. They are aimed at fans who want a compact display piece rather than a large-scale collectible, with the character line-up tying the goods directly to the film's virtual-world cast. AnimeAnime.jp's report identifies Iroha, Kaguya, Yachiyo and the Black Onyx members among the designs shown in the announcement. 2
Avail's shop release is scheduled for October 24, while the online shop is due to open at 12pm Japan time on the same day. The retailer's post is the useful source for the final shop list, stock position and any purchase limits, since those details can change independently of the headline release date. 1
The film behind the merchandise
Super Kaguya-hime, also known in English as Cosmic Princess Kaguya, is the feature-length anime directed by Shingo Yamashita and produced by Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato. Its story follows Iroha, a busy student who encounters Kaguya and becomes involved with the virtual space Tsukuyomi, where the pair begin streaming activities alongside the popular virtual performer Yachiyo. 3
The film's official trailer describes a music-led take on the Kaguya-hime story, with songs supplied by creators including ryo, kz, 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra and yuigot. That makes the Avail range more than a generic tie-in: it is drawing on the film's named characters and its virtual-performance setting. 3
Our opinion
This is a modest but sensible merchandise release for a film whose appeal is closely tied to its character designs. Acrylic keychains and mini stands are easy to display, and the focus on multiple cast members gives fans a reason to look beyond a single protagonist. The important caveat is availability: the shop release is limited to selected Avail locations, the online launch has a specific Japan-time opening, and one Matsumori location is excluded. Treat the official Avail post as the final word on where and when to buy rather than assuming every branch will carry the range. 1
