Hamtaro Ribbon Collection
Release Date: June 2025
Distributor: Daiso and Seria
A new collaboration has been announced and oh man does Japanese Twitter seem conflicted! A huge selection of new merch will appear at Daiso and Seria locations across Japan next month! These are 100 yen stores (think of a dollar store if your country has one) with usually pretty good quality items. Including tax, each item costs 110 yen, which if you did the math would come out to 11550 yen (or around 80 USD at the current rate). Everyone seemed happy with that price! Except.....it's sounds like most of the items are in blind boxes...and you can't buy a case to make sure you don't get duplicates....
With how much hamtaro merch we're getting I think we can all agree that we're facing blind bag fatigue, and Japanese Twitter is not happy about the fact they may need to spend more money to hopefully get the character they want.
The collab contains the following items: zipper pouches, contacts case, compact mirrors, clear files, stickers, washi tape, mini Drawstring bags, rubber key chains, enamel key chains, die cut stickers, acrylic stands, alligator clips (Hair clips? Bag clips?? Who knows), and cord holders. I am assuming anything with more than two variants will be in blind bags.
