Today’s picks span two decades of Japanese pop-culture merchandise, from a vintage Pepsi bottle cap figure tied to a beloved Nintendo franchise to lottery-exclusive One Piece goods still making their way out of Japan. Each piece represents a different corner of the country’s collector merchandise market.
Luigi Tanooki Suit — Super Mario Bros. Pepsi Dot Bottle Cap Figure No. 18
This is figure No. 18 in the Pepsi Dot bottle cap series, depicting Luigi wearing the Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3. The Pepsi Dot campaign ran in Japan during the early 2000s and produced dozens of miniature figures packaged with Pepsi products, making individual numbers collectible on their own.

All Might — My Hero Academia Gacha Rubber Strap Mascot Charm
This is a rubber strap charm featuring All Might, numbered 02 in its gacha series, from the anime and manga franchise My Hero Academia. Gacha machines — capsule toy vending machines found throughout Japan — distribute these small charms randomly, which is why individual characters from a set are sought out separately by collectors. My Hero Academia, known in Japan as Boku no Hero Academia, has been one of the country’s most popular ongoing manga series since its debut in 2014.

Luffy — One Piece Ichiban Kuji Egghead Arc Acrylic Stand
This acrylic stand features Luffy from the Egghead arc of One Piece and comes from the Ichiban Kuji lottery line, specifically the “YAKARA” G-prize tier. Ichiban Kuji is a prize lottery system sold at convenience stores and hobby shops across Japan, where customers draw tickets for the chance to win tiered prizes — individual pieces like this one are traded among fans who want a specific character without entering the lottery themselves.

One Piece Ichiban Kuji Clear File and Sticker Set
This set includes a clear file and stickers from the One Piece Ichiban Kuji line, the kind of flat merchandise typically distributed as lower-tier prizes in the lottery. One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda and serialized since 1997, is the best-selling manga series in Japan’s publishing history, and its lottery merchandise is produced in regular waves tied to current story arcs.

About This Collection
These four pieces illustrate how Japanese pop-culture merchandise reaches collectors through very different channels — corporate beverage promotions, capsule toy machines, and in-store lotteries — each with its own logic for what gets produced and how it circulates. Whether you follow one franchise closely or collect across genres, these formats are a good window into how Japan’s merchandise culture actually works.
