Laputa: Castle in the Sky Playing Card – King of Diamonds, Animage 1986 Summer Japan Exclusive
This is a King of Diamonds playing card from a Laputa: Castle in the Sky set published by Animage as a Japan-exclusive item in the summer of 1986. It predates the founding of Studio Ghibli as a standalone studio, placing it among the earliest collectibles tied to what would become one of anime's most beloved films. Animage magazine was instrumental in building fan culture around Japanese animation during the 1980s, and promotional items like this were distributed exclusively through domestic channels, making them rare outside Japan.
