Today’s picks span three beloved franchises — One Piece, Pokemon, and Kirby — across four very different formats: a capsule figure, a metal charm, a vintage sticker, and a novelty candy tin. Each one represents a corner of Japanese character merchandise that goes well beyond the expected. Together they offer a snapshot of how Japan has packaged its most recognizable characters over the years.

Dracule Mihawk — One Piece Wanpino-mi Vol.18 Bandai Capsule Figure

This is a capsule figure of Dracule Mihawk from Bandai’s Wanpino-mi Vol.18 series for One Piece. One Piece has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997 and has become one of the best-selling manga series ever published in Japan.

Swablu — Pokemon Center National Pokedex Metal Charm

This metal charm features Swablu from the Pokemon Center’s National Pokedex series, which assigned a charm to each Pokemon by its official Pokedex number. The Pokemon Center is Nintendo’s official retail brand in Japan, producing merchandise exclusive to its stores and website.

Golem — Pokemon Sticker No.279 by Amada, 1997

This is a Pokemon sticker numbered 279 from Amada’s 1997 series, featuring Golem — the final evolution of Geodude. Amada was a Japanese manufacturer that produced stickers and trading cards during the original Pokemon boom of the late 1990s, when the franchise first swept through Japan.

Kirby — Pisces Star Constellation Ramune Candy Slide Tin

This is a slide-lid tin in a Pisces star constellation design, originally sold containing Ramune candy, featuring Kirby from Nintendo’s long-running platformer series. Kirby first appeared in 1992 in a game developed by HAL Laboratory, and the character has since been a fixture of Japanese merchandise across many themed series.

About This Collection

These four items reflect how Japanese character merchandise spans far beyond the obvious — capsule figures, metal charms, decades-old stickers, and themed tins all carry the same beloved characters in entirely different forms. One Piece, Pokemon, and Kirby each have long histories of merchandise production in Japan, covering everything from vending machine toys to novelty packaging. Pieces like these are part of what makes the Japanese collectibles market so varied and worth exploring.
