Prize (crane game) merchandise based on the anime Pandorobo will begin rolling out at amusement facilities across Japan in stages from late October 2026. The lineup is produced by FuRyu Corporation (headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo) and marks the anime's first appearance in FuRyu Prize.
The anime is based on the popular picture book series Pandorobo, which has sold more than 6.2 million copies in total, and has been on air since October 2026. In all, six items will be released from October through November, including plush toys, mascots, ballpoint pens, a blanket, and puppets, all showcasing Pandorobo's surreal yet endearing expressions. Some items recreate the work's memorable expressions and gestures.
A social media campaign offering a FuRyu Prize set to lottery winners is also scheduled from late October (details below). FuRyu plans to release more items that capture the world of the anime Pandorobo in the future.
October Releases (3 Items)
Anime Pandorobo Super BIG Plush (1 Type)
This plush recreates Pandorobo at a substantial size of approximately 29 cm. The character's distinctively wry expression and the rounded form wrapped in bread are carefully recreated. Its huggable volume makes it a striking display piece for a room.
Anime Pandorobo Ballpoint Pen with Mascot (3 Types)
The ballpoint pens come in three types: pink, orange, and yellow. A small plush mascot sits on each pen, adding a touch of comfort to desk work or study time. Each type features a different expression and gesture.
Anime Pandorobo Big Blanket (1 Type)
This big blanket measures approximately 145 × 205 cm and features the main visual in a large design. It shows Pandorobo surrounded by cute bread motifs, and is a practical pick for the chilly season while also reflecting the world of the work.
November Releases (3 Items)
Anime Pandorobo Plush Puppet (2 Types)
The puppet is available in two designs, each recreating a different expression. Pandorobo's impactful expressions are rendered in soft plush material. It is designed so that a hand can go inside to make it move, so it can be played with as well as displayed.
Anime Pandorobo Mascot (3 Types)
The mascots come in three types, each putting a familiar expression into a compact size with its own appeal. An elastic cord is attached, making it easy to attach to a bag or pouch and take Pandorobo along wherever you go.
Anime Pandorobo Plush Small Item Case (3 Types)
In this design, Pandorobo holds a canister labeled "salt," "sugar," or "butter." The rounded form and indescribable expression are part of the charm, and the case doubles as a practical way to store small items.
Across October and November, the lineup brings the playful world of the anime Pandorobo closer to everyday life.
