Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I believe very strongly in the Japanese saying ‘dumplings over flowers’ – that it is better to have something practical like food rather than something pretty like flowers.
However Spring is finally here, which means we will soon get to enjoy both – eat delicious things like sakura-mochi while also getting to see beautiful sakura blossoms!
Anyway, as I’m sure everyone knows by now, yesterday was the long-awaited announcement of Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika
You can find my review article about him over here:
⇒ Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika
Together with the Nendoroid, we also had some Touken Ranbu goods from Hobby Stock and Gift go up on the site over the past two days! Today I’m going to be taking a look at those goods! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
☆ Gift ☆

Be sure to collect them all! |
These will be on sale from the 5th April at the animate Ikebukuro Store! They will be available at other animate stores by late April as well!
Note that they are also trading-type badges, which means you won’t know who you will get until you’ve purchased the capsule!♪
The character I chose as my first sword is none other than… Kasen Kanesada!
△ The badges are approximately 56x50mm in size!

The second set will also be sold at the same time and same stores as the first! Each and every one of the hear-shaped badges also features the family crest for a cute yet stylish design! ♡
