Charmer merchandise!

So I found this link surfing the web today, but I can't read it because it is in Japanese.

http://www.toranoana.jp/shop/gallery/detail/2013/8/44372/index.html

The pictures are what got my attention though. From what it looks like, it shows Aussa and Eria on what appear to be card sleeves. Now, if these are indeed card sleeves, then I want to get them so bad lol!

But then I noticed the date of the article. It is August 2013, which was not that long ago. Does this mean new Charmer merchandise is being created, even now? What do you guys think about this?

I think that's common in Japan that fanarts can be released as card sleeve, not only for Charmers, but something like other characters from other anime as well.

I also have seen some fanbook (like doujins) featuring Charmers like this: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=14460810

And this is the site that promoted it: http://meipotei.hanamizake.com/off.html
There's doujin sample page too in that page.

It's not surprising for me since fanworks like this is common in japan, and considering Charmers are popular among japanese YGO players (proof that Pixiv has bunch of their fanarts and even a bunch of their videos in Niconico), there might be more of Charmers merchandises in Japan that we don't know yet.

It would be surprising though if something like this happened outside Japan. Say, America.

Yeah, Toanoana is (for the most part) a doujin site, so it's all likely fanmade goods.

That being said though, if you really want them and are willing to shell out the extra money (will need to pay to ship both to the buyer and later international shipment, in addition to any service fees and such) you can always send an email to http://yokattaweb.jp/index.html with direct links to the product(s) you want to purchase.

Though keep in mind Toranoana being a doujin site, also deals in ero goods. So upon entering the store (maybe even not the store, idk I just always go straight to the shop itself when I'm browsing) you should get a page asking if you're 18 or older, with the 2 options being はい (yes) on the left and いいえ (no) on the right.


Also, if for whatever reason you (or anyone else) decides to do this, for a bit of advice, always buy in bulk. It'll likely cost a substantial amount of money (expect at minimum ¥20000 total product cost+shipping fees+service fees+anything else for good results) but the price per item ratio for shipping and whatnot should be substantially cheaper.

Lastly use EMS. Always use EMS. The safety it has with tracking and insurance already added to it far more than justifies the increased cost.

Aww, so it's fanmade stuff? I actually thought Konami had found this forum or something and listened to our pleas lol

Also, thanks for the tips mc. Good to know you've seen this site before.
