Bandai Namco will add a new Katamari Damacy toy to its crane games in Japan starting on April 24, 2025. You can get a giant doll of the titular Katamari, along with a little Prince pushing it attached to the side.
The total size of the Katamari crane game toy is around 27 centimeters. Nothing is sticking to it, as if the Prince just started a level, and there’s a rainbow pattern on it that makes it look like the package of the game. This toy is part of the Mechamofugutto line of plushes from Banpresto. Dolls from it include the Haro from Gundam GQuuuuuuX and a Pikachu from PokePeace. They’re large, soft plushes that just entice you to hug them.
Here’s a closer look at the item:
Katamari first came out in 2004 with Katamari Damacy. They’re puzzle-action games in which you control The Prince, who helps his father, the King of All Cosmos, re-create the stars and planets by rolling up objects using the Katamari ball. You must get the ball to a certain size within a timeframe, and other puzzles might introduce limits or rules, such as avoiding specific objects.
The Katamari toy will appear in Bandai Namco’s Bandai Spirits crane game machines around Japan from April 24, 2025. Katamari Damacy Rolling Live, the latest entry in the long-running series, is an Apple Arcade exclusive, and it came out on April 3, 2025.
