Re-Ment announced it will sell a line of Evangelion blind box figures again, as the Desktop Eva figures that debuted in March 2024 will return in June 2025. So far, one of the first retailers to be selling the items again is AmiAmi, which features a six-box full set for ￥5,620 (~$39). 

As is common with the Re-Ment Desktop line of figures, each one of the items features a character from Evangelion, such as Eva Test Type-01, in a pose that also allows it to hold basic office supplies. So the Eva Test Type-01 model is designed to have sticky notes attached to it. The Eva Production Model-02 can be used to hold a cord like for a USB cable or phone. Shinji Ikari is posed in a cockpit, and a pen can be stuck in the back where the plug would be. You can put business cards between Rei Ayanami and the railing behind her. The Asuka Langley Shikinami accent behind her can hold a Japanese name stamp. Finally, the figure of Gendo Ikari at his station can hold a cell phone behind him.

Here’s how the full set looks:

The Evangelion Desktop Eva Re-Ment figures will return in June 2025 in Japan, and we’ll start seeing them in other regions after that. The anime is on Netflix, while the Rebuild of Evangelion films are on Amazon. New XR games are in development.

Re-Ment announced the Pokemon Romantic Collection, which will be a new set of goods resembling accessories cases. They’ll come out on February 24, 2025, and the items in the set will be available in blind boxes. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

There will be six variations in total. You’ll be able to get Jigglypuff, Sylveon, Sprigatito, Galarian Ponyta, Alolan Vulpix, or Primarina. As mentioned earlier, these items resemble accessory cases that belong to the Pokemon in question. For example, the Primarina’s box looks like a shell, and it’s full of pearls. Meanwhile, the Sprigatito’s case looks like a terrarium and it’s full of flowers.

Each blind box costs 1265 JPY, or $8.30. You won’t know which one you’ll get when you purchase the box. However, it’s possible to purchase a full collection if you want them all. Re-Ment items are usually available at hobby shops and anime stores in Japan. Whether they appear in other countries depend on the store, or you can use a proxy service.

Re-Ment has released little Pokemon items in the past. Goods from this store usually look like little displays or screenshots from the Pokemon world. Examples include aqua bottles (focusing on Water Types), bonsai trees, and terrariums. Like the Romantic Collection, these items are in blind boxes, but are also available as a full collection.

The Pokemon Romantic Collection from Re-Ment will come out on February 24, 2025.

The Yu-Gi-Oh Desktop Collection, a new set of collectible figures based on the anime series, is on its way. The figure set features Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey, all alongside their signature monsters, and it will be releasing in November 2024. AmiAmi is offering pre-orders outside of Japan.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Desktop Collection features six figures designed by Re-Ment, each with different purposes. It is currently available for pre-order on AmiAmi for ¥5,620, which is approximately $36.73. All six figures will be included in the order if purchased together.

You can take a look at the promotional images for the six figurines here:

The Yami Yugi figure features Yugi sitting on top of the gold sarcophagus that held the Millennium Puzzle. The sarcophogus can be used as a case to hold small items. Kaiba is seated on a Kaiba Corp Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed chair that can be used to hold sticky notes. The Joey figurine features him alongside the Scapegoats, in a figurine that can be used as a smartphone stand. The Dark Magician figurine s memo pads. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon figure can be used as a pen stand. Finally, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon can be used as a stamp stand as well.

A larger Yu-Gi-Oh figure is also in the works. One based on the card: I:P Masquerena is being developed. In addition, a collection of all the classic Yu-Gi-Oh Game Boy games will be heading to Switch and PC as the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection in February 2025.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Desktop Collection figure set is available for pre-order now for $36.73 on AmiAmi. The figures will be released in November 2024.

Re-Ment’s Cinnamoroll Happy Days terrarium collection is now open for pre-order via sites like Amazon and Rakuten. The entire box set costs 7920 JPY ($53.05) and will come out on November 25, 2024. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]

All of the terrariums feature Cinnamoroll hanging out, having fun, and enjoying life. The variations are: Cafe, Rainbow, Dappled Sunlight, Rain, Onsen, and Night Sky. These names give a pretty accurate description of the scene in question. For example, the Dappled Sunlight terrarium shows Cinnamoroll napping with Cappuccino under a tree. Meanwhile, the Rain terrarium shows Cinnamoroll and Mocha using an umbrella as a makeshift toy boat while it’s raining around them.

It’s not surprising for Cinnamoroll to star in a series of merchandise all by himself. He has been an extremely popular Sanrio mascot these past few years. He’s won the popularity poll in 2024, marking the fifth year in a row that Cinnamoroll won. The results of the poll usually affect which characters appear in collaborations or on merchandise. Considering Cinnamoroll’s insane popularity, you can expect to see him in a lot more collectibles in the future.

The Cinnamoroll Happy Days terrarium collection will come out on November 25, 2024. The entire collection is available via Rakuten and Amazon.

Re-Ment shared for the first time images of its second Terrarium Collection of Pikmin figures. There will be six different variations in total that you could get from the blind boxes, with each box costing you 1,430 JPY ($9.10).

Here's the official announcement, which showed us the lineup of new sets.

The six miniature terrariums show the Pikmins in various stages of their daily life. Some of them are exploring around their area. Others are fighting off enemies. There’s one that also features Oatchi, who first appeared in Pikmin 4 as a partner for the Rescue Corps and the Pikmin. Of these models, only the fourth one is capable of glowing in the dark. This one depicts the Pikmin on a night expedition.

The Pikmin games started in 2001. It’s a series of puzzle and RTS games that rely on you guiding and leading Pikmin around a planet, using them to explore or clear obstacles or fight off hostile creatures. Due to their small size and simple design, they’re a popular mascot in various Nintendo products such as ties and goods. For example, this is not the first time that Re-Ment has released terrariums depicting the Pikmin.

The Pikmin terrariums will come out some time in Winter 2024. Pikmin 4, the latest title in the series, is readily available on the Nintendo Switch.

Re-Ment revealed a new set of Evangelion merchandise featuring five characters from the main cast catching some well deserved rest. The items are available to order in packs of 5 blind boxes from AmiAmi with shipping expected in late June 2024.

Available in packs of five, each box contains one figure of Shinji, Kaworu, Asuka, Rei or Mari sealed within an egg-like pot. Each egg is also designed to look like the character's plugsuit. For example, Asuka's is red and orange, while Mari's is pink and blue. Each five pack will cost ¥6,325 normally, but they are currently reduced to ¥4,490 (roughly $30) at AmiAmi, with a limit of 12 sets per shipping address.

You can get a look at the figures of Evangelion characters below:

Back in February, 2024, a PLAMAX model kit of the AAA Wunder battleship appeared at Good Smile Company's WonHobby 38 event. Meanwhile, Tower of Fantasy is also set to have an Evangelion crossover update starting on March 12, 2024.

The Evangelion Dreaming Pot 5pack merchandise box is available to pre-order from AmiAmi with shipping expected in late June, 2024. The Evangelion anime is available to watch on Netflix while the Rebuild movies are available via Amazon.

Re-Ment will release its second line of Pokemon Aqua Bottle merchandise, which cost 1320 JPY (around $8.85) each. In total, there are six variations that you can get. All of the items feature water Pokemon that are swimming inside glass containers of various shapes and sizes. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The different Pokemon in each bottle are:

• Horsea and Luvdisc
• Lapras
• Piplup
• Primarina
• Relicanth and Clamperl
• Seel and Spheal

The first line of Aqua Bottle Collection Pokemon figures came out in 2022. Pokemon featured in that line included Corsola, Milotic, Pikachu, Vaporeon, and Chinchou. This version also had more traditional bottles than the second collection.

Since they are being sold via Amazon, international customers should be able to purchase them as well. If you’re in Japan, you can also pick them up in retail locations such as toy stores, character goods shops, and dollar stores. It should be noted that these are blind boxes, which means that unless you buy a full box, you cannot guarantee that you’ll get what you want when you buy a Pokemon Aqua Bottle.

Re-Ment has released several other blind box type merchandise in the past, such as a collection of Vocaloid's standing in front of a PC screen. The Vocaloid figures will come out on December 4, 2023.

The second Aqua Bottle Collection line of Pokemon figures from Re-Ment is now available in stores in Japan.

Hatsune Miku and her Vocaloid friends are shown popping out of PC windows in a new set of figures by Re-Ment. The lineup of characters featured in this window figure collection of mini figures consists of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, Meiko, and Kaito. The figures will be available at the price of 1,430 yen ($9.69) each. The collection is scheduled to go on sale on December 4, 2023 in Japan. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

Promotional images of the new Hatsune Miku window figure collection were released on the Re-Ment official social media . The concept for this collection is to bring the Vocaloid characters from the virtual world to the real world. The figures can be purchased separately at random or as a complete box set.

Each Vocaloid window mini-figure comes with replaceable parts and backgrounds. Also, each one comes with a PC window background part that displays a wallpaper featuring their image. Furthermore, each of the six figures in the lineup feature details pertaining to a specific Vocaloid character. For example, Kaito is shown holding a fallen ice cream bar, which is his character item.

The Hatsune Miku window figure collection by Re-Ment will be released in Japan on December 4, 2023. A release outside of Japan has yet to be announced.

Re-Ment will release six Pokemon bonsai figures on August 7, 2021. They will cost 935 JPY each, which is approximately $8.55. The Pokemon Poketto BONSAI series is palm-sized figure that pairs Pokemon with miniature plants that match their aesthetic. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The seven Pokemon that are part of the Poketto BONSAI line of figures are:

• Pikachu
• Alolan Vulpix
• Ho-Oh
• Poliwag and Goldeen
• Mawile
• Lucario

Each Pokemon poses with a plant that suits their style or looks. For example, the Alolan Vulpix is standing next to a snow-covered holly tree. Meanwhile, the Lucario is training in a bamboo forest. Currently, there are no close-up pictures of the bonsai figures.

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="medium" ids="882354"]

This is not the first time that Re-Ment and Pokemon have collaborated on merchandise. Just earlier this year, they announced stained glass figures, terrariums, and a gemstone collection. Every series of figures feature Pokemon posing in a variety of environments, similar to the designs of the Poketto BONSAI line.

Like all of the previous products from Re-Ment, these palm-sized bonsai figures are surprise boxes. If you buy them individually, you will not be able to guarantee which one you get. However, if you buy a full box of six, you can collect them all. In addition, each box comes with a piece of gum.

Re-Ment’s Poketto BONSAI line of Pokemon figures will appear in stores on August 7, 2021. There is currently no news about whether these figures will appear outside of Japan.

Re-MENT will release a new series of Pokemon terrariums on June 26, 2021. This time, the theme focuses on the seasons. There will be six variations of the terrariums and they'll cost ¥800 (around $7) each. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

Like previous Pokemon terrariums from Re-MENT, these are surprise boxes, meaning you won’t know which terrarium you will get until you open it up. However, if you buy a full box of six, you can guarantee at least one of each kind. Each terrarium also comes with a piece of gum.

This is the line-up of terrariums:

1. A Whimsicott enjoying the breeze in a field (Spring)
2. A Pikachu surfing on the back of a Mantyke (Summer)
3. A Mimikyu and a Pumpkaboo standing around a jack-o’-lantern (Autumn)
4. An Emolga eating an apple while seated on a tree branch (Autumn)
5. A Glaceon in the middle of what looks like a snowy traditional Japanese garden (Winter)
6. A Fennekin sitting next to a tree that has started to bloom (Spring)

There is currently no individual close-up images of the terrariums, but a promotional picture was posted onto Re-MENT's Twitter.

Re-MENT and The Pokemon Company have a lengthy collaboration history. Not only do they make Pokemon-themed terrariums, but they will also release gemstone-themed Pokemon mini-dioramas in summer 2021. Additionally, they released stained glass Pokemon figures earlier this year.

The season-themed Pokemon terrariums will be released on June 26, 2021.

Japanese toy manufacturer Re-Ment will release a new line of figures called the Pokemon Gemstone Collection. Seven different Pokemon will be featured in a classy and cute aesthetic. Re-Ment will sell the figures mystery box style, though there are options to purchase the whole set via third-party sellers, as well. The new line of mini-dioramas is available to preorder now, with a scheduled release date of June 2021.

The Pokemon Gemstone Collection will feature six variants of mini-dioramas. In typical mystery box fashion, one variant will come in each box, with buyers unaware of which character is inside. The seven Pokemon in the lineup are Pikachu with Pichu, Flareon, Milotic, Misdreavus, Absol, and Celebi. Third-party vendor Hobby Link Japan has preorders open now for all six variants in one package. The seller lists the standard price at $50.32. However, at the time of this article, Hobby Link Japan has the set for $42.78. Check out the photos of each variant below.

Re-Ment is no stranger to partnering with The Pokemon Company. In addition to its Gemstone Collection, the toy-maker released a collection of stained glass Pokemon figures. In other merch news, the Pokemon Center brick-and-mortar stores and online shops will have new goods with a Sweet Scent theme.

The Re-Ment Pokemon Gemstone Collection contains six mini-dioramas and will release in June 2021.

Re-Ment has launched a new line of stained glass Pokémon figures as part of a blind box collection. Their release date, February 27, 2021, coincides with the 25^th anniversary of Game Freak’s Pokémon series.

There are six different figures to collect and each box will cost 990 yen, which is currently the equivalent of $9.29. The Pokémon available to collect are Pikachu, Mew, Lugia, Umbreon, Gardevoir, and Ho-Oh. Each figure stands in front of a transparent stained-glass background that is embedded in a frame that features the Pokémon’s name written across the top. They are expected to release in a variety of stores across Japan but there is no word yet regarding a worldwide release.

Re-Ment is known for a range of other Pokémon collectibles, as well. It released the blind box Pocket Botanical line of toys in June of 2020, and blind box Pokémon Terrariums for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Before that, the company had produced terrariums for other games in the Pokémon franchise. These releases were also originally limited to Japan.

The Pokémon Stained Glass collection is immediately available in Japan.

A remake of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl for the Nintendo Switch were announced as part of a Pokémon Presents event yesterday, on February 26, 2021.

The newest Re-Ment Pokemon toys are in, and this time its pulling from the newest installment. A new collection of Pokemon Terrariums is available in Japan, giving people a chance to get clear Poke Balls filled with Pokemon Sword and Shield characters. They are about 800円 (~$8) each and immediately available.

As is typical for Re-Ment projects, these are blind box toys. You don’t know which one of the terrariums you’ll get. (Though, buying a full box of six will guarantee you one of each figure.) Every one gives you a scene from Galar to assemble and a piece of gum.

Here’s the full list of possible Pokemon Terrarium toys you could get. As usual, Pikachu does appear in one of them.

• Grookey
• Eevee with Wooloo
• Galarian Ponyta
• Pikachu with Yamper
• Scorbunny
• Sobble

And here’s a full gallery showing all the characters off.

[gallery ids="856189,856190,856191,856192,856193,856194"]

These sorts of Pokemon scenes aren’t uncommon for Re-Ment. The terrarium line is a rather long running one, for example. The company also has had collections of toys involving Pokemon Pocket Botanicals and a selection of Pokemon Starrium figures that were more celestial in nature. (Though again, in each case there were definitely excuses to make sure Pikachu was in there.)

The Galarian Pokemon Terrariums are immediately available in Japan.
