Snackgirls react
Kirari: Those elegant outfits against the gear framing really catch my eye. I’d want an acrylic stand so I could keep admiring the costume details up close.
Nea: I’m rather drawn to the pocket-watch motif. I’d like to keep the keyholder and a ticket-style card together as a little themed corner of my collection.
Thirteen idols dressed for a steampunk setting
The original illustrations show all 13 idols in detailed, elegant retro outfits. Acrylic stands featuring the artwork cost ¥2,500 each, including tax.
The selection also includes brooch-style trading badges, collection cards, acrylic straps, acrylic panels and a scarf.
A pocket-watch motif joins the plush lineup
The pocket-watch-style keyholder costs ¥6,800, while plush toys are ¥3,600 each, both including tax. The keyholder brings the collection’s retro theme into an accessory of its own.
Mini-character PU leather straps, a PU card case, a long-sleeved T-shirt and framed CharaFine Graph artwork round out the 12 merchandise categories.
Ticket-card bonuses depend on where you buy
At Japanese pop-ups, every ¥3,000 spent, including tax, earns one ticket-style card. The 13 designs are distributed at random while supplies last, so you cannot choose which one you receive.
ASOBI STORE includes the bonus only with certain eligible products. The Japanese pop-ups’ spending threshold does not apply to those online orders.
From November orders to December pop-ups
Online advance orders are scheduled to begin November 10, 2026, through ASOBI STORE and other retailers. The general release is planned for March 26, 2027, though release and delivery dates may change.
Early pop-up sales run December 24, 2026–January 11, 2027, at the Idolmaster Official Shops in Sendai, atré Akihabara, Nagoya Ekimae, Osaka Nippombashi and Hakata Bus Terminal; 315!!!SHOP is excluded. Shanghai’s New World City 4F venue opens on the same date but finishes earlier, on January 3, 2027.
At Japanese pop-ups, the usual limit is three of each product per transaction, with size variants counted together. Trading goods allow up to three boxes, while framed CharaFine Graph artwork is limited to one per transaction.
Queues or web/app entry restrictions may be introduced during the run. Check the Idolmaster Official Shop’s official X account before visiting.
