The 10-pack set is priced at ¥1,810 (tax included) and is available as a BOX purchase through Premium Bandai. Note that this product is NOT a Premium Bandai exclusive — it will also see a general retail release!
26 Sticker Designs — The Collecting Game Is REAL 🏅
This is where things get seriously hype. The lineup boasts a whopping 26 unique sticker designs, and they’re not just your standard flat prints. These stickers come in a matte, dimensional finish that genuinely pops. Design themes include:
- 🥇 Medal designs
- 📮 Stamp designs
- 📜 Certificate/Award designs
- And more variety across the full 26-type lineup
Every design features Sanrio characters in full “rooting for you” mode — the kind of wholesome energy we all desperately need in our lives. Whether it’s Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, My Melody, or Pochacco hyping you up, these stickers are desk decoration goals and planner inserts waiting to happen.
Why You NEED This as a Collector 🔥
Let’s be real — Bandai food toys (shokugan) have an insane track record of selling out fast, especially collab sets with major IP like Sanrio. The 26-variant lineup means completionists are going to go absolutely feral trying to collect them all. And since Bandai explicitly notes that not all 26 types are guaranteed to be in every box, the randomized element adds that extra layer of chase factor.
