In merch land, we are seeing more and more GBP items! There is an event ongoing until the end of the month right now with BanG Dream! Featuring Girl's Band Party. Merchandise on sale features the Poppin'Party art accompanying the Kasumi birthday illustrations as a wallscroll, buttons, acrylic keychains, fans and clearfiles. There's also an additional metal keychain set available.
For the others, they have band stickers for every girl, clear files and lanyards of each band! They also have a smart phone case for purchase, featuring the logo and icons from the game.
Bandori Updates also let us know about Comiket92 goods that will be available from Poppin'Party and the other GBP bands. There will be a Tote, pouch, and keychain available featuring the game's main image, a Roselia Polo, and band phone cases, as well as some edgy wallet keychains and clearfiles. Everything here but the clearfiles will be sold online 3-17 August following Comiket!
Our last bit of merchandise news are trendy hairpin and bracelet combos. They are available for 5900¥ from Kanzashi OEM, I personally think they are super cute and different from most merchandise I see released~
