Merry Christmas, little Beans
Today we received a Big Box from Japan. It contained 6 months or so of official Ace Attorney merchandise purchases, plus one doujin.
First there was the AA 456 Orchestral pin selection. Displayed here are all of the pins that I'm definitely or maybe keeping. There are 10 in total.
The next picture shows Apollo and Trucy can badges from the October 2024 Japanese Capcom Café (magicians), Phoenix and Miles wooden badges from the Capcom Pixel All-Stars Wood Badge collection (this link is super cute), and a tiny pin showing Apollo and Trucy throwing fish around.
Actually, it is a normal-sized pin, but it has such a detailed picture that it seems tiny. These pins were produced for a collaboration between Capcom and a rail company, and each one shows a location that you can get to by train. There are four Ace Attorney pins in total.
Size of pin compared to Bean.
Apollo and Trucy Trading-card style acrylic stands from the October 2024 Japanese Capcom Café. I haven't decided yet whether I'm keeping both can badges or both acrylic stands. I don't normally do acrylic stands because I entirely lack horizontal surfaces in my home (they're all covered in Stuff), but I really like the full illustrations.
Klavier acrylic keyring from FANTHFUL, same design as the metal pin that I already have, but I really love the 3D effect from the layered acrylic.
Also Klavier and Apollo bookmark/keyrings from the online Capcom Store on Parco. The bookmark part is embossed fake leather, the keyring is small enough to be of actual practical use! (In comparison to all the giant keyrings which are more for hanging off bags than having keys attached.)
Finally, this picture shows an A4-sized "clearfile" (plastic binder) with the design from the Japanese-only physical release of the AA456 Odoroki Selection, and a doujin by my favourite Klapollo author, glucose. This one seems to be sweet rather than sexy, featuring such scenes as Apollo buying ice cream for Klavier because he has a sore throat and fever.
The Beans are very happy with their Christmas merch haul :D
