Takara Tomy Arts has a new Pokémon accessory line headed to stores on May 25: “Poké-Charm Color Mascot,” a candy-toy release built around acrylic charms with silicone rings sized for bags and other personal items. The company’s product page says the line includes 10 designs and packages each charm with five red-and-white ball candies. (takaratomy-arts.co.jp) The product is being sold as a blind assortment, meaning buyers do not choose the character before opening. Takara Tomy Arts lists the lineup as Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Slowpoke, Gengar, Ditto, Dragonite and Mew, with Mew described as a special glitter-clear acrylic version. (takaratomy-arts.co.jp) The design pitch is straightforward: clear acrylic character pieces, a Poké Ball-shaped charm, and a silicone ring, with each set colored to match the featured Pokémon’s type image, according to the company description. Nintendo Dream, which reported the launch details in April, said the item is meant to be worn or attached when going out, reinforcing its use as both collectible merchandise and a bag accessory. (takaratomy-arts.co.jp) The release sits in Takara Tomy Arts’ broader Pokémon charm and marker-accessory business. The company has recently sold other ring-equipped Pokémon items, including a 30th-anniversary metal charm mascot line released in March, also positioned as an attachment for personal belongings. (takaratomy-arts.co.jp) For collectors, the main practical details are price and format. Nintendo Dream listed the suggested retail price at 396 yen including tax, with one charm and five apple-flavored candies per pack, for ages 3 and up. Retail listings have also shown the item as a boxed candy-toy product ahead of launch. (ndw.jp) So the clearest takeaway is not just that Takara Tomy Arts teased another Pokémon good, but that this one is already slotted into a near-term retail rollout. The official product page lists the release timing as May 2026, and Nintendo Dream specifies May 25, 2026, with the 10-character blind lineup now public. (takaratomy-arts.co.jp)
