Any of you readers interested in mainstream anime series like Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, or Spy x Family? Perhaps you might like collectibles based on those anime series? Or perhaps you just like high-quality toys and other collectibles? Well, you don’t have to worry about that. Crunchyroll and Jazwares have you all covered there. Or at least, they will once they have anything to sell.
Crunchyroll x Jazwares: Details
Crunchyroll is proud to announce its brand new partnership with leading global toy manufacturer Jazwares. Apparently, Jazwares plans to introduce anime collectibles based on 18 different anime series, although for now, we only have word on 5 of them for now. So what kind of anime collectibles Jazwares is planning to sell, you might ask? Well, here’s a statement from them that gives us a bit of insight into that below:
Jazwares continually provides a connective tissue between pop-culture, a passionate fandom and the creation of high-quality collectibles that are highly detailed sculpts and decos. As long-time enthusiasts of the anime phenomenon, we are proud and ready to collaborate with Crunchyroll to give fans incredible experiences with collectible figures, plush, and other surprise-and-delight moments across multiple retail channels globally.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any specific release date for any of these Jazwares x Crunchyroll anime merch. The closest we have is a vague release window of sometime in Summer 2024. That’s the best we got so far. Tune back in to THS later to find out a more precise release date from Crunchyroll or Jazwares when we hear about it.
