Bandai Namco Amusement is running two licensed retail pushes: a five-city US hololive English -Justice- pop-up tour that opened in September 2026, and a September 2026 resolicitation of two JoJo's Bizarre Adventure gashapon sets through its amusement retail arm.
Bandai Namco Amusement's recent activity is retail. In August 2026, its American arm announced the POP-UP STORE -City Groove with hololive English -Justice-, a limited-time event starting in September 2026 that visits five US cities through March 2027. Each stop carries merchandise made for the tour, a mini game, and photo opportunities, with city-pop inspired artwork drawn for the event.
Two weeks later, the company moved on the gashapon side. It is reselling two sets of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Capsule Figure Collection figures tied to artwork from JOJO WORLD 2 and JOJO WORLD 3. Each set holds six types at 700 yen per play, scheduled for the third week of September 2026. The JOJO WORLD EDITION matches the November 2022 release and the JOJO WORLD 3 EDITION matches the April 2025 release, and both are sold at Bandai Namco Amusement.
Taken together, the two stories show the same pattern: the company keeps existing licensed material in circulation rather than starting new lines. One project extends a hololive property into US retail for the first time; the other reprints JoJo figures whose molds and artwork already exist. Coverage does not address sales, production volume, or any other project from the company, and no story gives a figure for how either effort is performing.
