Galaxy Express Milky Subway, a TV anime that aired from July to September 2025, has moved into a sustained merchandising push in August 2026. The series' official YouTube channel surpassed 290 million total views as of July 2026, and its popularity has carried into physical goods and brand collaborations.

On August 4, 2026, Medicos Entertainment opened reservations for a figure set recreating a specific moment from the final episode. The set depicts Chiharu and Makina sitting on a pile of gadgets, with Makina raising a V-sign and Chiharu leaning close. It includes detailed references: the police robot's monitor shows the pairs Akane and Kanata, and Kart and Max, plus the half-destroyed O.T.A.M., Poppy-kun, and the poster that blocked Exclude-kun's attack. The non-scale PVC and ABS figure stands about 180mm tall, is priced at 28,600 yen including tax on Amazon.co.jp, and is scheduled for release on June 30, 2027.

Two days later, Bandai Namco Filmworks announced a limited-time pop-up store at Tokyo Anime Center in DNP PLAZA SHIBUYA, running from August 7 to August 23, 2026. The event sells original goods with newly drawn band-themed illustrations, offers purchase bonuses, and includes a Poppy-kun photo session on August 22. On August 11, the first collaboration with BEAMS MANGART was announced, releasing four apparel items and one tote bag on July 31, 2026, featuring characters, motifs, dialogue, and setting details from the anime, available at select BEAMS stores and online.
