Bandai Namco Filmworks ran a pop-up store at Tokyo Anime Center in DNP PLAZA SHIBUYA from August 7 to August 23, 2026, selling goods with newly drawn band-themed illustrations and holding a Poppy-kun photo session on August 22. A BEAMS MANGART collaboration released on July 31, 2026, with four apparel items and one tote bag at select BEAMS stores and online.
