The Kirby merchandise line is expanding with several new releases, including desk accessory figures, light-up gashapon, and a pre-order for soft vinyl figures. These products are scheduled for release or shipping across the latter half of 2026.

A box of twelve costs 4,752 yen and ships in December 2026.
In August, Bandai released a new gashapon line called Kirby Light Mascot, starting in the fifth week of July. The four figures, each about 5cm tall, feature an on/off switch and replaceable batteries, priced at 500 yen per play. The lineup includes a running Kirby, Kirby on a Warp Star, Waddle Dee, and Waddle Doo.
Later in August, Re-Ment launched the Kirby Adventure on Desk set on August 24, shifting the franchise toward functional desk accessories. The six figures, themed around adventure and including Kirby, Waddle Dee, Sleep, Meta Knight, Kirby's Gourmet Fest, and Warp Star, double as pen holders and small item holders, priced at 1,320 yen each. These releases show a steady pipeline of Kirby merchandise across different price points and use cases.
