mofusand
mofusand is in a dense licensing and merchandise push through 2026, with an anime adaptation streaming on the QTORY YouTube channel since January 2026 and a schedule of gashapon, lotteries, apparel, and pop-up events. The newest announced item is the WOODLANDS goods line at the mofusand TOKYO Harajuku shop on October 23, 2026.

mofusand is drawn by illustrator Jyuno and has been adapted into an anime that streams on the QTORY YouTube channel and other platforms since January 2026, per the source that first reported the Uniqlo tie-in. That anime runs alongside a merchandise calendar that moves faster than any single retailer can carry: capsule toys, ichiban kuji lotteries, apparel, and limited shops arrive in overlapping waves.
Bandai's gashapon line is the steadiest thread. It has run through travel pouches, sea-creature charms, comb charms, and bakery-themed additions, with the Mejirushi Accessories 2 re-release pushed from the third week of September to the first week of October 2026. Lotteries and apparel fill the gaps: BANDAI SPIRITS ran the chilled-sweets Ichiban Kuji from July 31, Uniqlo put out a camping-themed UT collection on June 19 and a shark-themed one on September 28, and a vintage-style rock T-shirt line launched in July. Collaborations with Sanrio, Ultraman, and Kissako sit in the same stretch.
The retail footprint is where the schedule shows. A Chiikawa pop-up shared floor space at Future City Favore in Toyama through September 27, the mofusand TOKYO shop in Harajuku closed for renovation and reopens the same day the Nordic-forest WOODLANDS line lands on October 23, and the Mofumofu Market online store carries the same goods. Nothing in the stories points to a slowdown; the pattern is frequent concept rotation at a fixed set of storefronts.
