Shohei Ohtani's merchandise line keeps expanding, with a McFarlane Toys 6-inch MLB figure open for preorder and a 1/6 scale figure with Blitzway due in December 2026. Cygames has tied a Dodgers game sponsorship to an Ohtani championship ring giveaway.
Ohtani's commercial footprint now runs through several licensing channels at once. McFarlane Toys has a 6-inch action figure of the Los Angeles Dodgers player open for preorder at Rakuten Books, about 15 cm tall with 22 points of articulation, a bat, and a base carrying the MLB logo. It is listed at 5,800 yen including tax, 4,869 yen at Rakuten Books, with a domestic run of 3,000 units.
A separate McFarlane Toys and Blitzway collaboration has a 1/6 scale Ohtani figure in a Dodgers uniform with preorders running until August 24, 2026. That lineup comes in two versions, a DELUXE VER. with pitcher and batter parts and a STANDARD VER. built around batting. Release is scheduled for December 2026.
Bandai's gashapon set 'MLB TM Capsule Torso Players Edition' collects six Japanese players active in MLB, Ohtani among them alongside Munetaka Murakami, Kodai Senga, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Seiya Suzuki, and Lars Nootbaar. It is set for the third week of July 2026 at 500 yen each.
Cygames has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Dodgers and will title-sponsor the game '2025 World Series Ohtani Ring Presented by Cygames' at Dodger Stadium on September 2, 2026, local time, against the St. Louis Cardinals with a scheduled 7:10 p.m. start. The visitor benefit is a Shohei Ohtani model 2025 World Series championship ring, commemorating the Dodgers' titles in 2024 and 2025. Cygames' name and logo will appear on the stadium's vision screens, signage, official website, social media, and distributed materials, with a booth in the outer perimeter area. Whether Ohtani will play, the ring distribution method, and the number of rings have not been announced. Time also named Ohtani to TIME100 Sports 2026 in the Icons category, alongside Lionel Messi and LeBron James.
