The Idolmaster Shiny Colors franchise is expanding into physical merchandise with a plush series, a high-end figure, and a plastic model kit, all announced in 2026.
Bandai Spirits and Megahouse have been releasing new merchandise for The Idolmaster Shiny Colors throughout 2026, each tied to specific in-game themes or character designs. In May, Bandai Spirits announced the first 30 MINUTES SISTERS (30MS) plastic model kit for a Shiny Colors idol, Kaho Komiya, set for release on May 30, 2026. The kit includes pre-colored parts, three face types, and compatibility with other 30MS parts, alongside a separate option parts set releasing the same day.
In June, Megahouse revealed the colored prototype of a Lucrea figure for Higuchi Enka, based on her SSR Produce Idol [Merry] illustration from the Twilights Collection. The figure depicts her in the costume 'Palmieri In View' in a dynamic pose, with pre-orders opening in early July on Premium Bandai and other sites.
In July, Bandai Spirits announced a six-volume chibi gurumi plush series tied to the PJ: REFRAC7IONS shuffle unit project, releasing exclusively at Namco locations starting November 2026. Volumes 1 through 4 arrive in November, volumes 5 and 6 in December. The three merchandise lines cover different price points and collector segments, from model kits to prize plushies, without any single game or anime release announced alongside them.
