New Japanese Merchandise from Takara Tomy A.R.T.S.

I was checking out some different store sites the other day and stumbled upon these pre-orders.

The first is from HobbyLink Japan and is called "Hetalia Passport Fortunes" and are supposed to be out this month.

There's supposed to be 10 in a box, even though the picture only shows 6...so I dunno if that means you get doubles of 4 of them or if other characters like Russia and France are in the box but aren't shown in the advert. The whole set is available for pre-order for 1600 yen.


The second is from Toy Logic and is a set of stamps.

Toy Logic's site says the box comes with a set of 6 stamps, so I'm guess the six smaller stamps come 2 in a individual box. Their site says it's supposed to come out in July and they have it for pre-order for $35.99...

Now for the potential warning- HLJ also had the stamps listed here, but has canceled the pre-order. I know Toy Logic has had issues with pre-orders in general before, so I went over to Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. website to check it out. I did find the listing for the Fortune-telling Passports for the month of May. I did not find a listing for the stamps,  because the list only when through the month of June. So it may be on the list next month, or it may have been canceled- we'll just have to wait and see.

As far as the Passport Fortunes go, the text at the bottom says it's only the six characters shown. Preorders for the Tomy keychain sets also said "10 pcs" on HLJ while the set still only had 6 figures (though I never ordered from HLJ, and they are Gashapon, so they might send 10 at random?). So I don't really think it's any extra characters...

For the stampers... I'm amazed to see a character other than Russia actually missing. Want. So much. ;u;

I was thinking that maybe they were counting each stamp individually? I dunno- I haven't ordered from HLJ either and after they said you get ten passports, I wasn't sure what to think when it came to their numbers. XD

And I'm sorta sad it says it's only those six for the passports- I had hoped that since we were getting China, maybe we'd get Russia too (I still find it weird they didn't make France, for this or the keychains, since they made one for the line of passport memos)

THOSE STAMPS. I would probably end up with the Allies in red ink on my face. And-AND ARE THOSE NOTEBOOKS?! I WOULD TOTALLY FILL EACH ONE W/FANFICTIONS FOR THE CHARACTER ON THE FRONT.
