Sanrio and Bandai Namco announced a new collection of Crayon Shin-chan crossover keychains that pairs them up with Sanrio Hapidanbui mascot characters. These are available in gashapon capsule machines in Japan. It costs 300円 (~$2) per try. There’s no word yet on a North American release, but the US and Canadian debuts typically happen a few months after the Japanese ones.

Since this involves the Sanrio Hapidanbui mascot unit, only certain characters are part of the Crayon Shin-chan crossover. Each pairing tends to involve the Sanrio personality dressed as the character from the manga and anime series. The sole exception is Pochacco, as Shiro is actually dressed like him instead. Every keychain is flat and made of rubber. 

Here are all of the pairings present for this keychain collection:

  • Action Mask with Pekkle
  • Buriburizaemon with Hangyodon
  • Kantam Robo with Keroppi
  • Shinnosuke with Badtz Maru
  • Shiro with Pochacco
  • Waniyama-san with Tuxedosam

The Crayon Shin-chan crossover keychains with Sanrio Hapidanbui characters are available in Bandai Namco gashapon machines in Japan now, and there’s no exact North American release window yet. The Crayon Shin-chan manga is handled by One Peace Books outside Japan, and the anime isn’t streaming anywhere in the US at the moment.
