Tezuka In English Discussion Forums

Figured some people here would be interested.

has a bunch of neat Tezuka merchandise up for preorder, including keychains, mugs, figures, and even art prints.

I asked about the release date regarding some items, and it seems that items with MAR in the SKU code are set to be released in July, and items with JUN in it may be released in October. So, add five months to the month indicated in the SKU. Since the items are imported, the release dates may shift around a little.

Those keychains look great--I'm thinking of getting the Black Jack one and perhaps a hyoutantsugi as well. Anybody else interested in what they're selling?

Oh, thanks for showing this!

Anything Black Jack, of course! Actually, when I went to Japan two summers ago, I got the gray mug. It also has a description (in English) of Black Jack's character. Lovely mug.

Thanks so much for showing this! Definitely grabbing some of this. By the way, do you know anything about the Tezuka merch Diamond was set to release?

The mugs look great and I think I'll be ordering at least one of them as well, since I do like my coffee. And @Whitelion, I haven't seen any news about that yet, but to my understanding most of the stuff Diamond distributes is sold main in comic stores, or you can at least special order them through comic stores. I don't think they have anything for sale online. :/

Aw, that's too bad. :c There's no comic shop in the 30 mile radius of where I live unfortunately.

I know the feeling. :/ There's just one comic shop an hour away from my house, but they specialize in monthly comics from DC and Marvel. I saw Astro Boy for sale there once, but no other Tezuka.

For what it's worth, many of those Diamond products may become available online eventually, via eBay or comic stores that just sell stuff online. It's a matter of keeping your eyes open.
