BAIT and Kotobukiya have collaborated on a limited skateboard deck featuring a "bishoujo"-styled Sadako. The holographic deck is available for pre-order at Anime Expo 2026 and will be sold at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. In Japan, it is a Kotobukiya shop exclusive, priced at 13,200 yen, releasing July 2026.
The deck uses a 7-ply maple wood construction and measures about 785 mm in total length. Its surface is holographically processed, shifting appearance with light. The illustration reimagines Sadako as a beautiful girl, a style Kotobukiya is known for. BAIT, a California-based select shop, contributed the street-style direction. Pre-orders open at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles, followed by on-site sales at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. Japanese sales are limited to Kotobukiya shops, though physical store availability remains undecided. The item is priced at 13,200 yen including tax.
