The collection launches on May 22, 2026, at Manhattan Portage stores nationwide, the official online store, authorized dealers, Chiikawa Land, Chiikawa Market, and Premium Bandai. This release comes ahead of the first Chiikawa film, "Movie Chiikawa: The Secret of Mermaid Island," which opens on July 24 and adapts the Siren Arc.
