The set includes Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zenin, Choso, and Naoya Zenin. GENDA GiGO Entertainment, POP MART, and Toho are collaborating on the project, which marks the first time POP MART figures appear as crane game prizes after previously selling through directly managed stores, EC platforms, and ROBO SHOPS. The companies have partnered since November 2021, when a POP MART ROBO SHOP vending machine opened at GiGO Akihabara 3rd Building, with a second installation at GiGO Osaka Dotonbori Main Store in 2024. Beyond Japan, blind box merchandise sales are planned for overseas markets, including two GiGO Shanghai locations. The figures use POP MART's sculpting technology to reproduce characters from the globally popular anime, which concluded its manga serialization in September 2024 and is currently airing its third season.
