Crazy Raccoon merchandise line "Tsumande Tsunagete Masukotto" is scheduled for release by Bandai in the fifth week of August 2026, with 12 members across two volumes. The team also announced the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends, set for Sunday, October 4, 2026, with 20 teams of three players.
Bandai is producing two gashapon volumes of "CRAZY RACCOON Tsumande Tsunaidete Masukotto," a set of capsule figures depicting members of the esports team in a pinched design. Each volume has 12 types, and each figure comes with either a ball chain or a crab clasp. Both volumes are priced at 400 yen per play and are scheduled for release in the fifth week of August 2026. The sets were first reported in early August, when Bandai said each volume would cover six members, with every member available in both attachment styles, and that the crab clip versions can be linked together.
Coverage of the gashapon line narrowed over August. Early stories described two sets covering six members each, with the two variants per member making 12 total items per set. Later reporting on August 29 reframed the same product as two volumes, each with 12 types, and stated that all 12 CRAZY RACCOON members appear in the line. One detail from the first story, that CR LAND would carry the sets early from August 1, does not appear in later reports.
The team's separate esports event moved forward in late September. Crazy Raccoon announced on Tuesday, September 29, the participants for the 11th Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends, with 20 teams of three and 60 players. The tournament runs from 17:00 on Sunday, October 4, 2026, with scrims beginning Thursday, October 1. Teams are assembled by rank and other factors. The field includes VTubers Lauren Iroas, Ibrahim, Fuwa Minato, Tokoyami Towa, Shibuya Hal, Ichinose Uruha and Nekota Tsuna, along with streamers Hikakin, LEO, SHAKA, Kato Junichi and Seki Yuta. TEAM 01 pairs Hey! Say! JUMP member Ryosuke Yamada, billed as LEO, with YouTuber HIKAKIN and former pro player cheeky.
