SuperGroupies is running three anime collaborations at once. The newest is an Aikatsu Stars! line tied to the 2027 film Hoshiboshi no Progress, with preorders open since November 2 and delivery expected around late April 2027. Preorders are also open on Nintama Rantaro items through Animate channels until December.
SuperGroupies works in licensed collaborations, and the three lines in this cluster show how it picks properties and storefronts. The pattern is preorder windows, Animate distribution, and items built around a specific character rather than a whole cast.
The Bocchi the Rock! line, with preorders that closed September 28, 2026, moved the merchandise toward a supporting character's wardrobe. The sukajan is modeled on SICK HACK bassist Kikuri Hiroi, alongside an oversized Kessoku Band rider jacket that renders the opening theme's title as "Seisyun Complex" and 8-hole boots with a clear sole showing the Kessoku Band logo on the left and "Tsuchinoko Bocchi" on the right.
The Nintama Rantaro items build around Rikichi Yamada and Hansuke Doi, and they run toward everyday clothing and bags. Rikichi gets a green mountain parka whose sleeves fold back to reveal a shogi bishop piece and a deer doll, plus a blue-lined 2-way tote bag; Doi gets a black tote bag. Those orders run through Animate channels until December.
The Aikatsu Stars! line is the newest and the one tied to an upcoming film rather than a TV series. Preorders opened November 2 for four items tied to the 2027 film Hoshiboshi no Progress: Yume Nijino and Lily Shirogane each get a watch with a watch stand and a smartphone strap. The watches cost 22,000 yen and the straps 6,050 yen, with delivery expected around late April 2027.
