Universal Studios Japan is selling new winter apparel tied to its Super Nintendo World area through the official USJ online store. The lineup includes sweaters carrying a large design of Bowser's Castle or Peach's Castle on the front, described as ugly sweaters, priced at 12,000 yen each in unisex M and L sizes. Socks round out the range: Bob-omb Thick Socks at 2,300 yen and two types of Room Socks featuring Boos, ? Blocks, and Super Stars at 2,100 yen each. The Thick Socks and both Room Socks types are sold only to park visitors. Separately, a Yoshi plush keychain is on sale for 2,800 yen, with Yoshi gripping the chain in one hand in a pose that reads as mid-motion, as if about to jump. All items are Super Mario goods sold via the USJ online store.
The sweater designs are the loudest items in the set: one carries Bowser's Castle, the other Peach's Castle, both printed large across the front in the style the listing calls an ugly sweater. Sweaters run 12,000 yen in unisex M and L.
The three sock lines split on availability. Bob-omb Thick Socks at 2,300 yen and the two Room Socks designs at 2,100 yen are each restricted to park visitors, while the sweaters and the Yoshi keychain are sold through the USJ online store.
The Yoshi item is a 2,800 yen plush keychain where the character hangs from the chain itself, one hand gripping it. The listed pose puts Yoshi in a stance that suggests he is looking for somewhere to jump or staring hard at something, presented as if he might move at any moment.
All items are made for the Super Nintendo World area. Character and rights lines on the listings credit Universal and Nintendo.
