Eyewear brand Zoff will launch a Dragon Quest 40th anniversary collaboration collection on June 5, with pre-orders beginning May 27. The lineup includes nine models across three categories: Monster, Hero, and Item. The Monster collection features designs based on Slimes, Metal Slimes, Slime Knights, Golems, and Baby Panthers. The Hero collection includes frames inspired by Loto's equipment and Sky equipment. The web-exclusive Item collection incorporates the Mirror of Ra and the Magic Key. Prices range from 11,100 yen to 16,600 yen, including the set lens fee. All glasses and sunglasses come with a case printed with the Glasses Slime and anniversary logo, plus an eyeglass cleaner. Separate accessories include eyeglass cleaners, cases, mascot cleaners, and glass holders, priced from 900 yen to 2,500 yen. The collection will be available at Zoff stores nationwide and the official online store.
The Slime model uses rubber material on the side metal parts and temple tips. The Slime sunglasses model uses the patented "SNAP GRIP" structure in Slime color. The Metal Slime model has a flip-up structure for close-up viewing, with the armor and a bubble pattern on the temple tips. The Slime Knight model reproduces the sword in the right hand and shield in the left hand as side parts. The Golem model places the Golem eye inside the temple and the arms and fists on the outside. The Baby Panther model uses paw pads on the side parts and a tail on the temple tips.
The Loto Hero model expresses the Loto Sword as if stuck inside the temple, with a shield on the temple tip. The Sky Hero model places the Sky Sword over the temple. The Mirror of Ra sunglasses use glossy lenses to reflect the mirror. The Magic Key model expresses a door opening through the opening and closing of the temple.
Separate accessories include four eyeglass cleaner designs (Slime, Metal Slime, Job Dot, Monster Dot) priced from 900 yen to 1,500 yen, a Metal Slime eyeglass case for 2,000 yen, two Smile Slime Mascot Cleaner designs (Glasses Slime and Glasses Slime Coronet) for 2,500 yen each, and a Metal Slime glass holder for 2,500 yen.
