Merch will always be available for fans of the series to pick up, including jackets, plush figures, and a hat. It’s not extremely clear how fans can go about grabbing these items just yet, but the festivities have begun at Universal Studios Japan, so if you find yourself there between now and next year, you’ll be able to check it out for yourself.
