FuRyu has revealed a new lineup of Kirby merchandise, titled Kirby Diary Obento. These items will appear as crane game prizes in Japanese amusement centers in late December 2024.
The collection will primarily consist of three item types. The first one will be a large plush of Kirby with a chef hat and a partially eaten onigiri. The second will be a sub-collection of mascot plushes featuring the likes of Kirby and Waddle Dee inside meal boxes. While there have also been more food-themed collaborations like Monaka cakes and Heinz ketchup pouches revealed in late 2024, neither the mascots nor the meal boxes in this lineup will be actually usable or edible, as all of them are being made with fluffy materials.
The third and last item type in the lineup will be stainless drink bottles that people can actually use to store water. There will be two variations of the bottles, with each of them featuring Kirby and Waddle Dee separately. The bottles will have an approximate size of around 17 cm (~6.69 inches).
The Kirby Diary Obento lineup will have its own separate category from FuRyu’s prior Kirby-themed crane game prizes. The company has been gradually releasing merchandise based on Nintendo and HAL Laboratory’s game franchise since August 2024.
The Kirby Diary Obento items will be available as prizes from crane games in amusement centers across Japan starting from the fourth week of December 2024.
