SuperGroupies has revealed a new collection of merchandise inspired by Square Enix and Disney’s Kingdom Hearts series, which it will release in 2025. The brand has also opened pre-orders for the items on its Japanese website.
This batch will generally consist of three item types. The multipurpose shoulder pouches will cost 13,200 yen (~$88.25) apiece, and the shoes will be available in seven sizes with the same price tag of 15,400 yen (~$103). SuperGroupies will also sell stoles with attached charm keychains at 14,300 yen (~$95.60).
This new collection will be modeled after six Kingdom Hearts characters, which are Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Axel, and Xion. The items will have mostly unique designs themed after each character, but the insides may have a similar design for characters in the same group (Sora-Riku-Kairi, or Roxas-Axel-Xion).
Here are the sample images showing the individual character-inspired items in each category:

While SuperGroupies also has a separate web store dedicated to the U.S., the official X account noted that these new Kingdom Hearts items are only available for pre-orders on the original Japanese site. However, the Japanese web store has been supporting worldwide shipments via the WorldShopping proxy service. In addition, WorldShopping is also offering peak season surcharge-free costs for orders placed by October 31, 2024.
This will be the fifth time SuperGroupies is producing Kingdom Hearts merchandise. The brand previously released items to mark the series’ 20th anniversary in 2022. It also produced fashion items themed after Kingdom Hearts III in 2020 and 2018.
The pre-order period for the new Kingdom Hearts merchandise lineup will close on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. SuperGroupies will ship the Kingdom Hearts shoulder pouches and stoles first in late February 2025, with the shoes following suit two months later in late April 2025.
