Eren and Levi Trade Their Gear for Prison Uniforms

Tokyo-based merchandise maker arma bianca announced the Attack on Titan Animate Fair in 2026 on the Japanese press release site PR TIMES on July 9, 2026. Every item in the lineup uses newly drawn illustrations built on a guard-and-prisoner concept, a noticeably darker dress-up theme than the cafe outfits and casual-wear variants that usually fill these retail events.

Eren and Levi anchor the exclusives. Buy a sealed box of the fair's trading glitter can badges at Animate, the Japanese anime retail chain hosting the event, and you get a bonus glitter badge of the pair in guard uniforms while supplies last. The prisoner version of the same Eren and Levi badge is planned as the box bonus on AMNIBUS, arma bianca's own online store, where the full lineup goes on general sale starting October 3, 2026. Completionists will need to buy from both.

The badge set itself covers eight random designs at 605 yen each. A sealed box runs 4,840 yen and guarantees the complete set.

The Lineup Runs From 550-Yen Stickers to 3,960-Yen Desk Mats

The guard-and-prisoner art carries across a long product list: Ani-Frame and bromide four-packs (715 yen each), 100mm can badges (six designs, 715 yen), A3 matte posters (six designs, 880 yen), big acrylic keychains (1,100 yen), acrylic card two-packs (1,430 yen), clear file three-packs (1,650 yen), big acrylic stands (1,980 yen), extra-large acrylic stands (3,300 yen), and multi desk mats (3,960 yen).

There is also a separate Chibitoko range of chibi-style designs, covering can badge sets, illustration cards, acrylic stands, die-cut stickers, hard card cases, and double-wire keychains, priced between 550 and 1,980 yen. Everything sells first at the fair, with AMNIBUS stock following from October 3.

Two Campaigns, Two Sets of Freebies

The online round comes first. From July 9 to July 26, 2026, every 1,100 yen in qualifying pre-orders on Animate's online shop earns one film-style illustration card from a 14-design set, bundled with the shipment.

The in-store round runs October 3-18, 2026 at nine Animate locations: the Ikebukuro flagship, Sendai, Sapporo, Nagoya, Akihabara, Fukuoka PARCO, Osaka Nipponbashi, Yokohama Vivre, and Umeda. There, every 1,100 yen spent on Attack on Titan character goods earns one postcard, again from a 14-design set. In both cases, the designs are random and the freebies end when stock runs out. The in-store campaign does not apply to online orders.

On top of that, arma bianca is running a giveaway on X: follow the official AMNIBUS account and repost the campaign post, and one winner receives complete sets of both card series, 28 cards in all. Entry and shipping are limited to Japan.

Looking Ahead

The schedule breaks down into three beats: online pre-orders through July 26, the store fair from October 3 to October 18, and general AMNIBUS sales starting October 3. Full item photos and terms are on the fair's special site.

For international fans, the picture is thinner. The release only covers Japanese stores and Japanese online shops, and the X giveaway explicitly ships within Japan only. No overseas sales route has been announced, so for now this one belongs to fans in Japan or anyone with a way to shop there.
