Today I’m diving deep into one of my favorite rabbit holes: Kyattou Ninden Teyandee trading cards — and the incredible Chinese Bandai display album that was designed to showcase and explain them.

This album wasn’t just storage — it was part guidebook, part exhibit.

Each page is laid out to:

• Display the cards cleanly

• Explain characters, mecha, and power values

• Show off card rarity, point systems, and foil variations

• Function almost like an in-universe encyclopedia

The cards themselves range from:

• Character cards (Nyankī, villains, civilians)

• Normal & Mega-Up forms

• Action scenes pulled straight from the anime

• Gorgeous patterned and holographic foils

• Power values that feel very late-80s / early-90s Bandai

And yes — this includes non-Japanese releases, which makes it even cooler.

Seeing how KNT was localized, presented, and marketed in Chinese-speaking regions adds a whole extra layer of history to the franchise.

This set is one of those pieces that really drives home how big Teyandee was at the time — big enough to justify full trading card ecosystems and dedicated display albums.

Absolutely one of my favorite archival pieces in the collection.

More deep cuts coming. 😼💥
