This collaboration between Granup and Tatsunoko Production re-imagined the Samurai Pizza Cats as a bright, retro-style festival lineup. The “Balloon Flight” theme plays on the trio’s playful personalities — being carried by a collection of balloons that reflected each of the Nyanki’s unique personalities and story arcs..
The designs were exclusive to Granup’s online shop and pop-up venue. Each item was produced with a uniform aesthetic so the entire set forms a cohesive display — a modern tribute to the Nyanki’s 1990 roots.
Acrylic standees (アクリルスタンド) are one of Japan’s most popular collectible formats for modern anime goods.
They’re printed on durable clear acrylic, giving the art a crisp, glossy finish that holds up to light and display over time.
Many designs come with a removable base, allowing you to pose or group characters creatively.
The style first became mainstream in the mid-2010s as conventions and cafés began selling limited event merch — and has since become a staple for both official collaborations and indie creators alike.
Today, acrylic standees are as collectible as figures — often limited to short production runs tied to pop-up events or anniversaries like this one.
