Any idea when the merchandise will be available in the US?

If we knew, we'd tell you! But at this moment, there is no information in regards to overseas release. You can be sure to count on us if/when that changes though!

So much merch. A face towel? it's too nice to use on my face!

The Riku playart is really adorable.

I doubt the towel or Formation Arts will be released outside of the US but the Play Arts probably will be later this year ^_^

As for the towel, they don't release "odd" KH products outside of Japan. By "odd" I mean not usually seen as collector's pieces, like the mug, puzzles, shirts, folders, and probably this towel, the pencilcase, and the pen case. The reason being the only people who look up and import this stuff are collectors like myself and in most cases, I'd prefer the detailed figures over the towels and stuff any day as would most collectors so they don't bother to release them over here.

As for the Formation Arts, after talking with people who work for SE, it seems to be because there is a law in the US where they can't sell random boxes (you don't know what you're gonna get) without having the items approved and SE doesn't want to have to do that for every set released so they release them in Japan as well, but Ebay has those up already for preorder ^_^

Does anyone know if on the SE Formation Arts Volume 3 page if you are getting all 5 figure for that price? I mean, converted to USD it is $75 for all 5?!?!? That can't be right because that is WITH inflation so the price if they brought it to the US would be closer to $50 and these are by far the nicest set I think of them all O_o

Can't wait to see more of Axel's fire in HD!
