Confirming the Western release of some product, and agreements between Konami Cross Media NY and other companies.
Konami Cross Media NY have announced five new licensing agreements for the brand, with Kawada Co., HYP Hats, First Kid General Trading, Monogram International and FuRyu Corporation.
First, with Kawada Co, the previously announced Nanoblocks sets will be coming to Western markets. No further details – including whether the sets will be divided, their prices, or their release dates – have been announced.
Next, with HYP Hats (Hypnotic Hats), a line of socks and sock-based gift sets for all ages will be available at retail in time for the holidays.
Focusing on the Middle Eastern and North African markets, First Kid General Trading will introduce a line of Yu-Gi-Oh! back-to-school products, including school bags, school accessories, stationery, arts and crafts and electronics.
An agreement with Monogram International was also confirmed – at SDCC 2024 this year, they had some collectable foam bag clips based on the Egyptian Gods (pictured below). According to Monogram’s vice president, Michael Normann, Yu-Gi-Oh! was one of the highlights of their SDCC products, and they are pleased to be working with KCM NY, looking forward to “a long and prosperous relationship”.
Finally, they announced their agreement with the FuRyu Corporation, developing collectible statues based on Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. According to License Global, these are available for pre-order, but they didn’t go into further details.

Smh YGOrg only posts about merch and rush duel!!!1!one
Rush Duels is hot garbage. You might as well used them as toilet paper at this point.
No. Yugioh cards would make awful toilet paper.
what are you talking does tcg/ocg don’t count as news? I know yu-gi-oh players can’t read but i didn’t know you losers we’re stupid as well
I have never seen more hot garbage than Justin Jones and his countless comments on every article moaning about something or nothing like how Odd Eyes needs a figure or the most surface level take about a card that’s not in the article.
They should call em Le-Gi-Oh!
I know those bricks.
They haunt my dreams.
Had to make a big set of em.
Agony.
Nanoblocks are garbage, don’t bother with them. You’re building with tiny bricks that don’t want to stick together, waste of money.
