Beginning this month, fans of Cardcaptor Sakura can add teacups to their growing list of collector's merchandise. The two cups are part of prize giveaways at arcades and shops.
Cardcaptor Sakura ribbon pins were given away last month. In September, a Sakura figure will become available, followed by a Tomoyo figure and gift pouches in October, pocket watches and brooches in November, and blankets and a second round of pocket watches in December.
The magical girl is in the midst of her own 20th anniversary.
