New Tenipuri merchandise at Mekke!

Browsed the Mekke! shopping pl@za which is where you can buy official merchandise of Tenipuri and there are new updates after a long time. There are new mousepads, keychains, wallets, book cover and tote bags in the selection so I'll put some of the pictures here. The first picture is the mousepad featuring the Seigaku members. Being the featured school, it is understandable most if not all of the merchandise will focus on them. And among the rival schools, Hyotei is always the first to release the goods.

Next would be the book cover featuring Fuji Shuusuke and his famous Higuma Otoshi. A Tezuka Zone book cover would be nice to have though but I guess they should have other versions which could have sold out during Jump Fest so they are only selling selected versions on the website. Otherwise, it's difficult to get Jump! Fest merchandise through channels other than going to the event personally.

Here's the Seigaku keychain where we have Tezuka, Fuji and of course our lead character, Echizen. I guess due to personal popularity, we usually see these 3 characters having all sorts of merchandise developed with their images like the foldable umbrella. I have no complaints on it though but it's just kind of sad that the other characters don't get to appear unless the merchandise features the whole team.

Likewise, in Hyotei's case, we would see Atobe, Oshitari and Kabaji most of the time. Well, I'm not sure whether Kabaji qualifies as one of the Top 3 when it comes to individual popularity but when Atobe-sama is around, Kabaji usually appears so I'm fine with that. Actually, I see Mukahi appearing with the No.1 and No.2 of Hyotei more as compared to Kabaji though like what happened for the Hyotei umbrella. I guess the No.3 slot is more flexible as compared to Seigaku.

This is the Seigaku wallet where the front shows Echizen and the reverse shows Aozu. I'm kind of surprised that this is in full colour since a lot of these images are not shown with colouring like what you will see with the tote bag at the end.

Last but not least, the tote bag is shown here. Well, although these items are available for sale online, apparently they do not ship to overseas addresses. As such, I wonder if I should sign up with Vpost Japan so as to shop with this website because I'm dying to get the Rikkai T-shirt or the Seigaku or Hyotei jerseys. Even if the shipping issue is settled, the thing is whether they recognise overseas cards for payment. This defeats the purpose of online shopping which should not be restricted to certain countries.
