An Exciting Collaboration between Sky and Gashapon
In a thrilling announcement, thatgamecompany, Inc., based in California, has confirmed a collaboration with Bandai's Gashapon division for the third consecutive year. To celebrate the seventh anniversary of the beloved game,
Sky: Children of the Light, players can look forward to the release of the new “
Sky: Children of the Light Marking Accessories” starting the fifth week of July 2026.
These unique accessories are part of a growing trend in capsule toys, allowing fans to add a touch of their favorite characters to everyday items such as umbrella handles and water bottles. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also allow players to bring a piece of the
Sky universe with them wherever they go. As a result, these little collectibles have gained popularity on social media and in stores alike.
The
Marking Accessories depict the iconic star children from
Sky as approximately 33mm tall 3D mascots. Attaching them to personal belongings enables fans to enjoy the enchanting world of
Sky in their daily lives.
This new collection includes six types, one of which remains a secret. The featured designs encapsulate the gentle emotions familiar to players, with expressions such as “waving,” “doing a handstand,” “joyfully exclaiming,” “reading a book,” and “making a heart shape with hands.” Chosen through a vote by the developers at thatgamecompany, these gestures represent the warmth and expressiveness inherent in the
Sky experience.
The accessories will gradually hit the shelves of Gashapon vending machines located in Bandai's official shops, toy departments, mass retailers, and electronics stores across the country, starting from the week of July 5, 2026. This is a perfect opportunity for enthusiasts to pick up their favorite star children accessories and enhance their daily outings.
