Older Japanese collectible lines that are officially regaining momentum — new anime adaptations, anniversary campaigns, official re-releases. Every entry links to its public announcement; we do not list rumors or estimated dates.
Last updated: September 12, 2026 (updated daily)
Re-trending means attention coming back to an older line; it is not the same thing as a new product having a date. When one of the lines below turns into an actual announced release it moves to the Release Calendar, which carries officially announced dates only — worth checking before paying a premium for a secondhand copy of something that is about to be reissued.
