For the collectors, here’s the lowdown on convention exclusive items:

Are you a fan of kawaii culture? This next collection features merchandise from Japan that has been influenced by Tokyo trends and collectability:
New from Japan: Ai-tatA Bags
Ai-tatA bags are a big trend in Japan! Fans of different characters showcase their love by selecting and decorating these bags with all their favorite items. Show your love with a Hello Kitty, Aggretsuko, and Gudetama Ai-tatA bag!
Each bag also comes with a “starter kit” with special items (3-inch pin, pancake plush, vinyl pouch, and a jumbo acrylic trinket) that you can use to begin your bag decoration.
By the way, you can enter the Ai-TatA Tote Sweepstakes from now until July 16th for a chance to win one of your own before they're available! Click here to find out more.
Pronounced peeo-coh-NO-roo, they are irresistibly cute mini plush that sweetly hang with you. Place them on your desk or on a shelf and their cute little backsides hang over the ledge. Supercute friends who love to hang!

Re-ment is a Japanese company known for super-detailed miniature collectible sets. In case you didn’t know, the name stands for “reform the entertainment”.
