The keychains will be sold at the official directly managed stores Nintendo TOKYO, OSAKA, KYOTO, and FUKUOKA starting in September. The product features keychains of fruits that appear in the Animal Crossing series. The product image also shows keychains of a \"Bell Bag\" and a \"Beehive,\" with the beehive appearing to come with a \"Medicine\" attachment. Before the general release, advance sales are planned starting August 14 at two locations: the \"Animal Crossing: Hokkaido Airpo Island Pop-Up Event in New Chitose Airport\" and the Nintendo POP-UP STORE in SAPPORO \"Animal Crossing: Daimaru Depa Island.\" Nintendo made the announcement on August 13 via its official store account on social media, which included a product image showing the keychain designs. The capsule toy format means customers receive a random fruit keychain from the collection.","whyItMatters":"The inclusion of the beehive keychain with a medicine attachment is a direct nod to a gameplay mechanic in the Animal Crossing series, where shaking trees can drop beehives that sting the player, and medicine is used to treat the sting.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe new capsule toy line is a physical merchandise extension of the Animal Crossing series, which has seen a range of products at Nintendo\u0026#39;s official stores. The product image shared by Nintendo shows a selection of fruit keychains, including what appears to be apples, cherries, and oranges, alongside the non-fruit items. The \u0026#34;Bell Bag\u0026#34; keychain references the in-game currency, while the \u0026#34;Beehive\u0026#34; keychain is a reference to a common hazard in the games. The medicine attachment on the beehive keychain is a playful detail that matches the in-game item used to cure bee stings. The advance sales at the Hokkaido Airpo Island pop-up event and the Sapporo pop-up store give attendees at those locations early access to the collection before the September release at the four main Nintendo stores. The announcement was made through Nintendo\u0026#39;s official store account on social media, which included the product image and details on the release schedule. The capsule toy format is a common merchandise format in Japan, where customers purchase a random item from a vending machine-style dispenser.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Animal Crossing beehive keychain comes with a tiny medicine bottle attached.
