Pre-orders opened on May 27 via the Zoff official online store. The lineup is divided into three categories: Monster, Hero, and Item. The Monster collection includes frames inspired by Slime, Metal Slime, Slime Knight, Golem, and Baby Panther, with details like rubber Slime accents and a flip-up Metal Slime design. The Hero collection features two models based on Loto's equipment and Celestial equipment, with sword and shield motifs on the temples. The web-exclusive Item collection includes sunglasses modeled after the Mirror of Ra and glasses that use a moving temple to represent the Magic Key. Prices range from 11,100 yen to 16,600 yen for glasses and 11,100 yen to 13,300 yen for sunglasses. All purchases come with an original case and a command-patterned glasses cloth. Separate accessories include Slime and Metal Slime glasses cloths, a Metal Slime case, mascot cleaners, and glass holders. The collection will be available at Zoff stores nationwide and the official online store.","whyItMatters":"The collaboration translates specific in-game items and monster designs into functional eyewear, a format that requires balancing visual fidelity with wearability, and the range of price points and exclusive web items suggests Zoff is targeting both casual fans and collectors.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Monster collection offers the widest variety, with the Slime model using rubber for the body and the Metal Slime model featuring a flip-up lens for reading. The Slime Knight frame incorporates a sword and shield into the side parts, while the Golem frame hides the monster's eye inside the temple and the Baby Panther frame uses paw pads and a tail-shaped temple tip. The Hero collection's Loto model places the sword as if stuck through the temple, and the Celestial model wraps the sword over the top. Both include shield details on the temple tips.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Item collection, exclusive to the online store, includes the Mirror of Ra sunglasses with glossy lenses meant to evoke the item's reflective property, and the Magic Key model, where opening and closing the temple mimics unlocking a door. Accessories sold separately include glasses cloths in monster dot and job dot patterns, a Metal Slime-shaped case, mascot cleaners of Slime and Slime Coronet, and a Metal Slime glass holder. All frames come with a case printed with the anniversary logo and a glasses Slime, plus a cloth bearing the command pattern that reads 'Take care of your glasses' in the series' command style.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Zoff's Dragon Quest collection leans on monster motifs and item gimmicks rather than character portraits. That choice keeps the frames wearable for fans who want subtle series references, not cosplay.","twitterPost":"Zoff's Dragon Quest frames use monster shapes and item gimmicks instead of character prints. Wearable fandom, not cosplay.","threadsPost":"Zoff's Dragon Quest 40th anniversary eyewear collection avoids character portraits entirely. Monster silhouettes, item gimmicks like the Mirror of Ra sunglass lens and the Magic Key temple hinge, and subtle references like the Loto sword embedded in the temple keep the designs wearable for daily use. The choice signals a deliberate pivot from loud branding to functional fandom.","newsletterBlurb":"Zoff and Dragon Quest are releasing a 40th anniversary eyewear collection on June 5, with frames based on Slimes, Loto's equipment, and the Mirror of Ra.
