Retro Lupin Merch (1967-2005)

Here's some cool Lupin items that have a gimmick to them.

There are a few Lupin piggy banks that have been made (fitting), but the most interesting imo are these interactive ones from 2001 (according to myanimeshelf.com) from Banpresto. You can have Fujiko or Lupin steal your money so you can save it for the future! How thoughtful of them!

This one I showed on the movie Discord a bit back, but we have calculators that look like typewriters and when you press the buttons it makes the noises from the Title card! They're from around 2005?

OOooo, I'll have to look into when the Zenigata one was released. There are so many specific merch that has been made of one off characters or specific moments. Especially on Cagliostro lol. Like there's that video that says you could live off of Evangelion merch, but legit think you could recreate Cagliostro just using merch, there is so much merch of specific scenes from the movie.
Oh yeah! If you do find out when that little bikeZeni came out I'd love to know! The only copyright on him is ©MP/TN

So I've googled a bit and I didn't know the Zenigata keychain is from a collab between Lupin III and the bowling chain, Round1, just with the bowling pin missing.

Kinda hard to research since there doesn't seem many documentation of them, but these keychains came in blindbags it seems and were given away to people visiting the bowling alley. There was also bowling pin Clock, inflatable bowling pins, and paper picture frames?
Not sure exact when this collab happened since I also couldn't find a date, but the oldest listing I saw selling these items was from 2018.

Whaaaat that's so cool, thank you so much for looking into this?! Yeah I did purchase it in 2018 actually, so I wonder if it's that listing even! Too bad the bowling pin didn't come with it.

round1 is wild, they've got more than bowling like karaoke rooms to rent and arcade games. wikipeepeea has a page on the company here

I have all the 92 Bandpestro plushes. They're one of the best plush sets.


There's also this one:

There was a picture on the old (old) forums of someone's plushes and I remember there were some that were huge. I wonder if those exist or I'm just making it up.

not gonna lie - I really want that calculator now. Not only does it look like a typewriter, IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE TOO. Love it!
