BENELIC Co., Ltd., the Japanese company behind the popular Ghibli specialty store "Donguri Republic," is launching a brand new "KAZARING" accessory series. The first wave features "Howl's Moving Castle" with the "KAZARING Full of Calcifer" blind box collectible rings! This series includes six standard designs plus one secret chase figure, each priced at 1,100 JPY and set to release on March 5, 2022.
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film "Howl's Moving Castle" is based on British fantasy author Diana Wynne Jones's 1986 novel "Howl's Moving Castle." Since its premiere on November 20, 2004, it has captivated audiences for over 15 years. Iconic elements like the mechanical, four-legged Moving Castle resembling a giant robot, along with protagonist Howl, heroine Sophie, Howl's apprentice Markl, and the castle's power source—Calcifer—remain widely popular characters.
The new "KAZARING" series merges beloved Ghibli characters with trendy casual accessories, creating a new type of collectible that's both easy to wear and doubles as an adorable display piece. The highly anticipated first release, "Howl's Moving Castle KAZARING Calcifer," features Calcifer's flame-inspired rings crafted from translucent material, making it look like a flickering fire on your finger. The six designs capture various lively scenes from the film, including classic moments like cooking breakfast, Calcifer's angry fiery form, and adding wood to the fire. Each ring also comes with a high-quality base, allowing you to display Calcifer as if he were resting in the fireplace with the embers.
