An anime collection can extend beyond a card binder into a cup or a small character hanging from a bag. 宅一番 has announced a run at Taipei's Eslite R79 from November 5, 2026, to January 24, 2027. The interesting question is how familiar characters translate into the different scales of cards, charms and everyday objects.
The brand's October 29 press material lists 28 IPs, nearly 400 cards and almost 170 blind-purchase items. Those figures describe the overall lineup, not an entirely new collection. Three new card sets, totaling 40 cards, are the clearly identified additions. This preview looks at their visual design and separates that from the purchase conditions visitors still need to check.
Three ways to look at a card collection
The Elusive Samurai's 14 cards use character colors, patterned borders and animation scenes. Isekai Quartet gives characters from different works a shared chibi-musician treatment across 12 cards, resembling a band that can be viewed one member at a time. The 14 new foil cards for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime bring battle poses and suited looks into one series.
Rather than choosing only by franchise, collectors can consider whether they prefer story memories, a unified crossover style or alternate character outfits. That is an editorial reading of the designs—not evidence of game mechanics, rarity tiers or resale value.

From the binder to the bag
The Teletubbies Taiwan Daily Life plush charms pair familiar characters with objects such as a rice cooker, bubble tea, fried chicken and blue-and-white slippers. Their appeal lies in recognizing a childhood character first and a local everyday reference second. A three-dimensional accessory can also become part of an outfit, rather than remaining a flat display in a binder.
The press material lists this series at NT$350. That is a listed product price, not a promise that the entire pictured collection costs NT$350. Check the package quantity, selection options, stock and random-allocation rules before buying.

A transformation that becomes part of using a cup
The DAN DA DAN color-changing cup is listed at NT$288. According to the brand, adding an iced drink changes the character artwork from everyday appearance to transformed form. It translates the story's transformation motif into a practical interaction, rather than a purely static display.

Dates, location and a budget to decide in advance
The announced run is November 5, 2026–January 24, 2027, at Eslite R79, B1, No. 16, Nanjing West Road, Datong District, Taipei. The brand lists daily hours of 11:00–21:30. Eslite's official store page gives the same mall hours, while its bookstore opens at 10:00; the bookstore schedule should not be treated as this event's opening time.
For blind purchases, set an overall budget and decide how many duplicates you would tolerate. Confirm the cost per purchase, package quantity and rules. The press information does not provide every card price or draw probability, so there is no reliable way to calculate the cost of completing a set or guarantee a particular character. Asking about the purchase format is more useful than making completion the goal.
