With February now upon us, the global anime giant Crunchyroll has unveiled a seasonal curation of merchandise designed to tempt fans of romance, action, and supernatural slice-of-life. While the focus is ostensibly on Valentine’s Day gifting, the selection highlights a significant expansion of the Crunchyroll Store inventory, featuring high-end statuettes and physical media from some of the year’s most talked-about series.
However, for those whose tastes lean more towards the “indescribable horror” end of the romantic spectrum, there is a viral alternative making waves this month. In a stark departure from traditional bouquets, Geek Native is tracking the Adopt-a-Shoggoth campaign—an anti-Valentine’s Day candidate that suggests a pet from the Cthulhu Mythos might be more loyal than any mortal suitor.
The Crunchyroll line-up leans heavily into popular current titles. Fans of the supernatural hit DAN DA DAN can find plushies and “look up” figures of Momo and Okarun, while those following the critically acclaimed Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End are offered a “relax time” statuette of the titular elven mage. The collection also caters to collectors of classic and recent hits, including Dragon Ball Z, Spy x Family, and Solo Leveling.
Curation Highlights
The February selection includes:
- Figures: Sailor Moon Cosmos poseable figures and Mai Sakurajima from Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid.
- Plushies: Characters from DAN DA DAN and eldritch alternatives via independent campaigns.
- Music: Rent-A-Girlfriend Best Selection vinyl.
- Home Video: Tonikawa: Over the Moon for You Season 2 on Blu-ray.
Most items are currently available for immediate purchase or pre-order directly via the Crunchyroll Store.
