In just a few days, Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America Inc. will be attending C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo) in Chicago, August 5-7, 2022. This will be our third show following up from SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con) and Anime Expo, which were both held in Southern California. Now, we fly East to bring all the fun and action to Chicago, and we cannot wait. Last time we attended the show was back in March of 2020, right before the pandemic took a turn for the worst.
For those that were able to attend might remember the Godzilla statue, as well as the RX-78-2 Gundam statue where attendees got a chance to try our workshop model kits. It was also the second time we had held a Team Kamen Rider meet and greet, which had dozens of fans show up. It was the last physical show before we dived into digital shows.

Team Kamen Rider is thrilled to return to Anime Expo in Los Angeles, California. This year, the team has some fun and exciting plans to spread the awareness of Kamen Rider. This will be Team Kamen Riders first time at AX with a booth filled with displays. During their last visit to AX, they were still known as Team Rider and had only quite a few members. The team has grown quite a bit since then.
Don't know what a Kamen Rider is or want to learn more about Kamen Rider? Then, visit booth #2211 in the Exhibit Hall. The booth will have various rider belts on display, informational graphics, as well as a demo belt of the Ziku Driver from Kamen Rider Zi-O. If you’ve never had a chance to play with a Kamen Rider belt, then you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to interact with the Ziku Driver (it’s a fun belt to play with).

Ensky has recently announced new Japanese cloth (Tenugui) and puzzles featuring some of your favorite characters from the hit anime series.
Tenugui (te=hands; nugui=wipe) are traditional Japanese cotton towels that have been a staple of the Japanese home since the 9th century.
These multi-purpose cloths are used everyday as hand towels, dishcloths, and washcloths. They make great statement pieces as napkins, place mats, or table runners and are commonly worn as neckerchiefs or headbands. They hang elegantly on walls, providing beautiful decoration, and can serve as the perfect reusable gift wrap
Demon Slayer tenugui measures 35x100cm (13.7x39.3in). Made in Japan. Made of 100% Cotton. There are 14 characters to choose from. Which character would you want from the lineup? Let us know in the comments below.
