The Merchandise

 

 This is a comprehensive list of all Mttk (Someday's Dreamers) merchandise I could find. Sometimes the information maybe sketchy but it's all I could find and/or translate. Also, the images are in varying size as I wanted to optimize the images as there are few good images out there. Most images are taken from the sites that I found the merchandise on. Any errors please email me and I'll gladly correct them. Lastly please excuse any spacing errors, I shall fix them at a later date. I hope you enjoy perusing the list. ^_^

From March 2003 to June 2003, a fair was held at every Gemazu! store all over the country dedicated to MttK. One lottery ticket per item purchased was given to those who purchase MttK-related goods during the fair. The lottery ticket gave a person a chance to win a grand prize. the winning number was announced on Thursday, June 5, 2003. There were two prizes, the first being Miyazaki Aoi's (Yume) autograph. Three people won this. The second prize was Yoshizuki Kumichi's (Artist) autograph. Three people also won this. Various items were created specifically for this fair. Also, to the extent of the miscellaneous items, I'll be categorizing majority of them based on where you can buy them online.

Garage Kit
 This model is based off of Yoshizuki Kumichi's drawing of Yume. Prototype was made by YOSHI and is produced by KOTOBUKIYA. You have to assemble and paint her. For a larger and more clearer image, please click on her.

 Scale: 1/8th
 Price: ¥7,800 ($66.32)

 You may buy this at the online Kotobukiya store.

 

Clear File

     This was given out at Comiket 2003 at the Pioneer LDC Booth. Only 1,000 of these were made. Definitely a collectable.

Broccoli

Card Case
     Simply put a rather simple business card case. White with the series logo on the lid.

Price: ¥ 950 ($8.08)





Clear Poster
     Not too sure what a clear poster means. I dont think it's a big one tho. No specifications were listed on the website.

Price: ¥ 950 ($8.08)






Picture-mounting duplicate original picture
     I have no idea what that means. ^^;; I guess a duplicate of one of the artist's original images in a nice looking picture frame. This one costs a pretty penny.

Price: ¥5,150 ($43.80)











Chara-ani.Com
Telephone Card 1
This is a limited edition telephone card from chara-ani.com. I'm not too sure whether or not chara-ani.com ships internationally.

Price: ¥ 1,500 ($12.75)







Telephone Card 2
     This is a regular edition telephone card.



Price: ¥ 1,500 ($12.75)

Poster (Variety)
    Although there are six options on the website. All but two are sold out (including the picture here). The posters are 'A2' size, aka 420×594mm. The first four are from the anime while the last two, and still in stock, are from the manga.

Price: ¥ 2,000 ($17.00)




Mousepad (Variety)
   Although it seems as if the mouse pads are out of stock, I am still listing them. Given the same six image options, these mouse pads are 190×220mm in size. 100% polyester on one side, 100% rubber on the other side.

Price: Unkown (as cart option is not available)





Mini Tapestry (Variety)

     Once again this is given the same six image options as the previous two. However, it is available for the last two image options. The size is 540×390mm and they are made from 100% polyester. These are rather nice compared the to the mini bamboo tapestries you can find for sailor moon and dbz. ^^;;

Price: ¥ 3,200 ($27.22)



Re-Raise Cel
     Apparently these are special recreations of the original cels. From what I can understand, the anime was not done by normal cel painting and was all or mostly digital. Certain scenes were hand picked and recreated. The original cel items were sold via membership lottery. However, if view for MttK items via this link, there are some different cels for sale by regular means.

Prices: ¥10,000~¥20,000 ($85.09~$170.19)

Madoka Japan

   Madoka Japan specializes in selling anime cels. They have a different selection than chara-ani.com does. There also a slight more variety in characters. A few Angela and even some of Oyamada sensei. Some of the nicer cels are sold out but there are still a few good ones.

Price varies: ¥10,000~¥20,000 ($85.09~$170.19)



Animaxis

Postcard Set



    I can only assume these will be the postcard images used for the limited edition dvds of the North American release. The images were made with watercolor. Currently sold out but animaxis is usually good about getting some more stock in.

Price: ¥ 450 ($3.78)















Cell Phone Strap
     This is an adorable lil cell phone strap. Alas like most cute objects, this is currently sold out. Click on the image for the full view.


Price: ¥ 950 ($7.99)



Mage Ring
     From site:
This is a neat ring that were used by the main character, Yume Kikuchi.
     The "Ring" is the distributed item from the Department of Sorcerer Labor Control that works as their ID, and it has the crest of the Department of Sorcerer Labor Control on top. In the anime, Yume had the individual crest of the Dolphin registered in this ring as well. If you have watched the anime, this is one of the item you probably wished to have it for yourself!
      Also, if you look the inner-side of the ring very carefully, you can see the light engravement of "Nihon Naikakufu Mahou Roumu Toukatsukyoku" (Japan Cabinet Office Department of Sorcerer Labor Control) as well.
It comes in a clear plastic case.

Size: Size 16 (US size #8) for MEN.
Material: Probably Stainless.

    IMHO, this is a rather ugly looking ring and does not look like any of the ones in the series. I do not like the fact that this was made for men only. Animaxis suggests for women to use as pendant. ¬_¬

This item is also out of stock.

Price: ¥ 1,800 ($15.14)





Below are sites that I found that contained Mahou Tsukai Ni Taisetsu Na Koto items. Majority of them are japanese only sites. So I've linked directly to the category of MttK. Anything in parentheses indicate which items they offer. You also can search ebay but 99.9% of items there are just the bootleg dvds which I do NOT reccomend.

Amazon.co.jp (Manga, novels, vhs, dvds, cds)
Animaxis (Manga, first few dvds, cds, artbooks, specialty items)
Broccoli (specialty items) Since it's in frames, you have to look for the series name in Japanese
Chara-Ani and alt page (manga, artbook, dvds, cds, specialty items)
Kotobukiya (garage kit)
Madoka Japan (cels)
Right Stuf (american dvd and cd)
