Unveiling Exclusive Collectibles
Guests staying in either the “Ora no Cocoon” or “Hender Cocoon” themed rooms will be gifted these unique foil-stamped postcards, one for each person. But the treasure hunt doesn’t stop there! All collaboration room guests will also receive a “Sugoi na Sugoides Trump-style card” featuring an all-character collection pattern. “Sugoi na Sugoides” (meaning “Super Awesome”) is a playful nod to the film’s iconic magical playing cards, making these souvenirs feel like a tangible piece of the movie itself.
The excitement extends beyond the rooms, encouraging a park-wide adventure. The “Sugoi na Sugoides Trump-style cards” are part of a broader collection distributed across various event activities, each featuring a different character pairing:
-
Attraction Area: A “Macao & Joma” pattern card awaits those who participate in the photo spot and character panels at the “Ora no Hachamecha! Buriburi House” and share their experience on social media with the designated hashtags.
-
Collaboration Food: Indulge in themed dishes inspired by Henderland’s vibrant characters, and receive a “Shinnosuke & Toppema” pattern card with each purchase.
-
Collaboration Goods: Collect exclusive Henderland merchandise, and a “Su-no-man-pa” pattern card will be yours for every item bought.
This multi-faceted approach encourages fans to explore every corner of the event, collecting cards as if they were gathering clues in a grand adventure. Imagine the thrill of uncovering each unique design, just like Shin-chan himself!
