BATTLE ROYALE II merchandise

Battle Royale is an odd monster in that despite its serious issues, its cult appeal hasn't gone unnoticed by the Japanese merchandising industry, who are arguably the best when it comes to turning things into goods extravaganzas (Pokemon, Power Rangers, or Sanrio, anyone?). So, along with the release of BR2, there's the expected deluge of official (and eventually, unofficial) merchandise. Note that so far, NONE of these are available outside Japan:

BR2 Official Shop Shots - a special shop dedicated just to BR2 merchandise will be open through July 4 in Tokyo.
BR2 Apparel - Clothing designer company BA-TSU, who designed the uniforms and released apparel merchandise for the original movie, does it again.
BR2 Books - a rundown of the titles due to be released in Japanese bookstores in June.
BR2 Goods - Other merchandise that will hopefully find its way overseas.

The geeks line up. :) (Yeah, if I were in Japan, I'd be right there with them)



To (very roughly) convert to American dollars, divide by 100.
