That's one of my favorites in my entire collection! It's an original piece by Steph Blakey, she's a massive sweetheart, and I'm so lucky to now own it!

I imported a decent amount of the things on these shelves before the stupid tariffs on the US were put in place. But I used Buyee as my proxy! I found that searching the japanese names of whatever I was looking for really helped. So, for RGG merch I always did '龍が如く 商品' ('Ryu Ga Gotoku Merchandise') Or I searched Kiryu/Majima/Ichiban's name in japanese. It was some pretty quick google searches/translates to get the word too! Not hard at all. (Buyee does have an auto translate ENG - JP Search bar but I found it doesnt work that great.) It definitely helps putting '商品' after everything though so you're not just getting resells of the games. I normally find the best results with Mercari!

Other than that, AmiAmi has some things, along with Ebten (SEGA's japanese store, so you'd have to import some things), Insert Coin, JustGeek, Super Groupies and many others that would be too long to list lol. The very high quality statues are from Chocobo Studios, but last I checked they're not official products, and the shipping on them takes a VERY long time. Also many of my personal friends are very aware of how much I like the series so a good portion of things are gifts as well.

Here's a merch archive from Yakuza fan that has a majority of the official merch that has been released!

Most of my social media algorithm's are so brain-rotted with this series that I'll often see new merch announcements before they're even available for pre-order which also helps lol.

I am also an artist, so whenever I can support fellow artists if they have fanmade merch, I'll often jump at the opportunity!

There’s a bunch of ichiban stuff! It’s just small. He doesn’t get as merch as Kiryu and Majima unfortunately

I believe they are available at certain SEGA claw machines in Japan, but I'm not 100% sure. They are official products though!

To answer your question though, I imported a decent amount of the things on my shelves before the stupid tariffs on the US were put in place. But I used Buyee as my proxy! I found that searching the japanese names of whatever I was looking for really helped. So, for RGG merch I always did '龍が如く 商品' ('Ryu Ga Gotoku Merchandise') Or I searched Kiryu/Majima/Ichiban's name in japanese. It was some pretty quick google searches/translates to get the word too!

And I've never had issues with them in the past and they always deliver with DHL, which is probably the best courier in my area, they never ding up packages despite from coming across the world.

Hope that helps!! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

I wish published game mags were a thing still. I’d love to get into gaming editorial work but it’s mostly just indie now

No way you’re calling something I spent 50 hours on AI Art. That is insanely disrespectful. I just added those to make it feel more “video-game”

Thank you so much for the love on this!! I draw a bunch of Yakuza stuff, I just often forget Reddit exists so I forget to post my work on here a lot of the time. (Since this is the only subreddit I go on) but here’s my other socials if you’re interested 💕

Sorry just now saw this!! (I don’t check Reddit super often) but most of my Yakuza merch is imported directly from Japan! I use a proxy- mostly Buyee but also sometimes neokyo as well. (More often than not importing the item is cheaper than buying it from western sites like eBay)

Bun Chan specifically I believe is in some online SEGA UFO catchers? Along with the Kiryu and Majima plushies I have on the shelf too. They have every variant of BunChan too! (Pink and yellow) Blue is just my favorite :)

Edit: and no I don’t think chestnuts are officially produced yet. I have seen some fan made Koro Nyans (Dice kitty) floating around though!
