The Sengoku Basara game franchise and Japanese flash animation Eagle Talon are teaming up once again for a special event.
Parco Gallery X in Japan is currently presenting the "Sengoku Basara x Eagle Talon ~Heroes of the Sengoku Era and Shirozeme~" event. The event will be selling several collaboration goods that cross over outfits from Sengoku Basara characters worn by two Eagle Talon characters, Yoshida-kun and Dr. Leonardo. A recent commercial (shown above) show Sanada Yukimura and Yoshida-kun (dressed as Sanada Yukimura) showing off the many products.
Dr. Leonardo can be seen portraying Sanada and Date Masamune in a set of rubber cellphone straps. The bear is available portraying other characters as well.
2D display figures are also being sold that illustrate the original Sengoku Basara characters as well as their Dr. Leonardo cosplaying counterparts.
The costumed bear can also be seen on sticker sets and special hand towels.
One of the most prominent products is a special clear file featuring the many cosplaying Dr. Leonardos and Yoshida-kuns.
Any purchase of 2000 yen or more (about US$16) will receive a special set of themed coasters as a special gift.
Anyone who visits during Japan's Silver Week will have the chance to win special coasters autographed by Sanada's voice actor, Sōichirō Hoshi. They may also have the chance to get an autograph from Eagle Talon creator FROGMAN. The event will last until September 28.
The two franchises previously worked on a collaboration in which FROGMAN's characters portrayed the Sengoku Basara cast in a special illustration.
