Fans of Granblue Fantasy (or maybe just Sandalphon!) will be happy to see some of this new merch!

▲ Acrylic Trading Straps Vol.9 – 715 yen

These straps are so cute. Of course, I especially like the Sandalphon ones and Lucio isn’t bad either! And look at Azazel! So cute! We need more merch of Sandy with 12 wings.

▲ Sandalphon & Lucifer Keychains (sold separately) – 90% off!

▲ For every 1,100yen you spend, you get one random bromide (6 types) for free.
