Gachapon figures are hugely popular among Taiwanese consumers, and even foreign tourists show great interest in domestic character merchandise. 7-11 City Café has launched a new points collection campaign that has sparked widespread discussion. This time, the campaign combines popular Gachapon figures with the Mid-Autumn Festival, featuring five Mid-Autumn-themed mini figures and four festive large figures, including Chang’e (the Moon Goddess), mooncakes, Ghost Festival, and Halloween designs. The diverse outfits and styles have become a new focus for collectors.

The limited-edition Mid-Autumn Gachapon mini figures include Chang’e, pomelo, mooncake, skewered barbecue, and CITY CAFÉ designs; the large figures feature Spring Festival, Christmas, Halloween, and Ghost Festival themes. Additionally, a large figure bowl and chopsticks set will be launched on September 20, including Christmas and Halloween versions.

In addition, City Café has also collaborated across fashion industries. Following previous partnerships with the Golden Horse Film Festival, Nie Yongzhen, and Xiao Qingyang, this year it teams up with an international Chinese fashion designer to launch a new New York-themed series: the “Explore New York City Cup.”

The “Explore New York City Cup” features five newly designed cups, all inspired by iconic New York landmarks, including “Times Square,” “Yankee Stadium,” “Central Park,” “Coney Island,” and “Broadway.” There are also two cup sleeves: “New York Skyline” and “New York Taxi.” With bold strokes and color-blocking, they capture the vibe of New Yorkers. The new series officially launches on September 13 and will be available for a limited time of only four weeks, while supplies last.
