Now, Square Enix has uploaded new Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary merchandise on the official online store, with many already available for preorder.
The 20th anniversary event of Kingdom Hearts was clearly highly-anticipated by the RPG’s fans. And Square Enix did not disappoint the community.

This includes new 20th anniversary KH merchandise that can now be found on the Square Enix store.
On the official website, a variety of new products have opened preorders as a way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts. Among the new merchandise, Play Arts Kai figures of Sora, Riku, and Kairi in their Kingdom Hearts 3 regalia can be preordered by fans. Interested customers may also notice that included in the Play Arts Kai lineup is a figure of Namine, which fans will likely recall as Kairi’s Nobody.

Square Enix is also offering plushies of Roxas, Namine, the Kingdom Hearts 2 versions of Sora and Riku, and Sora in his Halloween town outfits. The plushies will cost fans $49.99 USD each. Other 20th anniversary merchandise include Kingdom Hearts jewelry, home products such as an elaborate plate collection, as well as small items such as an enamel pin, keychain, pin badge, and a bag with Mickey Mouse and Sora plushies. Though some bigger items may be priced higher, more affordable products are available for fans who are on a limited budget.
The new Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary items seem like just the beginning of the festivities. With the rest of 2022 celebrating the franchise’s milestone, Square Enix will likely announce more events, merchandise, and information for the whole fanbase to enjoy. Hopefully this includes the timeline for release of Kingdom Hearts 4 as well.
