Happy anniversary, Tiger & Bunny fans! It’s been a year since we got sucked into Sternbild. And even though our wallets are suffering, we just don’t want to leave yet… so here’s to another year!
Thanks and thanks again to everyone who sent photos, and a special thanks to Pilar who sent us an amazing header image. It’s been added to our header rotation! \|宜|/
- From Emily. “My favorite T&B things? That would have to be cute heroes doing aibou things, the most natural thing in the world. Cameo by Kenzo which was my first step into buying T&B stuff even if it wasn’t official merchandise. Then the letter and pin from PJA, representing all you amazing T&Bros. Happy Anniversary, and I can’t wait for the movies.”
- From Mineko. “I couldn’t decide between the Figuarts (too bad BBJ didn’t arrive soon enough), gorgeous Katsura Artbook and stuff my fellow fans have sent me, so I just had to compose them in the same pic, in one way or another. Tiger is looking forward to reuniting with his aibou!”
- From TeamKaburagi. “Hi! I’m Kotetsu! The member of Tiger & Bunny who made sure to PreOrder his partner, upon first arriving! What? He’s SOLD OUT?? DAH!”
- From TeamKaburagi. “Kotetsu tries unsuccessfully to convince Darkness Bunny that there is only one true Wild Tiger…”
- From TeamKaburagi. “… except the real reason for focusing on that picture is highlighted further behind H-01.”
- From Gcoon. “I’m a proud Tiger & Bunny shopper, I have figures, books, cd, etc. But of all them, this one is my favorite Tiger & Bunny thing. This one is not an official merchandising, it doesn’t cost me a single cent. But I love it so much, it was really nice when i received it. This one was made by my T&Bro PJA. PJA makes me believe in how nice can be people. Even if they don’t know you, they can trust in you. Thank you for teach me that. Also this pin represents all the nice T&Bros who I met that summer. Sharing nice moment, tears, laughs, pain, etc. I really appreciate PJA and the people who I meet thanks to this anime. I’m really thankful. Thank you everybody, I will never forget you all, this is one of the best fandoms. ありがとうそしてありがとう!ヾ(´・ω・`)”
- From Royale. “It may be cheating, and a bit cheesy, but my favorite thing I’ve gotten through T&B is all of you! Of course my Figuarts are a close second…”
- From derpchan. “I have a ton of merchandise, but in the end choosing was easy. This is stuff that I use every day, and Tiger is helping with the presentation!”
- From Blue_star. “One year together and many more to come!”
- From Laura.
- From Darke Angelus.
- From Michele. “Barnaby may never admit it, but even he is a Wild Tiger fan!” (Cosplayer: Tohma)
- From Хэлкар. “With best wishes from Kiev (Ukraine).”
- From Victoria. “I have so much merchandise but I have to say I sleep with this one every night haha ;D”
- From Mariel.
- From Angela. “It was so hard to choose my favorite T&B merch, but I finally decided on my cozy Wild Tiger shirt. This shirt reminds me of the best summer I ever experienced because of T&B, its characters, and its fun fandom. Happy Anniversary, TIGER&BUNNY!”
- From Amanda. “It was hard to choose, but I picked the ones that actually roam around with me and don’t just sit on my shelf ^-^”
- From shukamu. “First picture: The BEST OF HERO album is the only official T&B merch I have. Usually the high shipping costs discourage me from buying stuff, but I liked the samples I heard so much I decided to buy the album. Best purchase ever. Second picture: Somebody made the rabbit plushies and held a raffle for two of the plushes she made. I was one of the winners, and I’ve had it since the show ended. Everybody in my suite loves him.
- From Nancy. “I just couldn’t choose. Everything is like a treasure to me. Not so much because of the price, but because they were so difficult to catch, and because I love Tiger and Bunny so much! I haven’t been this excited about an anime in a long while and because it was so short, getting Taibani stuff is a way to keep the excitement going. Chibiarts Blue Rose is the most adorable thing ever, The figuarts are so great I’m afraid to take them out of the boxes! It was a very long night of refreshing and waiting that I could get those two. I caught the last remaining headphone set in a store and felt just thrilled… Everything is precious!”
- From Destertale. “I can’t believe it has been a year already! (Sad that the year of the rabbit is over though!)”
- from codeveronica. “These are my favourite T&B Things, S.H. Figuarts! I’m going to collect them all…but…no more place on my shelf…ç_ç”
- From Anonymous. “This is the collection of fanmade swag I bought at New York Comic Con this October (minus a few posters). If forced to pick, the pair of Kotetsu & Barnaby charms in the top right would have to be my fave. I attach them to my 3DS!”
- From Alex. “I like the T&B Figuarts a lot, but my favorite T&B thing would probably be unattainable for the next 20-30 years: an actual, fully functional Wild Tiger suit ;_; “
- From Mary. “I just recently got into Tiger & Bunny (got a friend who got a friend also into T&B), so I don’t have to much in the way of merchandise, but here is a few pics of what I have. The first pic is a poster from the March issue of Shonen Jump magazine they had a spread on T&B, the second pic is the Hero Fan Book volume 2, and the last 3 pics are from the limited edition art book with the Wild Tiger figure and poster. I would so love to get the Kotetsu and Barnaby plushies but the are way too expensive for me. I am going to a anime convention in May so I hope the dealers room has some T&B stuff.”
- From Kitarin & BL-chan. “There was no way we could make up our minds, so have a few of our favorite things~! <3"
- From Gjork. “Everything related to T&B brings hapiness to me, there’s no way to choose just one.”
- From Mengsi. “Heard the voice of Thanatos <3"
- From Dark Kurayami. “Has it really been a year? Wow! I do also have the calendar and planner, but I only remembered after I finished and uploaded this. This doesn’t include other things still in preorder waiting (Oji-san, Barnaby, Kotetsu cake figure?, and Deformeisters Petit(various))…xD Wow, a year since it all started. x3”
- From MeisterGao. “Would had attached my home-made bunny plush but the cats were sleeping on it! The burnt banner was made by a friend of mine and I keep it safe! My favorite item has yet to be finished, but my Kurayami who is visiting said they will bring it with them when they visit! (It’s the Lunatic tie ❤ )"
- From Emily. “My boyfriend got me the chibi figures of Keith and Pao-lin, my two favorite characters. It was one of the best birthday presents I have received.”
- From Karina. “forgot the CDs *cries*”
- From Cindi. “Happy Anniversary T&B!”
- From Eri. “I own a lot of merchandising, but those are special. War after war, people all around the world fought for them. Count-downs, sites crashing for overbooking, lag, 1-minute-out-of-stock… Now, I’m really proud to say that I am a survivor! And wish everybody the same luck from beyond!!”
- From Sunny A. “This call bracelet is my lucky charm. The first time I wore it, it actually got stuck on my wrist! But I’ve worn it at least twice every week, especially on test days in college… I feel just that much braver with it on. I never thought one small present could have that much of a positive effect on me, but it did. It glows in blacklights!”
- From Wolff. “My shrine. I have dedicated this corner of my room to Tiger&Bunny and it shall remain that way until the end of times.”
- From Aki_the_geek. “The pictured items will probably always be my favourite pieces of anime merchandise ever – because they’re gifts from my wonderful T&Bros and always remind me of our great fandom. Rock on, guys!”

So many figuarts.
Some were very creative even. xP
I think it’s more entertaining that our Photos are right after one another’s….
That’s quite a coincidence! I put the photos in a random order, not the order they arrived in.
It is quite a coincidence, still entertaining since that was the Kurayami I was referring to.
That’s what I figured.
Happy anniversary Tiger & Bunny! 😀 There is so much awesome T&B stuff!
I really wish I could’ve participated in this but I’ve recently moved to Japan and all of my T&B merchandise had to be left behind at home because I didn’t want to risk having it damaged by bringing it with me. T_T
Oh you’re there now? Think of it this way: you get to be on the frontline now and you can get your hands on a lot of stuff that is hard to acquire from abroad… ^^
Oh the joys of being a Tiger & Bunny fan :3 Only TB fans will truly know how remarkable the experience is of being obsessed with one of the greatest animes of our generation.
And only we know what obstacles people have suffered in getting all those Figuarts. ^^
