Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away is celebrating its 20th anniversary and has commemorated the special year by releasing novelty items from the film. The most recent release features the No Face sensor light and the Kashira piggy banks.
The No Face sensor light features the character holding a red lantern that glows when it senses a person that is nearby. The red lantern is interactive and can be removed from the figure. It will only light up when held by No Face, adding a sense of wonder and magic to the product. In addition, the Kashira piggy banks are stackable, just like the characters in the film.
Fans will be excited to know that these are not the only novelty items Studio Ghibli has released this year from the film, as the Hopping Lantern lamp and the No Face piggy bank are also available for purchase.
