The new collab artwork features chibi-style illustrations of the characters in formal attire \u2014 a delightfully unexpected styling choice that gives even the Phantom Troupe an oddly endearing charm. The Heaven&#8217;s Arena arc means Kurapika&#8217;s Nen abilities get their moment in the spotlight, while the Phantom Troupe arc brings Chrollo Lucilfer and his crew front and centre.<\/p>\n<h2>Collab Menu and Items<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hxh-gindako-danran-pack-box.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hunter x Hunter Gindako danran pack 24-piece box with collab artwork\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>The Danran Pack (24 pcs) comes in a special collab box \u2014 and includes a Phantom Troupe clear file.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The full collab lineup includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Collab Takoyaki (8 pcs)<\/strong> \u2014 standard octopus takoyaki in a special HUNTER\u00d7HUNTER sleeve, paired with an exclusive collab card<\/li>\n<li><strong>Danran Pack (24 pcs)<\/strong> \u2014 the large shareable box dressed in HUNTER\u00d7HUNTER collab artwork, and comes with a <strong>Phantom Troupe clear file<\/strong> featuring Machi, Chrollo, and Uvogin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Croissant Taiyaki Box (6 pcs)<\/strong> \u2014 Gindako&#8217;s croissant taiyaki in collab packaging<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Drink Set<\/strong> \u2014 the standout item of the collab (see below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Star Item: Water Divination Card<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hxh-gindako-special-drink-set.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hunter x Hunter Gindako special drink set showing paper cup, sticker and Water Divination Card\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>The Special Drink Set includes the original paper cup, a collab sticker, and the Water Divination Card (\u6c34\u898b\u5f0f\u30ab\u30fc\u30c9) that reveals your Nen type when submerged in water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Special Drink Set is the collab&#8217;s headline item for HxH fans.
