Lotte World Adventure is launching a food menu and merchandise featuring characters from the 'Junji Ito Collection.' These products are tied to the autumn festival 'Invitation to the Strange World' and incorporate the characteristics of original characters like Tomie and Soichi.
Among the menu items, the 'Tomie's Division Syringe Aid' stands out. Customers can squeeze syrup from a syringe-shaped container into their drink, reflecting Tomie's theme of constant division.
Soichi's nails, which he carries in his mouth, are recreated in the 'Soichi Sundae' with chocolate. The dessert features chocolate-shaped nails atop ice cream drizzled with chocolate syrup.
A limited quantity of cookie sets will be available, featuring key visuals drawn by Junji Ito himself. Each cookie is individually stamped with character designs, enhancing their collectible value.
Among the merchandise is a gacha product called 'Junji Ito Collection Random Sound Keycap Keyring,' which features one of four characters: Tomie, Soichi, the Boy at the Intersection, or Oshigiri. Pressing the keycap produces sound effects.
Tomie also has a dedicated merchandise line, reflecting her popularity among fans in South Korea. This includes a 'Tomie Doll Keyring' and a 'Tomie Charm School Bag' adorned with a Tomie doll charm.
Tomie and Soichi make their appearance from the entrance to Magic Island. The escalator leading to Magic Island is decorated with Soichi's face and strange patterns, creating an atmosphere that suggests a playful trick by Soichi.
The main bridge features Tomie surrounded by rose vines. Scenes from 'The Doll's House,' depicting a family living like dolls with threads hanging from the ceiling, and 'The Boy at the Intersection,' featuring a boy who captivates girls, are also represented here.
The third floor of Magic Castle is divided into themed spaces for each episode, creating immersive photo zones. Backgrounds include 'The Painter,' where an artist obsessed with ideal beauty descends into madness, 'Soichi's Curse Diary,' featuring a boy who spreads curses, and 'Snail Girl,' where a girl transforms into a snail. The photo zones are open daily from 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
Behind Magic Castle, visitors can find 'Junji Ito Photo Street,' a collage featuring original characters like Tomie, Soichi, and Fuchi.
