Studio Ghibli Blind Box Unboxing

What is a Blind Box? π
If you’re new to the concept, a blind box is basically a mystery box—you don’t know which figure or collectible you’ll get until you open it. Think of it as the Ghibli version of a surprise party.
π Pro tip: Blind boxes are highly collectible in Japan. Many fans trade figures after unboxing to complete their collections—so if you don’t get the one you wanted, there’s always hope!
