Megahouse will release a new toy based on Hanako of the Toilet, a popular Japanese urban legend. It’ll come out in early August 2024.
The toy is called “Dokkiri Hanako of the Toilet,” and it’s quite similar to toys like Pop Up Pirate. Each player will take turns pulling down the lever of the toilet. Depending on your luck, something will pop out of the toilet on your turn. Items that will pop out are a bug, toilet paper, or Hanako herself. This toy will not require any batteries and will cost 3278 JPY ($22.70).
Hanako of the Toilet, or Hanako-san, is a very famous urban legend that pretty much everyone in Japan knows about. There are various backstories for Hanako depending on the version you hear. But in general, she’s a young girl named Hanako who haunts school toilets. Like with Bloody Mary, some children may try to summon Hanako-san as a dare or a game. Because of her popularity and ubiquity, many Japanese properties feature Hanako-san as a character, or base a character off her. Examples include Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun and Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II.
The Hanako of the Toilet toy will come out some time in early August 2024. So it should be out some time soon.
