Sure, Summer has already came and gone, and Kyoto Animation’s Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club may have already concluded its run on Japanese television. But if you think that will stop anime merchandise makers from churning out character goods based on the popular 2013 Summer anime series, think again!
Here are some of the Free! character goods you’ll be able to find on sale in Japan beginning late October or early November at the following retail chains: 1to7, Animate, Animaga, and Mandarake.
Free! Kuji (lottery)
Officially available in stores on October 30, although an event on October 26 will carry the items. 600 yen per go.
A prize: Long cushion cover (45cm x 90cm), available in 5 designs

C prize: B2 half/A2 full-sized bath posters, available in 11 designs
D prize: Strap, available in 15 designs
E prize: Bromide/photograph set of 10
Last prize: Big cushion (45cm x 55cm)
You’re guaranteed to win one of the above prizes every time you participate in the Free! Kuji lottery at a store (subject to prize availability). Certain lots may also net you an additional bonus prize – a telephone card.
