Since its broadcast debut in 1973, the early childhood education program series "Ponkickies" has been beloved by many generations. Now, the popular characters "Gachapin and Mukku," who were born from the series' inception in "Hirake! Ponkickies" and continue to expand their activities today, are appearing in a triple collaboration item with the outdoor brand "Columbia" and "FREAK'S STORE"!

Based on Columbia's proud archive graphics, these items fuse playful designs together.

Among the graphics featuring neatly arranged lures—a symbol of the brand—Gachapin and Mukku are quietly hidden, or depicted in adorable scenes enjoying hiking and parachuting. The result is a finish that perfectly matches the outdoor worldview with the charm of the characters!
