Chinese Exclusive Cards For The Bandai Card Games
The Chinese community is getting some extra love. Bandai is releasing exclusive alternative art cards to the Chinese version. You can only find them in China or Ebay from stores that are located in China. These Chinese exclusive cards have unique art style to them. We need to see if Bandai will release these cards in English version. If you are just a collector the Chinese version might be just sufficient for you and you might just not need the English version. Or you are a “I want it all kind of a person”.
Chinese Exclusive New Year One Piece Alternative Art Cards
First of they have been releasing Chinese new year promo cards for the One Piece card game. These Chinese promos are Zoro which is the second one released this year 2024. Promo Luffy was the first Chinese new year released 2023. The art is as you can see the characters are eating and celebrating the new year.
This specific art might not come to the English version. We need to have something to celebrate, what can English version celebrate that can justify Luffy eating that big stake?.
Still the special arts seems to be something they do now every Chinese new year. However, if you look the characters do also celebrate the Chinese new year. There might be a new one next year, do you have any guesses on what character will be next celebrating the Chinese new year?
