ANIMAL CROSSING - Island Welcome - Mug Heat Change 460ml

This large, high-quality mug, designed by specialist brand ABYstyle, celebrates the warm, colourful and idyllic world of Nintendo’s famous life simulation game: Animal Crossing.

The mug boasts a generous 460 ml capacity (King Size), making it the ideal vessel for enjoying your favourite hot drinks during long gaming sessions. Its magical feature lies in its high-end thermo-reactive printing process. At room temperature, the mug displays a subtle initial design, featuring the official logo and the dark silhouettes of the iconic characters against a themed background. As soon as you pour a hot liquid into it (coffee, tea or hot chocolate), the design instantly changes colour and lights up to reveal the full, high-definition illustration: a magnificent landscape of a radiant blue sky and lush vegetation, featuring Tom Nook, Marie (Isabelle) and the twins Méli and Mélo. Made from sturdy, high-density ceramic, this product offers an excellent grip. To preserve the effectiveness of the thermal coating and the vibrancy of the ‘magic’ pigments over the long term, this item is not suitable for use in the microwave or dishwasher, and requires gentle hand washing.

This officially licensed merchandise is the perfect choice for passionate virtual villagers, fans of Japanese-inspired ‘kawaii’ kitchen accessories, and collectors of the Nintendo universe. The item is delivered safely inside a protective cardboard box.

In Nintendo’s hit video game franchise *Animal Crossing*, and particularly in the *New Horizons* instalment, the player leaves behind the monotony of city life to settle on a paradise-like desert island thanks to the bespoke escape package offered by Nook Inc. Welcomed by businessman Tom Nook and his nephews Méli and Mélo, and later supported by the adorable and devoted secretary Marie, the player is appointed Island Representative. Their mission is to shape the island of their dreams by gathering resources, crafting their own tools (a DIY concept), setting up shops and inviting new, eccentric anthropomorphic animal residents. This mug perfectly captures the game’s warm and relaxing atmosphere, bringing to life the gentle way of life and the warm welcome of this unique virtual community with every coffee break.
