Crunchyroll, the global anime brand fueling fandom, has partnered with professional wrestler and anime super-fan Mercedes Moné to launch a limited-edition merchandise collection, blending anime and wrestling’s non-stop action and larger-than-life energy.
The collection is available for purchase today exclusively through the Crunchyroll Store and for purchase live in-person this Friday and Saturday at Starrcast Texas, the world’s biggest professional wrestling fan convention featuring merchandise, stage shows, meet-and-greets, and panel discussions on major moments in wrestling history. Fans of Mercedes Moné hoping that she emerges from her AEW All In match as the Women’s World Champion are encouraged to cheer her on with one (or more!) items from her collection. The product line will also be available at Crunchyroll Anime FanFest at the Rady Shell at San Diego Comic Con on July 25 and July 26. In celebration of Mercedes’ position as “The CEO,” a portion of the proceeds from this collection will be donated to Step Up, the mentorship nonprofit that guides girls to their success. The collection will be available for sale in the United States, Canada, and Europe later this month.
“This collection represents how I envision myself as an anime hero, and I’m excited for fans to see not only that, but how much anime influences my everyday life,” said Moné. “I remember being four or five years old, staying up late and not really having a concept of time besides knowing that Sailor Moon aired at sunrise. Anime has helped me find my inner superpower.”
“From the mainstage of the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards to the wrestling ring on primetime, Mercedes Moné doesn’t shy away from a challenge or from sharing her love of anime. We hope this new collection will inspire anime fans everywhere to take control of their destiny and channel their inner hero,” said Terry Li, Executive Vice President of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll.
