Action game “Pikmin 4” for Nintendo Switch is about to be released on July 21st. This is the 4th game in the series, following “Pikmin”, which was released for the GameCube in 2001. Even those who have never played “Pikmin” may remember the commercial that starts with “I was pulled out”.
Speaking of the “Pikmin” series, one of the charms is the indescribable cuteness of the mysterious creature Pikmin, which is also the title. A new type of Pikmin will also appear in this “Pikmin 4”, and among them is the Ice Pikmin. Ice Pikmin has the ability to freeze enemy primitive creatures to stop them from moving, freeze soft obstacles to make them easier to destroy, and freeze to create scaffolding when thrown on the surface of water.
Goods that can reproduce such ice Pikmin with ice will be released on July 18th by Takarajimasha “Pikmin 4 Ice Pikmin making ice machine & cup set BOOK”. This time, Takarajimasha provided us with the “Pikmin 4 Ice Pikmin Ice Maker & Cup Set BOOK”, and we were able to experience it before the release, so we will deliver a photo report.
The package design also appeals to the ice Pikmin, which is cute on the side and back.

Bring cool ice Pikmin to your home!
The contents include a leaflet, a polycarbonate glass with the Pikmin 4 logo and four Pikmin drawn on it, and a silicon ice machine that can make ice Pikmin.
I have a set like this.
The glass is a cool blue with a uniform pattern, and the appearance is full of coolness and cuteness. The size of the glass is 8.8 cm high and 7.8 cm in diameter, making it easy to use for everyone from adults to small children who can use a cup.
The pattern on the cup has the Pikmin 4 logo, red, blue, yellow, ice Pikmin, and small leaves and flowers.
The silicon ice maker is divided into a front and a back, and the two can be combined so that liquids such as water can be poured through the holes on the back side. If the unevenness is firmly combined when combining the front and back, liquid will not overflow from the joint even if it is poured. However, since there is an air hole on the back that allows air to escape separately from the spout, if you pour the liquid vigorously from the spout, the liquid will spurt out from the air hole vigorously when it is full, so be careful. is.
The inside of the silicone is a cute ice Pikmin mold. The outside of the silicone has feet for stability and a liquid spout. put in.If you put it in vigorously, the liquid will squirt out from the air hole under it, so it seems better to pour it slowly.
After adding the liquid, put it in the freezer and wait until it freezes completely to complete the “Ice Pikmin” ice. When removing the completed Ice Pikmin, slowly peel it off from the peeler on the front side, and the Ice Pikmin will appear neatly. The size of the ice Pikmin that can be made with this ice machine is about 12 cm x 7 cm, which is the size of an adult’s palm. It’s a little big compared to the size of Pikmin in the game, but it’s very cute. It’s so cute that you want to display it as it is, but it’s ice so it’s a bit sad that it melts.
Ice Pikmin made by freezing water.If you put the drink in a cute cup about 1/3 of the size of the drink, if you put the drink in just above the logo where you can see the face, it will overflow when you put the ice Pikmin in, so be careful.
Of course, the color of the ice Pikmin will change depending on the color of the liquid you pour into it. It’s fun to put not only water but also your favorite liquid and freeze it. Also, in addition to making ice by putting liquid in it, it would be nice to use it as a mold for gummies, jelly, etc. There is no doubt that it will be an item that will make you enjoy this summer even more.
Ice Pikmin made by freezing Calpis The high sugar content makes it a little brittle, but if you put it in a cup as it is, it’s ice Pikmin Calpis that won’t dilute.
This product will be sold on the Takarajimasha page and at FamilyMart stores nationwide (excluding some stores). However, it is currently sold out on the Takarajimasha page, so if you see it at FamilyMart, please pick it up. It’s a product that can be enjoyed alone or with the family, so I definitely recommend trying to bring Ice Pikmin into your life.
