Puzzle making company Yanoman produced a new line of Kingdom Hearts puzzles that have been made with cold foil printing, giving the illustrations by series creator Tetsuya Nomura a metallic shine that makes the puzzle pieces more vibrant. The puzzles are available for purchase from Yanoman's website for 1,650 (~$11 USD).
Yanoman has created three different petite puzzles based on the iconic artwork from Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+. Each petite puzzle is 16.5 x 21.5 cm in size and is comprised of 300 pieces. Yanoman describes the puzzle as being easy to put together, and that its small size makes it easy to display on a table top after it has been assembled.

Yanoman has been around since 1954 as a miscellaneous goods exporter to the United States and Middle East, but shifted its operations in 1973 when they began to focus on importing puzzles during an era when the Mona Lisa painting was popular in Japan. The company decided to begin producing their own puzzles and toys after gaining a passion for them, and over the years the company has worked with major brands and franchises like Disney, Minions, Moomin, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cased Closed, and beyond.
Kingdom Hearts has received a number of new pieces of merchandise recently, including a brand new light-up Keyblade based on the Kingdom Key D, a line of clothing and apparel by Graniph, Jacquard bags and backpacks, and the long-awaited Sora Amiibo which releases on February 16, 2024.
Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link is currently in development for iOS and Android, and is set to release in 2024. The Android beta test is planned to begin sometime in January 2024. Kingdom Hearts 4 is also currently in development.
The three Yanoman puzzles are currently available for purchase.
