This Week in Kendama: 17 New Drops, 32 Restocks (Aug 22-28, 2026)
Seventeen new kendama drops hit shops between August 22 and 28, 2026, spread across five makers. Thirty-two products restocked in the same window. Nine of this week's new drops were already sold out by the time we checked, according to the DAMA PIG tracker. Right now only 16.0% of complete kendamas tracked site-wide are actually in stock.
Occult Kendamas is the headline. All six of their new drops, five Kosmic Ken tamas plus the Originz x Kosmic Kens collab, sold out. That is every single new Occult product gone before this post went up.
New This Week
Cereal Kendama
Cereal Kendama dropped six models this week, sold through Kendama Senses. All six are still in stock:

Two paint jobs (Matcha Berry, Sea Salt Ube) come in both a base version and a shape-upgraded version at nearly double the price. That is the pattern with Cereal's Run One line this week.
Grain Theory
Grain Theory kept it simple with two drops. The GT Kendama Passport runs $5.99, one of the cheapest new items tracked all week. The GT-3 Raw Maple Sword is $33.33, unfinished raw maple. Both are still in stock.
Occult Kendamas
Occult Kendamas launched six new models and lost all six by the time we logged them:

The Originz collab at $120.00 is the priciest new drop of the week across every maker tracked.
Sweets Kendamas
Sweets Kendamas put out one new model, the Nate Wilcox Pro Mod Knockout Shape at $64.99. It sold out.
Winner Kendamas
Winner Kendamas added two gecko paint tamas this week: Black Rock and Blue Ore, both $45.00 tama-only, both sold out.
Restocks
Thirty-two products came back in stock this week. Winner Kendamas led with 9 restocks, followed by Cereal Kendama (6), KROM Kendama (6), Sweets Kendamas (6), and Erratic Squirrel (1).
KROM Kendama's restocks held up best. The LAMBO KEN ($40.00), SCAGS OG MOD "MAGNOLIA" ($60.00), SLAYDAWG 4 KEN ($40.00), and all three STROGO NEAPOLITAN flavors ($40.00 each) are all still available.
Most of Cereal Kendama's restocks sold out again fast: Grape Fade - Trinity Shape ($46.00), Hamon (Ginn Mod) - Trinity Shape ($52.00), Mystery 2 Kendama Pack ($85.00), Retro - Rethink Shape ($49.00), Sunrise Fade - Ascent Shape ($48.00), and UNO Mod 2026 - Trinity Shape ($52.00) are all gone again.
Sweets Kendamas split down the middle. The Grain Split - Veggie ($26.99) and Sweets Radar - Red ($26.99) are still buyable. All three SWEETS STARTER colorways (Pink, Red, White, $29.99 each) and the OZORA - MATTE ($34.99) restocked and sold out again.
Winner Kendamas' 9 restocks were mostly gecko paint tamas. Bamboo Coast ($43.00), Bamboo Deep Sea ($43.00), and Red Cherry ($43.00) are still in stock. Bamboo Rasta, Purple Haze, both Graffiti pre-orders, and the Blue Ore restock all sold out again.
Two single-brand restocks worth noting: Erratic Squirrel's Kitchen Complete Set-up ($39.99) restocked and sold out again, and Lotus Kendamas' Flow Kendama ($55.00) is back and still available.
Already Gone
Nine of this week's 17 new drops sold out before this report:
- All 6 Occult Kendamas models (Kosmic Ken #1-5, Originz x Kosmic Kens)
- Sweets Kendamas Nate Wilcox Pro Mod Knockout Shape
- Winner Kendamas Gecko Paint Black Rock tama
- Winner Kendamas Gecko Paint Blue Ore tama
That is a 53% sellout rate on this week's new releases.
Leaderboard: Most Active Makers
| Maker | New Models | Restocks |
|---|---|---|
| Cereal Kendama | 6 | 6 |
| Occult Kendamas | 6 | 0 |
| Winner Kendamas | 2 | 9 |
| Grain Theory | 2 | 0 |
| Sweets Kendamas | 1 | 6 |

Cereal Kendama is the only maker that shows up big on both sides of the ledger this week, 6 new models and 6 restocks. Occult Kendamas put up the same new-model count but zero restocks, and every one of those new models is gone.
What to Watch
Winner Kendamas has two pre-order gecko paint colorways (Blue Graffiti, Purple Graffiti) that restocked and sold out again this week. Worth checking back on those. Occult Kendamas selling out 6 for 6 on launch suggests any restock there won't last long either.
Drop counts in this report are distinct models: colorways count separately, but pack sizes, complete/ken/tama formats, and wood options of one design collapse into a single count. Numbers come from the DAMA PIG tracker, which polls every kendama shop we know.
