Hello friends! Because the weather is growing colder and colder we have decided to get your blood pumping with a dose of surreal and black humor with a pinch of exciting action! Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is the brainchild of Gainax, developed during the teams relaxing vacation following the Gurren Lagann project, which tells the story of two angels sweetly named Panty and Stocking who were sent to Daten City - which resides on the border between Heaven and Hell - in order to fight evil spirits named Ghosts. They do that by transforming the pieces of their clothing into weapons. The show is definitely raunchy and a lot of fun which is why it has produced some really amazing collectibles that we are here to show you!
