Dragon Warrior’s Classic ‘Devil’s Vase’ Trash Can Gets a Reboot in 2026 Return

The iconic Mimic garbage can, modeled after the deceptive treasure chest monsters from the Dragon Quest role-playing game series, is scheduled for a commercial rerelease in July 2026, according to gaming culture reporting from Ludens Media.

Originally introduced to fans as a piece of functional room decor replicating the franchise’s famous trap enemy, the item features the distinct gaping maw and protruding tongue that mirror the monster’s appearance in the games. According to Ludens Media, the resurrected merchandise brings back the whimsical design for collectors and fans looking to incorporate gaming memorabilia into their living spaces.

The scheduled July 2026 launch date marks the next official availability window for the replica container, which has previously drawn attention for blending everyday utility with the recognizable fantasy aesthetic of the Square Enix franchise. Retailers have yet to outline specific regional distribution channels or pricing structures for the upcoming summer release.
