2026 Kakawow Phantom Tom and Jerry Trading cards

Tom and Jerry is a universally recognized animated feature in the history of entertainment. Since its debut in 1940, the series has run for 86 years across theatrical shorts, television, feature films, and streaming, entertaining generations of audiences in virtually every country on earth. The characters require no introduction in any market. Tom’s relentless pursuit and Jerry’s resourceful escape are a shorthand for comedy.

The artistic approach in this set distinguishes it immediately from a standard licensed product. Rather than reproducing existing artwork, KAKAWOW has reimagined Tom and Jerry through a lens of fantasy world-building and classical Chinese aesthetics — drawing inspiration from poetry, literary tradition, and fine art. The Chinese-Style Cards (#/66) and Fortune and a Growing Family Cards (#/6) are wholly original creations within the Tom and Jerry universe, existing nowhere else in the brand’s merchandise history. This approach creates genuine collectible exclusivity: cards that cannot be found in any other format, produced in any other product, or replicated outside of this specific set. For collectors in markets with deep appreciation for classical Chinese artistic traditions, this design philosophy elevates the product from a licensed card set to a genuine work of collectible art.

The card content is built for serious collectors. Three distinct 1-of-1 Ultimashining Cards feature Tom, Jerry, and Toodles Galore in cross-version insertions spread across the full print run of 500 cases making each card a globally unique object with immediate secondary market significance. Three Script Art Card-Ultimashining 1/1 cards mirror that structure for the script art format. The Black Card tier delivers a black refractive parallel version of each of the 5 base cards, every one unique worldwide. Beyond the ultra-rares, the hit structure provides consistent box and case value at every tier: numbered artwork cards including Versatile Partners (#/100), Happy Imprint (#/45), Orange (#/50), Green (#/20), Gold (#/10), and the exceptionally rare Happy Dual Script Art Card (#/3). Every box is guaranteed 1–4 numbered cards, and every case is guaranteed one numbered artwork card.
