Hi, everyone. You might recognize this kind of post, recapping JP updates for International readers who want to plan ahead, which I used to post as a comment on the leaks threads, and then when those dried up, the analysis threads. I was urged to keep it going and make it a full post instead of a comment, so I'm going to try that out and see how it feels.

I also felt that, without the timing constraint of staying on top of the leaks/analysis threads at the start of the month, it made more sense to push this recap to the second half of the month, both a) so the recap is timelier—jumping ahead to the current month for this recap!—and b) since it's a little quieter mid/late-month and I can feel less like I'm stepping on other regular threads' toes.

That said, shall we get into things with a double-sized edition?

Recap of September 2026 in JP:

Event: Wreck-It Ralph: Clear All Games / Ferris Wheel

New tsums of the month: Princess Vanellope, My Hero Ralph, Repairman Felix, Sergeant Calhoun, *Marie+

My thoughts: Could come to us at any time! Among JP fans there was some anticipation as to whether the video game theme might mean the long-missing PAC-MAN and BLINKY could return, but the month passed without them coming back. That doesn't mean anything solid for Int'l either way since we do not get Select Boxes and Pickup Capsules from JP, but it may be a sign not to get our hopes up too high.

Princess Vanellope is the strongest new tsum of the month, but none of them are in the highest tiers. A good month to stockpile your coins.

Recap of October 2026 in JP:

Event: Escape from the Haunted Mansion / Cute Shop: Lantern Shop

New tsums of the month: Nightmare Before Christmas (Set), Dr. Finkelstein, Madame Leota, Constance(Charm), *Dumbo+

My thoughts: Should be coming as our Halloween event next year! And the NBC Set is an extremely high-ranking coin farmer that's going to be worth getting excited about.

Those should still be posted in the monthly LINE ID Thread.

Please be polite when you ask or answer questions!

I am a returning player! I used to play maybe… 10 years ago on international. I am playing the Japanese version this time around because I’ve been studying Japanese for a year or so now & I can read the missions fairly well.

When I played before, these medals didn’t exist. Are the Tsums in the + box worth it…? Can’t I just clean missions with the normal premium Tsums? Just not sure if I should use the medals for the box or if it’s best to be put towards something else.

I pulled a copy of Gaston the other day. My main goals within the game is to get him to a high skill level… as a new player, does anyone have any tips for that? Right now I’m thinking I’ll just stock pile all of my coins for now and use them if he ever comes around in some kind of rate up box… have you guys seen that happen before?

Sorry for all the questions 🤣 it’s been so long since I played and even back then I was a very causal player but now things are serious…

Also shameless plug. If you play JP, I’d love to be heart sending friends! I play daily & will manually send when I play throughout the day! (:

Pretty mid capsule, but we gotta get that skill ticket, right? Evaluations based on [u/MalibuDan](u/MalibuDan) and linked sites! I will update if anyone has interesting info to add!

Sisu is an above average burst clearing Tsum

Rabbit is a rare event reward tsum that is classified as a Happiness tsum. Good for combos but filler for coins.

Elizabeth Swan can be good for long chain missions but is filler for coins.

Bride Rapunzel, Tramp, and King Triton, and are filler

I’m just wondering if anybody got the villains set from the premium box
I’ve tried during lucky time and did not get it
Just wondering if it’s worth trying for

If you happen to have a Tsum with the skill to move magic bubbles, they can really help you clear the bat and pumpkin levels! I am currently using Horn Hat Mickey for the spooky season, but I think there are a few other Tsums with this skill. I think Aurora or a princess might have this skill, too? But I can't recall specifics. With the skill, I wait until I can pop the bubble over 3 or more bats. Or pop a bubble only near the pumpkin whose color I need to change. Obviously this isn't a requirement, but I've found it super helpful and wanted to share. Happy stacking!

I have to get 525 experience points with a bearded tsum? I’m trying genie, triton, Cave of wonders, beast, jafar
Romantic beast I’m using the experience 5/4 and just cannot get it to 525? Any tips I might be missing.

I am doing the Missions for pumpkins etc

But as a guest. My LINE account is not working; how do I get hearts and everything again? Im back at the very beginning; which is what I wanted - but how do I get hearts and I dont mind the ADS to go up a level ... i havent played in so long

Useful utility box! Not great for coins but I regularly use Detective Pooh (Charm) and Owl (Charm) for missions. Got some descriptions and rankings from [u/MalibuDan](u/MalibuDan)

Rainy Day Pooh is a burst clearing tsum that bursts away the bottom of the board in a U-shaped fashion. One tier list has him as a filler while the other puts him just outside the top 100 most coin efficient tsums. My gut says filler tier going forward but it’s worth testing and discussing.

Baseball Pooh is above average with good timing skills.

Detective Pooh (Charm) is filler for coins but useful for big Tsum missions

Owl (Charm) is filler for coins but useful for bubble missions

Piglet (Charm) is a burst clearing Tsum that would play similarly to Rugby Micky, but unfortunately has a “negative coin modifier” so it’s maybe slightly above average, but closer to filler.

Shivering Piglet is often suggested for time bubble missions but filler for coins.

Festival Pooh, Rainy Day Christopher Robin, Gopher, Goodnight Pooh, Lumpy, and Happy Pooh, are filler

Let me know if you have more important information about the filler Tsums, I’ll update as needed!

I opened the game today and rhe update ran and now everything is no longer in English. I have no clue how to fix this, has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix this?

TIA

The highest score I’ve ever gotten is 30 million. I can’t fathom how they did this

I have the halloween card quest to get 1,600 coins in one game and I’m really struggling. Does anyone have any tips/tricks? These are the tsums I have.

Not sure if I’ve worded my question right, but I’m referring to the “accept all” mailbox feature where you have to select hearts and medals. I understand why we would want to accept everything in our mailbox except hearts, so that we can save them for later time and let the hearts generate until then. But what is the advantage of leaving the medals in the mailbox? Just wondering.

hello!! i am very very new to collecting tsum tsums. the other day i saw that a friend of mine had this mini lighting mcqueen (apologies for the bad photo), and I cant find it anywhere online! does anyone know anything about this and where I could purchase it? thank you :)!!

I recently started playing again and was able to get into my old account with my Apple ID, I can’t get into Line and account recovery hasn’t worked either. Will I not be able to trade hearts now?

I used automation nearly 24/7 over the last year and I have finally finished the premium box. I've been playing the game off and on with my wife for almost 10 years. After my account got lost and I had to start over a year ago I decided to try automation to get caught up. It didn't take long for my new account to pass my old one.

I still play manually for fun doing the events, and it's so nice to not stress about coins and hearts now.

I guess now I should work on the Premium Box+, any suggestions?

New Tsums for International! I’ll do my best to describe them based on a couple of websites. Thank you [u/MalibuDan](u/MalibuDan)

Epel Felmier is an above average Tsum, the skill is a complicated Maleficent style Tsum that is above average for coins. It can be good for time bubbles but is pretty inconsistent.

Ortho Shroud is an above average Tsum that clears lines; as the skill level goes up you can clear more lines.

I’ll update with any comments!

I haven't got a coin fairy since like 2020 when I got 250K. Anyways I had a 8.914 coin before boost(x51)

I missed It!

Is anyone able to help me? I changed my name and photo on my line account as I wanted to use a nickname as I’ve started to add people to my friends list. My name and photo haven’t updated in the TsumTsum app? Is there a way I can do this?
