The round mound of pink pound and hero of Dream Land Kirby is usually known for inhaling things to get a powerup, but this time he's looking to put a barrier over mouths with a new character mask released by Bandai.

The antibacterial masks, which have an inner gauze cushion, are washable and have a filter for easy breathing. The masks are also equipped with longer straps so as to not tug on the ears. They come in both pink and purple with different designs.

The purple version sports Kirby, as well as the Maxim Tomato and Star Rod, while the pink features just Kirby himself.

Both are available for order from Premium Bandai for 1,650 yen, which also has an international order service.
