Just came across this on ebay sold by Cardvo, put out by the Line Friends company, which is kids based. Not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Two decks, Family and Jungle Brown.

LINE is the dominant social communication app that’s widely used in East Asian countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Its importance is just like how WhatsApp is to Western countries and WeChat for Chinese people. This deck is based on its popular default sticker characters, hence the theme. Nonetheless, it’s for those who are really into the cartoonish characters, not my cup of coffee 8-)

These decks were released in April in China by Bicycle China...I believe that they are China exclusive released decks and Cardvo sourced them from China.

I'm going to share the coffee with Deckno; like the emoji deck a pass from me as well. Whimsical though and I can see why folks could like/grab them.

Just received these from Cardvolution from Singapore. Due to COVID-19 the shipment took just over a month -- it was held at the ports somewhere for quite some time. But it did arrive safely. I don't know how common this is, but these cards came in really amazing protective plastic sleeves in addition to the usual shrink wrap plastic. It added a bit more protection to the cards during shipment and keeps corners absolutely pristine.

Here are some photos.

Nice to know that cardvo ships with deck sleeves now. I've heard that Henry from socalplayingcards does this aswell. Dunno if it is common practice now though.
