Anime Metal Cards Every Fandom Lion Card Carries

Same payment. Different statement. An anime metal card takes the character you already carry on a phone case, a poster, or a shelf and puts them on the one object you reach for ten times a day. Your real debit or credit card, re-engineered into 28 grams of stainless steel or brass with fan-favorite art on the face. Same account. Same chip. Same bank. Only the weight and the look change.

Here is every fandom category available, how the conversion works, which finish suits which art style, and how to order yours.

Your Favorite Character, On the Card You Carry Daily

A card you touch constantly should say something about you. Fandom presets turn that everyday object into something recognizably yours, and they do it on real metal, not a skin, not a sticker, not a wrap. Sixteen engraved anime presets, and a growing UV color lineup mean the design you want already sits on the same patented conversion (U.S. Patent No. 11,562,194) that has served over 50,000 customers since 2015.

What Fandom Categories Lion Card Carries

The preset engraved collection organizes over 100 designs into nine filtered categories. The fandom-facing ones worth knowing:

• Anime. Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Pain, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Hello Kitty, Initial D, and more. A Naruto metal card or a full Jujutsu Kaisen panel, laser-cut into steel.
• Games. Street Fighter: Ryu vs. Ken, Yu-Gi-Oh! Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician, Exodia, Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle. If you have ever wanted a Pokémon metal card in your wallet, it exists here.
• Movies. Pop-culture film designs engraved with the same precision as the anime line.

The UV color collection adds full-color options: a Demon Slayer metal card with the original palette intact, a Charizard in full flame, Fishing Totoro, Labubu presets, and dozens more. Both collections share the same card specs and patented chip transfer, so the choice is art style, not function.

Real Card, Fan-Favorite Art

Every design, from a custom anime card you upload yourself to a preset Pikachu engraving, sits on top of the same re-engineered card.

• 28 grams of stainless steel or brass, 0.8mm thick, 85.60mm by 53.98mm
• Your real EMV chip and magnetic stripe, transferred intact via patented process
• Your original card returned alongside the new metal one
• A mockup emailed for your approval before production starts
• Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original card did

A standard plastic card weighs about 6 grams. Yours weighs 28. That is the difference people notice when you hand it over at checkout.

Engraved vs. UV Color for Character Art

Choosing a finish depends on what your fandom art needs.

A Naruto metal card engraved into brushed steel carries an entirely different energy than a full-color Demon Slayer metal card scene printed in UV. Both are real metal, same chip, same account. The art decides the finish.

Spotlight on the Labubu Trend

One fandom design earned its own deep-dive. Labubu started as a blind-box toy by artist Kasing Lung, went viral after celebrity sightings in 2024, and became one of the most requested custom card designs in the full-color lineup. Twelve preset Labubu UV color cards are available now. The trend proved that when a character hits culturally, the wallet follows.

How to Order Your Fandom Card

The process runs the same whether you pick a preset anime metal card or upload your own art.

• Browse and order. Choose from the anime engraved presets, the full-color collection, or design your own custom anime card. Custom uploads go through a design review, and any rights-restricted image is flagged up front with an alternative.
• Ship your card in. A prepaid, tracked label arrives by email. Freeze your card or send one with a zero balance for peace of mind. Lion Card never asks for your PIN, SSN, or any password.
• Approve the mockup. A photo mockup lands in your inbox before production starts.
• Receive both cards. Your original and the finished metal card ship back together, tracked the whole way. Conversion runs 1 to 2 business days once your card arrives.

The Bottom Line

A fandom card should look like the real thing and work like the real thing. Every anime metal card in the lineup carries your actual chip and account inside 28 grams of steel or brass, with art that is cut or printed to last. Presets cover Naruto, Pokemon, Demon Slayer, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more, and the custom route opens up everything else.

Browse the full collection and carry your fandom daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a custom fan-art design not in the preset list?

Yes, through the custom design route using high-resolution artwork. The design team reviews every upload and flags any rights-restricted image with an alternative before production. You approve a mockup so nothing goes to print without your sign-off.

Do fandom designs cost more than standard cards?

Pricing varies by collection and finish. Engraved presets and UV color presets each carry their own set price, visible on the specific collection page. Check the listing for the design you want, since pricing is confirmed at checkout.

Will the character art wear off with daily use?

Engraved designs are cut into the metal itself, so no layer peels or fades. UV color prints are cured onto the surface, not a sticker or wrap, and are built for daily carry. A dedicated wallet slot away from keys and coins keeps either finish looking new the longest.

Does an anime card change how the card works?

No. Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original card worked. You tap through Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay since the metal card itself does not support tap-to-pay. Avoid ATMs or terminals that pull the card fully inside, and use a mobile wallet or an exposed-card reader instead.

How long does it take to get a fandom metal card?

Conversion runs 1 to 2 business days after your card arrives. Domestic orders typically land back in your hands within 5 to 7 business days total, and international orders within 10 to 14 business days. Turnaround can vary slightly during high-demand drops, so order early if you are working to a deadline.

Is it safe to mail my card in?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI compliant, BBB A+ accredited, and guarantees a safe process or your money back. Freeze your card or send a zero-balance card before mailing, and all card data is permanently deleted once the order is complete. Lion Card never asks for your PIN, SSN, banking password, or any passcode.
