Balatro 2026 Jimbo Calendar: Fangamer, LocalThunk, and PlayStack Unite for Charity

Balatro 2026 Jimbo Calendar: Fangamer, LocalThunk, and PlayStack Unite for Charity Fangamer, a leading name in video game merchandise, has teamed up with developer LocalThunk and publisher PlayStack to unveil an exclusive 2026 calendar celebrating Balatro’s beloved mascot, Jimbo.

This limited-edition calendar, set to delight fans across the Nintendo Switch and wider gaming community, stars none other than acclaimed voice actor Ben Starr, best known for his work as Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, Dycedarg Beoulve in Final Fantasy Tactics, and Prometheus in Hades II.

Starr first charmed fans as Jimbo in a widely shared Balatro trailer, and now steps fully into the role for this unique collectible. Each of the 13 months featured on the calendar showcases Ben Starr costumed as Jimbo, bringing festive cheer across a variety of holidays — from Valentine’s Day to Halloween, Egg Day, and more.

The calendar is available through Fangamer’s official storefront for €20 or $19 USD (plus shipping and regional tax), making it an accessible gift for both collectors and fans of Balatro’s quirky world. In a statement outlining the collaboration, representatives from Fangamer, LocalThunk, and PlayStack confirmed that all profits from the calendar sales will be donated equally between two prominent charity organizations: Extra Life and SpecialEffect.

Extra Life organizes gaming marathons in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, empowering streamers and players worldwide to raise funds for critical pediatric care.

SpecialEffect, founded in 2007, transforms lives by enabling gamers with physical disabilities to experience the joys of play through innovative technology and personalized support. "We were thrilled to see how much the fanbase enjoys the character of Jimbo and Ben Starr’s portrayal," the companies collectively shared in a recent release.

"Creating this calendar not only celebrates that spirit but also channels it into a tangible benefit for two truly meaningful causes." Since its release, Balatro has found notable success on platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and PC, praised for its engaging mechanics and playful style.

This latest initiative exemplifies the growing influence of charity campaigns in the gaming community, further cementing Balatro’s status as both a commercial and cultural phenomenon. The Balatro 2026 wall calendar is a standout addition to any fan’s collection, combining humor, creativity, and a direct contribution to positive change in the gaming world.
