Bandai’s Samurai Star Wars Figures Have Gotten Even Better

Bandai’s “Movie Realisation” Star Wars figures—which take the Empire and turn them into ancient samurai with flintlocks and katanas rather than blasters and lightsabers—are fantastic. But now the line’s got a few more additions that make it even cooler. Sandtroopers! Royal Guards! Boba Fett! Oh my. While we’ve seen concept art and blurred images of…

A New Gundam Anime Means There’s New Gundam Toys

Mobile Suit Gundam and model kits go hand in hand—the plastic kits arguably saved the series from obscurity and helped turn it into an anime legend. So inevitably the announcement of a new series in the franchise, naturally, that means there’s a whole slew of gorgeous looking toys to go with it. https://kotaku.com/first-good-look-at-the-new-gundam-anime-1717929766 Mobile Suit…

Bandai’s Figuarts Hulkbuster Is Insanely Awesome

They’ve teased it for a very long time, but it’s finally here: Bandai have revealed their Figuarts Hulkbuster, and they’ve really pushed the boat out. Scaled in line with the other Avengers: Age of Ultron Figuarts, the Hulkbuster stands at around 10 inches tall, and is packed with the amount of crazy hyper-articulation you’d expect…

This Crazy Face Makes For A Great Darth Maul Figure

For what little time he graced the screen in The Phantom Menace, any sort of emotion that wasn’t “stoic” or “oh crap I just got chopped in half” was rarely seen on the visage of Darth Maul. However, this new figuarts toy from Bandai looks so wonderfully demented, it makes for a lovely figure. The…

Bandai’s Samurai Star Wars Toys Get Royal Guards, Boba Fett, And Drums

We’ve seen Bandai’s “Movie Realisation” takes on Star Wars before, turning Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers into Samurai — but now the line is expanding into amazing looking versions of the Royal Guards, Boba Fett and, as befitting any Star Wars toy line, more Stormtrooper variants than you can shake a stick at. https://gizmodo.com/samurai-darth-vader-leads-a-slew-of-crazy-japanese-star-1590655607 https://gizmodo.com/bandais-samurai-stormtrooper-looks-absolutely-amazing-1670694953…

Bandai’s War Machine Toy Comes Complete With Patriotic Action Features

Well, I say that, but it basically means Bandai’s latest Age of Ultron Figuarts toy can be posed saluting. There’s pictures of this thing swooshing around, firing plastic laser blasts, being a badass — but a shot of a little saluting action figure is easily the best thing about it. Just as War Machine was…

Bandai’s Latest Star Wars Model Kit Is A Gloriously Shiny C-3PO

It’s only natural that the next Star Wars model kit is C-3PO, to go with the recently unveiled R2-D2 — and C-3PO’s grand début in the 6-inch scale is certainly impressive. So shiny! https://gizmodo.com/bandais-newest-star-wars-model-kits-are-two-wonderful-a-1690506115 The 6-inch model is the first Threepio to ever be released in the scale, as the character has yet to appear…
