Kirby Wii Mascot Figures. Yes, more Nintendo figure news. While I may not have been the biggest fan of Return to Dreamland, there’s no denying that it’s got some cuuuute Kirbies in it, and I find the prospect of having a 50mm version of one on my desk pretty appealing.
These will be out next month in Japan, and as usual, I’m sure an importer will pick them up soon. Whip Kirby! Uh, that was an exclamation of excitement about the Kirby with the whip ability. Not a command.

Zelda Figure Collection toys. Yes, more Nintendo figure news! This set includes versions of Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Phantom Hourglass.— which reminds me that I have no toys depicting Wind Waker-style Link, the only Zelda toy I’d ever need.
NCSX just opened pre-orders for complete sets, at $28.90. They’ll ship in April.

I don’t really need a Zero Suit Samus in my house, but that Varia Suit Samus is pretty great. And you don’t have to tell people it’s from Metroid: Other M if you don’t want to.

♡♪!? (a.k.a. Geno) figurine from Fangamer, one of several new items introduced at the gaming merchandise shop as it kicks off the Super Mario RPG Fanfest.
Crafted by Camille Young, the 4”, hand-painted figure features a laser cut/etched cape, four poseable joints, and a wind-up key. Fangamer is only selling 150 of these, each numbered and signed. And if a star being ever stops by your home, he’ll probably possess your doll to recover pieces of Star Road scattered around the world.

Kotobukiya’s amazing Mega Man model kit, which I have yet to shut up about, will receive an official American release through Capcom’s online store this July. Pre-orders are available now for $29.95. Capcom is also planning to stock the Roll and Proto Man figures at the same time, for the same price!
Each one is made up of “approximately 200 pieces,” which is absolutely terrifying.

This set of blind-boxed PVC figurines may not have the experience-rich Metal King Slime, but there are plenty of slimes, even with other monsters!
There are 12 figures in the set including color variations. Hobby Search is selling boxes of 9 randomly assorted figures for a sale price of $55.39.

Dragon Quest Slime bath balls — drop it in water and let the soap dissolve to find a random Dragon Quest enemy! You can import a pack of 12 bath balls (there are 9 possible figures) from AmiAmi for, um, $40. That’s pretty expensive considering the collection doesn’t include any Meta-, Platinum, and Gem-type Slimes…

Even though you can buy the thing from any number of import shops, I still find it awesome that Kotobukiya has announced plans to release the Mega Man figure/model kit worldwide!
You guys have seen and heard about this thing about a million times, so I won’t go on too much about it. Kotobukiya didn’t provide a specific price or date, only this super exciting announcement of intent. Yay!

You’re supposed to be able to play a game with the cards and marbles (and an opponent, of course), but I don’t understand the Spanish instruction sheet that came included with these two figure packs.
Much thanks to Nathan Vella of Capybara (the developer behind Clash of Heroes and its upcoming HD PSN port) for sending these over. As far as I know, you can only get these figures at shops in Spain/Portugal.
Buy: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes ($19.96)

This set of 12 gashapon figures may not be as detailed (or as big) as the Kotobukiya figure, but the sculpts are still really great, and the series includes more characters than just the “Blue Bomber.” That Air Man is perfect, and I want one! Here are the two essential toys that didn’t fit in the gallery above:
These pictures are from Hobby Search, where the figures can be purchased for $73.67. They’re also available from Amiami and HLJ. Unnnnnnnnfortunately, they come in sets of 12, but it’s 12 blind boxes. Which means if I were to buy it, I’d get like 8 Basses and 4… of the other Bass. That guy ruins everything.

In my last fawning post about Kotobukiya’s upcoming Mega Man figure, a reader asked me to continue providing updates about the figure. I hope you weren’t being sarcastic!
Protodude has collected pre-order prices from a few retailers, and they’re hella reasonable, at least in terms of imported, high-quality toys. I feared $80, but these are a lot closer to the “affordable” range. It’ll be out in September.
On one hand, I’m embarrassed to keep pointing out stuff about some toy, revealing my continued enthusiasm for what is basically an inert chunk of plastic. On the other hand, I know some of you are totally with me on this. Plus, at the very least, we all get to look at it again.
