The lineup leans on reprints of Real Grade Deactive Mode kits and effect units rather than new molds, so the December 2026 slate is mainly a restock window for Premium Bandai exclusives.
The set is a thumbnail-sized catalog of Sunday's catalog, six works that span the magazine's history and its different readership eras, priced low enough to move as a small pickup rather than a collector's box.
A general apparel chain, not a hobby shop, is putting a Q Hayashida adaptation on its shelves, which is the clearest sign yet of how wide the Dorohedoro audience has become.
The drop is a standard tie-in for an older series, and it leans on the Sharingan and character color coding rather than any new animation, which is what Naruto merchandise has been doing since the manga ended.
The set's draw is the illustrator rather than the character, pulling a To Love Ru and Ayakashi Triangle artist into One Piece Card Game's heroine-focused booster line.
A character-goods drop aimed at the home category, where cushions and loungewear carry a license further than keyrings do, and the store-versus-online start on the same day keeps both channels in play from the first hour.
The Disney line is moving to a rotating seasonal design format rather than a fixed set, which keeps the series tied to the calendar and gives retailers a reason to restock every few months.
Myethos is staking a preorder window on a single Honkai: Star Rail character roughly ten months ahead of an August 2027 release, a long lead time that asks buyers to commit to a 37,920 yen piece before the final paint and specifications are locked.
The kit is a low-priced, small-format addition to the tie-in figure line, and its bundled everyday parts push it past a straight character model toward scene recreation.
Kotobukiya is extending its OSHI WORKS line into Snowball Earth merchandise, and the shared magnet base points to a release planned as a set rather than a pair of one-offs.
The two-card set and its August 2027 shipping keep ONE PIECE DAY merchandise in the lottery format Bandai uses to move event items that would otherwise sell out on a fixed date.
Kaiyodo is putting its ARTPLA line behind a Godzilla-series license and a named sculptor, selling a kit whose diorama base and swap-out head treat destruction as the product rather than an accessory.
The OSHI WORKS line's low price point is being applied to a Duel Monsters character who has anchored Mai Kujaku's deck, and the stated plan to keep expanding the series suggests Kotobukiya is treating the license as an ongoing catalog rather than a one-off.
Sega is placing a new Evangelion Unit-01 prize figure into arcades on a spring timeline without a fixed date, leaving the release window and the source of the unfamiliar pose as the two open questions.
Bandai puts its top figure brand behind the anniversary lottery and keeps the headline character off the main prize tiers, so the Erza Scarlet figure is the one draw buyers have to chase.
GU is a low-price apparel chain, so a 19-item Pokemon run priced between 1,490 and 4,990 yen puts licensed Pokemon clothing at everyday retail prices rather than collector prices.
An aurora repaint of an existing swing line plus a repeat-shipment plan is Bandai treating gashapon nostalgia as stock it expects to keep selling, not a one-run novelty.
The Mugen and Touson Boost forms were left out of the original DX toy run, so the CSM set is where that gap closes.
The light-up build and the two purchase-bonus channels show the figure is aimed at the highest-spend end of the STEINS;GATE collector base rather than a general release.
Sanrio's character roster is deep enough that a third all stars set can still pull Lloromannic and My Sweet Piano forward, and Bandai plans repeat shipments after the first run, which suggests the line is being treated as continuing stock rather than a one-off drop.
The Strike Gundam ENGINEERING EDITION turns the METAL BUILD line's engineering display into the product itself, and Bandai Spirits is holding that reveal for a stage it now treats as a global launch window rather than a domestic event booth.
The second PalVerse wave keeps Bushiroad Creative on a six-figure box cycle for Uma Musume, pairing the series' recognizable duos in a format priced for display rather than collection completion by chance.
A second master-piece run built on Char's academy uniform shows STRICT-G treating The Origin's prewar Zeon detail as a repeatable product line rather than a one-off tie-in.
Macross figure money keeps going to the TV-design VF-1 variants, and Max's machine arrives as a full Super configuration rather than a plain reissue.
