The reveal shows Ken Elephant leaning on recurring names (Ito Junji, mojojojo, DOLLSSAN) at the same time it adds animal and mascot lines, keeping the January and February 2027 slots filled across capsule and blind box formats.
Two figures aimed at different shelf sizes and price points, with the Nahida bonus tied to the first production run and Kinich placed in an existing line rather than a standalone scale release.
A 120-issue weekly build is a long commitment for a licensed film model, and DeAgostini is betting that Maverick's Hornet can hold collectors for the full run.
Kotobukiya is placing two Snowball Earth leads in its lower-priced OSHI WORKS line at separate monthly releases two months apart, so the pair can be bought as a set rather than as one higher-priced centerpiece.
Doyusha's RC lineup is leaning on a Le Mans-winning prototype and a current Hypercar entry, plus a reissued Beetle, to cover both serious racing machines and casual buyers in the same October 2026 slot.
The collaboration moves Haikyu!! into merchandise-driven retail with in-store goods and a lottery, while Production I.G supplies new drawings of relaxed off-court character art rather than reused anime material.
The third volume of a goods line built on magazine-run gravure art shows Kujibikido functioning as a recurring outlet for Otomate character material rather than a one-off tie-in.
The candy-toy line lands on the TV anime version of Ghost in the Shell rather than the films, which tells you where Eftoys expects the sticker buyers to come from.
Bandai is marking the Stargazer anniversary with a recolor of an existing METAL BUILD mold rather than a new sculpt, and the only new tooling in the set is a pair of hand parts.
Medicom Toy is pairing the two HUSH releases on the same July 2027 date at the same price, so the Batgirl figure arrives alongside the Batman it shares a storyline with rather than as a standalone entry.
The approval by the actor who played Member Hayata ties two made-to-order Medicom Toy figures to the person behind the role, which is the selling point for a 60th anniversary line aimed at collectors rather than a general retail run.
The bullet-dodging pose is the image most people attach to The Matrix, and Medicom is selling the effect parts and the wired cloth coat as the answer to it.
TakaraTomy Arts is betting that anime character merchandise demand in the U.S. is narrow but deep, and it is building retail and machine placement around established Japanese IP rather than a broad product mix.
The kit targets the Kremer-modified 935 K2 body and its mechanical underside rather than another standard 935 release, and Platz pairs it with a same-month detail-up set for buyers who want the etched brake and seatbelt parts.
The lineup and free entry mean Akihabara gets a single-day, no-ticket look at what the figure makers have queued up, with Alter Mecha's Yukikaze re-release and the Cyber Formula anniversary talks carrying the schedule.
The rollout turns Divinez into arcade-prize merchandise rather than broadcast promotion, and most of the goods sit behind crane-game and capsule spend instead of direct retail.
Three Hasegawa Egg Plane kits return to the catalog on the same 880 yen price across three separate December dates, keeping the deformed-style line and its Egg Girls packaging in circulation.
The coaster line is the character goods side of the franchise's return to TV, aiming at buyers who want the visuals in hand rather than on a screen.
Two versions of a car that spent decades in service across East Germany, covering the civilian, police, and rally configurations, arrive through Platz at a point when 1/35 scale vehicle kits with 3D-printed figures are moving from armor subjects into civilian cars.
The signature card list is the draw here: forty-plus voice actors are credited to foil-stamped cards in a single booster set, which turns a card release into a checklist of who plays whom.
The embroidery and charm work is aimed at the same two audiences as before, Cardcaptor Sakura readers who want the iconography legible in everyday clothing, so the collaboration's second run reads as an apparel line built for a defined collector base rather than a one-off tie-in.
A full ten-type run packed into one box is what lets a shokugan tie-in function as a fleet roster matter more than a blind-box gamble, and EFT priced the set so the complete collection costs less than buying ten singles.
Tom and Jerry merchandise at this scale lands on the fashion side of Medicom Toy's business rather than its collectible figure lines, which puts the Hanna-Barbera duo on the same apparel shelf MLE reserves for licensed characters.
With the series now past its finale, the merch line is how the title stays in circulation between broadcast and whatever comes next.
