Synthesized from 9 Yomimono stories · updated 4d ago

Kotobukiya has been steadily growing its Oshi Works figure line, adding characters from Attack on Titan: The Final Season and Trigun Stampede. In June 2026, the company announced figures of Eren Yeager and Livio the Double Fang, both set for December 2026 release. The line uses magnets for base attachment and aims for affordable scale figures. By July 2026, Kotobukiya added Legato Bluesummers from Trigun Stampede and Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan, both scheduled for February 2027. The company stated that both the Trigun and Attack on Titan Oshi Works lines are planned to expand further.

At Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles on July 2, Kotobukiya showed a wide range of prototypes and color samples. The new OSHI WORKS Mini brand debuted with color samples of Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries and Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood from TRIGUN STARGAZE. The company also displayed prototypes for Super Kaguya-hime! figures, a Magic Knight Rayearth figure, and game-related figures including a 1/4 scale Anis from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 The Royal protagonists, Trails series characters, and SNK characters.

Kotobukiya also revisited older properties. The company reissued its Dark Horn Harry Special Zoids model with anime-accurate mold colors and decals, and announced an HMM series Salamander F2 Fighting Falcon with gold-plated parts. A new Front Mission Zenith Girl Gray Ver. plastic model was announced for November 2026, and the ARTFX J figure of Touko and Tepig from Pokémon Black and White was re-released. The Bishoujo series expanded with a Furby figure designed by Shunya Yamashita, priced at 25,300 yen for March 2027.
