S.H. Figuarts Batman (1989) Coming from Tamashii Nations

Posted on by

Tamashii Nations has unveiled a new S.H. Figuarts Batman (1989) figure. Set for release in September in Japan, it’ll arrive in the US sometime in October 2020. The retail price should be around $68 (currently listed at $71.99) though that isn’t set due to exchange rates.

Based on the iconic movie, the figure is an uncanny likeness. The cowl covers the neck, just like the film and it comes with “wonderful toys.” Accessories include a zipline gauntlet (with movable gimmick) grappling gun, batarang, two shuriken, and replacement hand and expression parts.

Tamashii Nations 10th Anniversary World Tour Stops In NYC In April

Posted on by

world-tour-ny-poster-visualBANDAI Co., Ltd. is in the middle of a worldwide tour of figure display events being held in 10 cities over the course of the year in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of its Tamashii Nations brand of collectible figures.

The twofold aim is to thank all of the Tamashii Nations fans who have supported the brand, and to spread the word about Tamashii Nations to even more potential fans across the globe.

Tamashii Nations has announced the third event in the annual series. Tamashii Nations 10th Anniversary WORLD TOUR: New York City will be held at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall in Manhattan on April 29th-30th.

The event will center around new products from the Dragon Ball series (the latest incarnation of which, Dragon Ball Super, is now airing in the US), and the Meisho Movie/Manga Realization action figure series of popular Star Wars and Marvel Universe characters re-envisioned in Japanese samurai style. In addition, popular anime characters from Naruto and Sailor Moon, plus characters already well known to fans from the WWE franchise and Godzilla series, will also be on display. Other interactive opportunities are planned as well, such as a “touch and try” corner allowing fans to interact with the actual products and a photo spot for taking fun pictures. A total of 9 commemorative products will make their world debut for sale on-site as well.

The World Tour kicked off in December, 2016 in Sao Paolo, Brazil. It was followed by Hong Kong in February, and coming up in April, New York City, which will follow up with June, in Mexico. The worldwide celebration will continue with exciting new events and product unveilings in other cities leading up to October of 2017, with the final stop, Tamashii Nation 2017, being held in November in Tokyo — a spectacular event commemorating the 10 year history of the beloved brand.

Tamashii Nations & Bluefin Expand North American Market For Japanese Collectibles

Posted on by

Tamashii Nations, the collector’s toy division of Bandai Japan and its most premium label for ages 15 and up, is expanding its footprint in North America as it prepares to mark its 10th anniversary this Spring.

Since its inception in 2007, Tamashii Nations’ portfolio has grown to include products from top entertainment properties such as Star Wars, Marvel, WWE, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and DC. These new Western licenses compliment the Japanese anime and manga properties contributing to the brand’s meteoric rise in popularity among toy collectors.

Pioneering technologies like the Digital Color Technology, which prints an exact life-like representation of a character on the portrait of its S.H. Figuarts action figures, have been a key factor in the growing affinity for the Tamashii Nations brand.

As the official distributor for Tamashii Nations’ products in the U.S., Bluefin oversees channel distribution to retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Toys “R” Us, GameStop, and Hot Topic / BoxLunch. Operations in North America have grown ten-fold since the two companies started their relationship eight years ago.

To celebrate the continued success of the Tamashii Nations brand, an international touring exhibit visiting 10 major cities around the world is making its only U.S. stop in New York City this spring. The Tamashii Nations 10th Anniversary World Tour will take place on Sat. and Sun., April 29-30 at the Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. The event, which is free to visit, includes specially curated displays featuring exclusive and never-before-seen Tamashii Nations items, as well as a wide array of products available for retail purchase.

According to retail sales data reported by the NPD Group, Tamashii Nations currently holds licenses for 7 of the Top 10 brands in the action figure segment of the $22 billion dollar U.S. toy market.
