SEGA’s presence in the Nendoroid line of figures will expand with the first Jet Set Radio figure of the series star Gum! While Beat is seen as the face of Jet Set Radio, with the character seeing multiple action figures, statues and even a toy car of his appearance in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, other characters from the game series never seem to get the same level of love.
If you’re unfamiliar with Figma, Figma is a Japanese action figure line produced by Max Factory and distributed by Good Smile Company. Various anime, movies, video games and even the occasional celebrity have Figma figures, what what’s so cool about them is that they are all the same scale, are super articulated and can mix and match accessories. The figmaPLUS line focuses on accessories and playsets, and of interest to SEGA fans is the figmaPLUS SEGA Consoles collection, which is now available for pre-order!
SEGA has announced the global release dates for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX! The game will be releasing to North America on May 26th of this year, hitting both store shelves and Nintendo’s digital download service the eShop. Fans in Japan and Korea can expect a May 28th release, and Europe will follow on May 29th. Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX isn’t your usual Hatsune Miku game, as SEGA has teamed with Good Smile Company to present the characters in their chibi-style Nendoroid figure style. You may remember that Miku and Sonic got the Nendoroid treatment, and as somebody who owns the Sonic figure, I can tell you that Good Smile Company does a fantastic job with both the physical figures, and the Nendoroid redesign.
After the break, check out a full press release, a trailer, and gallery of images!
We brought you the news that Good Smile Company would be making a nendoroid figure for Sonic’s 20th anniversary in Japan.
Now for what you all want to know. How much will this beautiful figure cost me? If you live in Japan it will cost you ¥3,500 (about $45 USD). If you live outside of Japan, you will be paying more for importing it. The figure comes with Sonic (you can pose him standing or running), item box, chaos emerald and point marker. When is it out? April 2012 is what Good Smile Company is aiming for. Check out the product page here.
Japanese toy manufacture Good Smile Company are going to make some Sonic the Hedgehog 20th Anniversary figures. You can see their figure on the picture above. Do you like it?
The only issue right now I have is that they are only making a modern Sonic. Would be cool to have a nice Retro Sonic version as well. Wouldn’t you agree?
