Whats better than playing video games? Buying overpriced pieces of plastic based on video games. I love merchandise. Right now as of writing I can look around my room and wherever I look I am reminded that my parents are disappointed in me.

One of the best types of collectables, especially for properties that feature Mecha or Giant Robots is the Model kit. Popularized by bandai’s Gunpla Line (that’s Gundam Plastic Model kits, Gun-Pla) which took the Iconic robots from the hit gundam animes and shot them out in 1/144 scale kits that you have to build yourself, since then most franchises have had *some* form of model kit representation.

The most recent to join this fray is Square Enix, who are putting out a kit of the flight Unit from 2016’s surprise hit Nier: Automata. Surprise hit because what the hell is a drakengard? Nier automata was a game that really shouldn’t have done well. The rest of director Yoko Taro’s games in the drakengard/Nier franchise had not done well, in part due to the development team… not being too great. These games had cult appeal, sure, and a dedicated fanbase, but I don’t think anyone was expecting Automata to be as big as it was. Then again, the old developers, Cavia, were out for this one, and replacing them were action game legends Platinum games, best known for the bayonetta franchise.

The game came out and was an instant classic, reviving interest in the series and allowing for the recent remake of the original Neir Replicant. Alongside this was a tone of merchandise, because… well I would love to say it was because the characters are just cool, but being real its probably because most people want Protagonist 2B to step on them. However one part of the series that has yet to get much is the flight units that are a part of the Shoot-Em-Up/Bullet hell sections of the game.

Now, Square has Released a Model kit for them. There are 2 variants, one for 2B and one for 9S, with 2b coming out in may and 9s in april. Now as far as I can tell this is being made in house by Squares Merchandise department, who i don’t *think* have a huge amount of experience in kits as compared to bandai, good smile company or kotobukiya, so maybe watch out a little.

You cant pick up any model kits from go2games.com, but you may be able to find some other merchandise you would like

Ganyu joins Ningguang, Klee, Mona, and Keqing as the next Genshin Impact character to get a figure.

Ganyu will join the roster of Genshin Impact‘s available figures this November, and you wont have to depend on Gacha luck to bring her home this time.

Ganyu’s debut on Tmall is scheduled for November 1st for fans in China. Unfortunately, Mihoyo still doesn’t have an official store for fans outside of China at the moment. But fear not: plenty of retailers like AmiAmi, Big Bad Toy Store, and others typically sell Genshin Impact figures shortly after pre-orders go live in China – so if you’re determined, you can score a figure of Liyue’s finest secretary.

Apex is also back as the company behind Genshin Impact’s next figure, it’s the same maker as the one who produced Keqing and Klee. Ganyu slots in nicely beside them as another 1/7 piece, scheduled to ship to you in January 2023. Her Tmall price comes out to around 115 USD, but you will have to expect a mark-up if you’re buying her from other sellers.

Ganyu joins other detailed PVC tributes the gorgeous statue of Mona from Wonderful Works, and a Ningguang figure that will run you over 400 USD or more from resellers. The mark-up is pretty unsurprising given the games popularity. Not only that, but the figure is g-orge-ous.

I have a soft spot for pretty much all of the Cryo wielding women in Genshin (Ayaka, Rosaria, and Ganyu), and I’m very fond of Chongyun and Kaeya, too. I’d love to own this beautiful statue of Ganyu, but as always with figures, the price is a bit more than I’m willing to fork over for something that will sit in my room. Those of you who can spare money for a figure collection – I am pretty jealous, I won’t lie. Maybe someday I’ll cave and finally swap my acrylic standees for something more upmarket.

Best of luck to anyone trying to get their hands on the gentle adeptus. I’m hoping for a rerun so I can at least snag her in-game.

Fans are loving the unexpectedly cute combination.

Everybody loves Hello Kitty. The cute cat produced by the Japanese company Sanrio is recognisable all over the world for her iconic red bow and white fur. Sanrio has had crossovers with plenty of anime before, including My Hero Academia, Steins;Gate, and Mobile Suit Gundam. This time around, the famous kitty is taking up residence with the Survey Corps.

The collab was originally teased with this image:

At the time, we didn’t know which character was assigned to whom. (Turn around!!! one of my friends yelled when I sent it to them.) Everyone felt it was pretty obvious that Maru would be our beloved and brooding captain.

We didn’t have to wait long for the reveal though. It came the following day:

My Twitter timeline was immediately flooded with cute art and Hello Kitty Erwin memes.

I had to get in on the fun myself, and drew my own interpretation of Commander Kitty.

Attack on Titan, which first aired in 2013, is one of the most popular anime of all time. No doubt, the collab is shaping up to be a huge success. You might think that fans of such a gorey show wouldn’t meet Sanrio’s target demographic, but it’s quite the opposite. Fans are always looking for comedic relief from the darkness of Attack on Titan, and the parody spin-off Attack on Titan: Junior High, is very well-loved.

I, and surely many other fans as well, am dying to get my hands on a few of the plushies. Jean is my all-time favourite character, but Hello Kitty Erwin is kind of too iconic not to buy. And I can’t buy Erwin and leave him Levi-less! I’m looking forward to the release, but I don’t think my bank account is.

Even if you’re not planning on buying a plushie, though, (and please bear in mind we know nothing about pricing or international shipping yet) you can still enjoy the promotional art and slew of memes surrounding the collab. Part 2 of the final season of AOT is set to release January 9th, 2022 – so hype is in a good place right now!

If the trailer got you feeling a little dark, this should change your mood:

Game of Thrones Astrolabe

You can now own a piece of Game of Thrones, the Astrolabe, from the opening credits of the programme!

According to a source, you can now own your very own GoT Astrolabe, and it’s all thanks to Insight Editions’ Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros! The guide will come with a 13″ tall and fully functional model of the Astrolabe, from the opening credits of Game of Thrones. The main piece is also held aloft by a Stark Direwolf, Targaryen Dragon, Lannister Lion and Baratheon stag. The release date of this magnificent piece is yet to be made clear, but it is expected to be made available this Summer.

You can take a look at some of the photos of the Astrolabe below. Absolutely perfect for the avid Game of Thrones fan! So that’s pretty much everyone…
