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.

Whenever he bumps into anything, he’ll come out with one of his amusing little quirks which is sure to brighten anyone’s day. He’s been one of our most popular guys at Comic Con so far and has a tendency to photo-bomb too! Also, because this guy is inflatable, just try knocking him down and doing him some damage…because you won’t succeed!

Please do not though that your radio-controlled Minion operates at 27Mhz. He also requires 1 x 9V battery for the handset and 4 x AA batteries for the drive unit [Batteries are NOT included]. Available to purchase on our site HERE.

Now this mechanical wonder is definitely a crowd pleaser! It’s the Bladez Toyz Gyro helicopter with electronic bubble blaster!

Just wonderful all round, and fans will LOVE this Bounty Hunters toy!  Defeat the droid army with the Star Wars Angry Birds Telepods Battle on Geonosis Set. Stack the blocks and put the Battle Droid and Reek pig figures on top. Then use the lightsaber launcher to fire Mace Windu at the evil swines and topple them off.
