    Tamashii Nations 2019 is here. The event, held in Akihabara, Tokyo is put on by the Bandai Spirits Collectors Department, and runs from October 25th through the 27th.

    This year, the event takes up two locations, one dedicated to character figures, and the other devoted to those robots, mechs and mobile suits you love so much. The event also features a number of exclusives you can only get at the show. The show is also a great opportunity to become a Club Tamashii member, the free program grants you benefits and gifts when shopping online and in-person at selected retailors.

    The Star Wars Meisho Movie Realization Continues

    New York Comic-Con has come and gone, and with it our Tamashii Nations Star Wars display at the Crystal Palace, located inside the Javits Center. There we had a life-size Meisho Darth Vader replica, complete with wearable samurai armor. Each day attendees of all ages lined up to have their photos taken with the dark lord. The statue was the ultimate centerpiece for our booth, and we photographed all of the contest winners from our Scouter Stamp Rally in front of it. Hopefully you had a chance to swing by our booth and check in with us to see what's in store for our Star Wars samurai figures.
