Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America
launches next wave of iconic figures!
IRVINE,
Calif., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Bandai Namco
Toys & Collectibles America is bringing fun to new heights with
the latest line of Gundam Infinity figures, which plan to take over
conventions this summer by introducing new anime fans into the
growingly popular world of customizable play.
Gundam helped pioneer the real robot subgenre of mecha anime,
which had an impact in Japan
comparable to that of other famous space operas in the United States before becoming a global
phenomenon. Fans of the space opera were quick to make space on
their shelves to bring the Gundam universe home in figure form.
However, when it comes to Gundam fans, they like to build their
collections quite literally.
"Customizable figures have become synonymous with Gundam with
increasingly intricate models by hardcore fans," said Daisuke Zama,
Vice President of Marketing, Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles
America. "We're thrilled to be able to provide an entry point for
newcomers entering the world of mecha anime with figures designed
to turn fans into collectors."
Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America's Gundam Infinity
collection launched last year offering fans collectible 4.5-inch
figures that come with interchangeable body parts to mix and match
across characters for endless customization. These newly released
figures are based on the iconic Mobile Suits, Gundam Deathscythe,
Char's Zaku, and Gundam Exia, all of which had won the hearts of
fans in the mecha-genre of anime through their epic tales of battle
on Earth, and into the great unknowns of space. Joining the Gundam
Infinity series are Burning Gundam and Unicorn Gundam, available
for pre-order now.
"The Gundam Infinity line by Bandai is such a fantastic line of
customizable figures, with so many interchangeable parts and
accessories these make excellent figures to mix, match &
customize into your own unique Gundam build," said John from The
Unboxers. "The parts interchange so easily and work so well
together, customization is easy and fun."
Fans can bring the big fun of Gundam to an even smaller scale
with the first wave of Mobile Change HARO figures, which transform
from the iconic Haro form into a collectible 3.5-inch figure. The
new Gundam Infinity waves will be showcased at fan-centric
conventions this summer, including Anime Expo and San Diego
Comic-Con, with sneak peeks of figures on the horizon and to give
fans a hands-on mecha experience!
Stay tuned to see how Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles
America's Gundam line will continue to roll out fan-favorite
characters from the mecha manga.
