Seemingly out of nowhere, like a glittery dusting of stars from the Classic Anime skies, comes a whole new collection of toys from Japanese toy company Tokyo Toys. And right now, they are focusing on Manga legend (really, the granddaddy of anime and manga as we know it) Osamu Tezuka and some of the amazing franchises of characters he’s created. Between Osamu Tezuka and Go Nagai, I swoon.
Check out the hot newness from HobbyLink Japan and get your hands on some of these beauties today!
Astro Boy
Coming December 2019 with an MSRP of $117, Tokyo Toys brings us a wonderful new figure of Osamu Tezuka’s iconic Mighty Atom, a.k.a. Astro Boy! Made of PVC and metal alloy, Astro Boy is in an enthusiastic pose with both fists held up and a big smile. He also comes with a small figure of the recurring character Hyotantsugi. He’s available for preorder right now.
Tokyo Toys brings us a large vinyl figure of the powerful Pluto, who challenged Astro Boy! He’s articulated at the neck, arms and ankles for posability, and is a mighty 54.6cm tall. He costs $220, will ship December 2019, and is available for preorder today.
Princess Knight
The brave Princess Sapphire from Osamu Tezuka’s “Princess Knight” proved that girls can be just as adventurous as boys, and now she’s the subject of this alloy and PVC figure from Tokyo Toys! With her sword held high, she’s poised on tiptoe on a base shaped like a large red rose in full bloom. She stands about 16.5cm tall. Add her to your collection today!

The Phoenix
The Phoenix, one of Osamu Tezuka’s most iconic characters, becomes a well-detailed figure from Tokyo Toy!

She costs $126, ships December 2019, and is available for preorder today.
Black Jack
Move over, Tuxedo Mask! This figure of Osamu Tezuka’s genius surgeon character, Doctor Black Jack, is sculpted with great care, accurately depicting his flowing cloak and sharp expression. He’s about 17cm tall. Black Jack costs $126, ships December 2019, and can be preordered today.
Holy chibi kawaii, Batman. Doctor Black Jack’s partner and constant companion, the painfully cute Pinoko, is now a metal alloy and PVC figure from Tokyo Toys!
