Finally, the Samurai Pizza Cats Action Figure You Always Wanted to Pay Too Much For
 |
?I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that nearly 20 years after the fact, Japan is making a Samurai Pizza Cats action figure. The 5-inch figure of Speedy will have 23 points of articulation, is due out this spring, and will come with all the accessories above. The bad news is that it’ll likely be at least $40, god only knows if the other characters will ever get the same toy treatment, and Speedy himself will be hard to come by, since pretty much every single person who watched Samurai Pizza Cats will be trying to import one. If you’re interested, I’d keep a close watch on the pre-order section your favorite import toy site for the next few weeks. Thanks to SlyDante for the tip. (Via Tomopop)
