Bandai UK’s most recent licensed Tamagotchi Nano ranges, which combine the world’s first virtual pet with some of the most popular licensed entertainment brands, include Star Wars Grogu, Tiny Tan and film favourites, Jurassic World and Toy Story. The Nanos feature the nurturing and gaming elements of the original Tamagotchi but are smaller in size and incorporate characterbased ‘pets’, alongside exclusive games and animated clips. New launches planned for later in the year include Japanese anime hits, Spy Family, Tokyo Revengers and One Piece. Inspired by the Sega Game property, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Netflix TV Series, Sonic Prime, Bandai has added the Sonic Prime range of collectibles, action figures, plush, and keychains to its portfolio. The collection includes entry-priced blind-bagged 6.5cm collectible figures, and blind-boxed 7.5cm articulated figures. Multipacks of the 7.5cm figures offer varying price points, while Sonic Prime figural keychains and Clip on Plush will expand the impulse purchase possibilities.

Based on the Pudgy Penguins NFTs, Bandai is introducing a range of physical collectibles at sub-£20 price-points, with each line including QR codes for consumers to enjoy a digital experience. The current range includes Igloo blind pack 5cm characters, Clip on Plush, 20cm Plush Buddies, 30cm Huggable Plush and the 11.5cm collectible Penguin figures - each based on a unique NFT design, complete with an adoption certificate and the chance for consumers to access their own NFTs.

As distributors for McFarlane Toys, the Bandai UK range includes properties for the High Target Collector Market, plus high-quality, playable toys. Action figure lines are based on some of popular culture’s most iconic licences such as DC, Avatar, Warhammer, Demon Slayer and Spawn, across its range of 7” highly detailed character figures, Build-A-Figures, 12” figures and vehicles, all at varying price points.

Recently launching MINIX to the UK toy market, these collectible miniatures present true-to-life 12cm tall vinyl character figures from some of the most current and popular entertainment titles and sports IPs. Current collections include Stranger Things, The Witcher and Squid Game, alongside popular football legends such as Maradona, Mbappé, Messi and Neymar. The collectibles are displayed in numbered window box packaging designed to appeal to all ages.

Collectible designer art plush range DZNR combines renowned heritage, artistry and licensed characters with plush. Featuring detailed embroidery and print designs, these limitededition, premium fabric collectible characters are presented inside a collector’s box complete with collectible character cards.
