year, and we'd like to say thanks to all of our fans who
came out to pick up our newest exclusives, or just to say

We
also had plenty of upcoming products to show off, such as
the full set of upcoming FUTURAMA action figures. The first
assortment, featuring Fry and Zoidberg, should be arriving
in stores within a matter of weeks!
Fans
were reacting positively to the announcement of our partnership
with Reebok, with each pair of their new Voltron sneakers
coming with one of the Lions needed to create a fully articulated
transformable Voltron! Look for these in stores this holiday
season.
Skelanimals
were present in full force, with all kinds of new products
making their debut, from vinyl and plush to backpacks and
slippers!
Robotech
fans also got some great news, with the unveiling of the
long-awaited Beta Fighter, scheduled for release in the
spring, and the Masterpiece Collection Cyclones!
And
in the Cinemaquette
department, two brand-new museum-quality pieces made their
debut, the Predator and the Godfather!

“NARUTO”
STATUES AND COLLECTIBLES COMING SOON FROM TOYNAMI
Sherman
Oaks, CA – Toynami is very pleased to announce that
it has acquired the license to create figurines, statues
and collectibles based on the smash new anime sensation
NARUTO, currently airing in Cartoon Network.
NARUTO,
created by Masashi Kishim
oto, made its debut as manga in the pages of SHONEN JUMP,
and quickly became the most popular ninja manga in Japan.
NARUTO tells the story of a young ninja-in-training who
battles his mischievous nature while attending the Ninja
Academy, determined to become the greatest ninja in the
world and eventually lead his village.
“We’re
very excited to start bringing NARUTO’s fantastic
characters to life in three dimensions,” said Toynami
President George Sohn. “I’ve been watching the
episodes, and I’m already addicted!"
Toynami
plans to create collectible and limited-edition statues,
and the company’s trademark bookends and more! More
details on the product line and pricing information will
be released soon.

What’s
up with the Voltron delays?
Probably
the most-asked question at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con
was just that: “When’s the Voltron Masterpiece
coming out? What’s taking so long?” We hear
you, and trust us, we’re just as impatient to get
the final product as you are. Here’s the scoop: Midway
through our normal quality control process, we elected to
make further changes to the tooling so as to improve the
overall transformability, which has unfortunately caused
a delay in production. An exact release date can’t
be given at present, but we expect to see it by the end
of the year.
We
understand that the delays are frustrating, but we’d
rather take a little more time and deliver the best product
we possibly can. In the meantime,
here are
some new images of the proto-type.
Thanks
for your continued patience.
