“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.
