BellFine is officially opening preorders for their Samurai Pizza Cats (キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ) Yattaro & Toritsukkun 1/12 model kit—and this thing is STACKED.

We’re getting:

• Yattaro (~115mm) with multiple faceplates, hands, and expressions

• Toritsukkun (~110mm / ~248mm wingspan!)

• A full combination gimmick to recreate the Mega Nyanki form

• Wide articulation (yes, even the ears 👀)

• AND beautifully faithful anime-style sculpting

💥 BONUS ALERT 💥

Preordering through BellFine’s official shop includes an Omi-chan acrylic stand (not for sale separately 👀)

Honestly?

This is shaping up to be the most accessible Toritsukkun armor release since ES Gokin—and that alone makes this a must-watch.

After years of drought, we’re now getting:

➡ A new game

➡ Multiple figure lines

➡ AND fully realized model kits

Yeah… something’s definitely happening with this series. 😏

Preorders open: May 1st, 11:00 JST

➡https://shop.bellfine.co.jp/view/item/000000000640

You already know I’m ready.

We are SO back.

BellFine just confirmed that preorders for their Kyattou Ninden Teyandee (Samurai Pizza Cats) kit are starting soon, featuring:

🐾 Yattaro (Speedy Cerviche)

🛠 + Toritsukkun support mecha

And here’s the important part…

This is NOT just “another Speedy.”

This is the first accessible Toritsukkun armour Nyanki we’ve seen since the ES Gokin line disappeared into aftermarket insanity. 💀💸

For newer fans: this is your chance to finally own this form without selling a kidney.

Between the painted prototype, official promo push, and now preorder timing…

Yeah, this line is very real—and it’s moving.

If this performs well, it could open the floodgates for the Karamaru/Bad Bird prototype they were proudly displaying at events.

Stay sharp. This is one you won’t want to miss! More details to come.

Sometimes, collecting takes you off the beaten path… and straight into beautifully chaotic territory.

This unofficial Samurai Pizza Cats card comes from a series known as “Anime World”, a crossover-style trading card line featuring Pikachu cosplaying as various anime characters. Yes—including our boi Speedy Cerviche (ヤッ太郎).

From what I’ve been able to piece together:

• The card is part of a larger numbered set (this one is #18)
• Produced under the name Flash Edition
• Commonly attributed to Peru / Latin American markets
• Sold in booster boxes containing 30 packs (5 cards per pack)
• Full set reportedly includes 200+ cards, with “special” variants

This isn’t licensed merchandise from Samurai Pizza Cats or Nintendo—but rather part of a fascinating category of regional, unofficial anime collectibles.

What makes it interesting isn’t rarity or value…
…it’s the existence of an entire crossover ecosystem where Pikachu can casually suit up as Yattaro and dual-wield katanas like it’s totally normal.

Will I overpay for it? Absolutely not.
Will I grab one if I find it for a sane price? …also yes.

Because sometimes the collection needs a little chaos.

📖✨ Sometimes you buy a whole magazine for two pages… and honestly? Worth it. ✨📖

This is the March 2026 issue of Animage—one of Japan’s longest-running and most influential anime magazines. Since the late 1970s, it’s been a go-to source for anime news, creator interviews, and industry features (and yes… it’s also the magazine behind the original Anime Grand Prix rankings 👀).

Buried inside this issue is a two-page feature on Kyattou Ninden Teyandee—and you already know I wasn’t about to pass that up. 🤣

🐾 The article itself is a fun little spotlight on the series, highlighting:
• The world of Edoropolis and its unique Edo-meets-sci-fi setting
• The core trio (Yattaro, Pururun, and Sukashii)
• The show’s charm, humor, and enduring appeal
• A promotional push for the BD-BOX release

It’s not a massive deep-dive, but it is a really nice modern acknowledgment that the series is still remembered and celebrated—even decades later. And honestly? Seeing Teyandee show up in a mainstream publication like this just hits different. 🤍❤💙

Also… let’s be real:
Did I buy an entire issue of Animage for a two-page article?

…yes.
No regrets. 😌

• Title: キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee)

• Edition: 暫定版 (provisional/preview edition)

• Circle: グループ601 (Group 601)

• Notes:

  • 未成年者の閲覧禁止！ → Minors prohibited

This 54-page Group 601 doujinshi is such a fascinating piece of Kyattou Ninden Teyandee history. It’s a mixed-content fanbook featuring a blend of illustrations, comics, and short stories—ranging from playful and nostalgic to more mature themes (definitely not one for the kiddos 😅).

What really makes this one special is the inclusion of a SFW “NYC Pizza Cats” story—a rare little crossover nod to the Western dub that you don’t often see represented in Japanese fan works. That alone makes it feel like a unique bridge between both sides of the fandom.

The artwork throughout is genuinely impressive—clean linework, expressive character poses, and that unmistakable 90s doujin charm. You can tell this was made by fans who truly loved the series.

Another beautiful little time capsule of a fandom that’s always been small—but full of heart. 🤍❤💙
