BellFine has announced that they’ll be exhibiting painted display samples of their Yattaro (Speedy Cerviche) & Toritsukun (Goonie Bird) plastic model kit at Wonder Festival Summer 2026, taking place on July 26 at Makuhari Messe.

While the kit has been exhibited previously, this will likely be its final appearance as a prototype before its expected retail release, later in August.

The display will feature a painted sample of the completed kit at the AmiAmi Hobby Camp × BellFine booth (8-02-01), giving attendees another opportunity to see the finished model up close before it reaches collectors.

With Wonder Festival just days away, I’m looking forward to seeing fresh photos from the show floor. It’ll be interesting to see if BellFine has made any final refinements before the kit officially launches next month.

Between BellFine, YoloPark, Wave, and the growing list of officially licensed products announced this year, 2026 continues to be one of the most exciting years Samurai Pizza Cats fans have seen in decades.

I’ll definitely be watching for more photos once Wonder Festival opens! 🤍💙❤

The wait is over! Following the recent silhouette teaser, YoloPark has officially unveiled the first prototype images of Polly Esther (Pururun) and Guido Anchovy (Sukashii) from their upcoming Samurai Pizza Cats AMK PRO line!

I also love that this reveal confirms the silhouettes really were based on the official 30th anniversary artwork. It feels like YoloPark is treating the whole trio as a cohesive set rather than making Speedy and then deciding whether the others are worth doing. That’s a very encouraging sign for the line’s future.

From these early grey prototypes, a few things immediately stand out:

✨ Polly Esther
• Features a graceful walking pose full of personality.
• Includes her signature sword (I hope they include her flute, too)!
• Beautifully captures her confident, cheerful expression.

✨ Guido Anchovy
• Dynamic action pose with parasol in hand.
• Faithful armor sculpt with a stance that perfectly suits his character.
• Looks ready to spring into action.

Both will likely come packaged with their hero & civilian outfits, just like Speedy did!

One thing I especially appreciate is that these aren’t simple reskins of Speedy. Each member of the Pizza Cats has their own unique pose, expression, and sculpt, giving the trio distinct personalities right from the prototype stage.

These are still unpainted prototypes, but if the final production figures stay this faithful, YoloPark is shaping up to deliver something really special.

2026 just keeps getting better for Samurai Pizza Cats fans:

📀 Blu-ray
🧸 Plushies
⚙ Model kits

Even in prototype form, the attention to character-specific details is incredibly promising. If the final painted figures stay this faithful, YoloPark may be on track to create one of the most charming Samurai Pizza Cats figure lines we’ve seen.

No release date or pricing has been announced just yet, but with Speedy already available and these two now revealed, it’s exciting to see the entire Pizza Cats team steadily coming together.

Who’s your favourite, so far? ❤💙💗

YoloPark has unveiled its lineup for Hong Kong Anime Games Festival 2026, and it looks like Samurai Pizza Cats will once again be among the featured licenses!

While nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, the teaser image includes two familiar silhouettes under the Samurai Pizza Cats banner that strongly resemble Sukashii (Guido Anchovy) and Pururun (Polly Esther). More specifically, the 30th anniversary official artwork.

If these are indeed who they appear to be, they’ll join Yattaro (Speedy Cerviche) in YoloPark’s growing Samurai Pizza Cats lineup.

The reveal is expected during Hong Kong Anime Games Festival, taking place July 24-28, so we may not have to wait much longer before seeing the full prototypes.

Nothing is confirmed until YoloPark officially unveils them, but it’s certainly an exciting tease for Pizza Cats fans!

I’ll be keeping an eye on the event and will share any official reveals as soon as they’re announced. ❤💙

It’s amazing seeing just how much momentum the franchise has right now. Between the manga, plushies, the upcoming game, the teased Shout! Studios release, and now what appears to be more YoloPark figures, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years Samurai Pizza Cats has seen in decades. 💚

Samurai Pizza Cats Vol. 1 has been delayed… again. 💔

Unfortunately, we’re now looking at the third delay for Nakama Press’ upcoming Samurai Pizza Cats manga.

The release timeline so far:

➡ April 2026
➡ August 2026
➡ October 2026
➡ December 8, 2026

After Amazon recently updated my preorder with a December delivery estimate, I checked Nakama Press’ own website, which now lists December 8, 2026 as the official on-sale date. So unfortunately, this latest delay appears to be coming from the publisher and is not simply an Amazon preorder issue.

It’s definitely disappointing to see the release pushed back for a third time, especially after such a long wait already. Hopefully, December will finally be the one! 🤞

As always, I’ll continue keeping an eye on the release and will share any further updates here.

This manga can be pre-ordered as a digital download, directly through Nakama Press.

It’s wonderful to see the 35th Anniversary continuing to bring us brand new official merchandise. Between the upcoming game, graphic novel, home video announcements, and now a full-size plush line, there’s never been a better time to be a Samurai Pizza Cats fan. 🐱🍕

Which one would you bring home first?

Personally, I feel my first purchase is going to be Polly. Provided Francine doesn’t become available any time soon. 💚
