A small schedule update for collectors: BellFine’s 1/12 scale Yattaro & Toritsukkun plastic model kit has been delayed by one month.

The kit was previously scheduled for release in August 2026, but BellFine’s updated release information now lists September 2026.

At this time, no specific reason for the delay has been announced, and a specific date hasn’t been disclosed. The listed price remains ¥8,140 (tax included).

It’s disappointing to see Yattaro slip after getting this close to release, but a one-month delay is thankfully fairly minor. Hopefully the extra time helps ensure everything is ready for a smooth launch, and that September 2026 sticks. ❤💙🤍

For anyone who already has the kit preordered, keep an eye on your retailer or proxy for any updated shipping information.

Action Toys’ Kyatto Ninden Teyandee / Samurai Pizza Cats prototypes were recently spotted on display again at ACGHK 2026, offering a welcome sign that the long-silent project has not disappeared. 😍

The lineup includes:

• Yattaro

• Pururun

• Sukashii

• Karamaru

• Otama

• Omitsu

• Tokugawa Usako

One notable absence from last year’s display is Ko’on no Kami. No evidence, either way, whether this was an intentional omission.

One especially interesting detail is that the new display cards differ from those shown with the prototypes last year.

The previous signage explicitly indicated that approval was pending. That wording is no longer present on the ACGHK 2026 cards.

The figures are still marked 監修中, meaning they remain under supervision or review, so this should not be taken as confirmation that production has been approved. Action Toys has also not announced pricing, preorders, or a release date.

Still, the updated signage and the prototypes’ return to public display are encouraging. At the very least, the project appears to remain active rather than having been quietly abandoned.

The dream is not dead yet. 🤍❤💙

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! 🤍💙❤
