BellFine just confirmed that Karamaru’s finished prototype will be revealed at the Shizuoka Hobby Show… and yeah, I’m STOKED. 😭💚
They’re debuting it at one of the biggest model/figure events in Japan, Shizuoka Hobby Show 2026.
For anyone keeping score:
✔ Yattaro model kit — confirmed, preorders starting
✔ Toritsukkun — INCLUDED (already a massive win)
✔ Karamaru — fully completed prototype ready for public reveal
Let that sink in for a second…
We’re not getting one-off nostalgia bait.
We’re getting a LINEUP.
And honestly? This is HUGE.
Karamaru has been criminally underrepresented in modern merch for YEARS. Outside of older Bandai-era releases, he’s basically been sitting in villain jail… and now?
👉 He’s getting a proper, modern, articulated figure
👉 With BellFine’s level of detail
👉 And likely the same love they’re giving Yattaro
This is the kind of momentum that turns “hey, remember this show?” into
“oh… we’re doing a full comeback, aren’t we?”
Between the upcoming game, new figures, and companies actually investing in the brand again…
Yeah.
We’re not imagining it anymore.
