Banpresto announce Part 6 figurine!
Japanese toy company Banpresto have announced the latest entry in their long line of Master Stars Piece Lupin III figurines - and it’s based on the Part 6 design!
Typically releasing new figurines alongside each major new work in the Lupin III series, Banpresto have made countless statues based on the gang over the years.
These have improved with quality over time, and most recently have covered both Part 5 and The First - the latter of which featured both Lupin and Fujiko sporting their 3DCG character design styles and outfits.
Now, it appears the toy giant will be taking on the recently announced Part 6, which celebrates the original 1971 television series’ 50th anniversary. Just like Part I did all the way back in 1971, it is due to begin airing during the month of October.
A brief feature list from BigBadToyStore can be found below:
Approximately 10 inches (25cm)
Made of plastic
From the Lupin the III anime series
Highly detailed
Non articulated
For comparisons sake, check the gallery below to see a side-by-side of the Banpresto Part I figurine (first image), the Cagliostro figurine (second image), and the upcoming Part 6 figurine (third and final image).
A release date for the figurine, and potential others in the series, are due to be announced at a later date.
Banpresto typically continue to release their Master Stars Piece models after a series or film has aired - so we might see plenty more as we move further into the future, if we are lucky!
Huge thanks to Roy and Dario for bringing this news to our attention.
