“NARUTO”
STATUES AND COLLECTIBLES COMING SOON FROM TOYNAMI
Sherman
Oaks, CA – Toynami is very pleased to announce that
it has acquired the license to create figurines, statues
and collectibles based on the smash new anime sensation
NARUTO, currently airing in Cartoon Network.
NARUTO,
created by Masashi Kishim
oto, made its debut as manga in the pages of SHONEN JUMP,
and quickly became the most popular ninja manga in Japan.
NARUTO tells the story of a young ninja-in-training who
battles his mischievous nature while attending the Ninja
Academy, determined to become the greatest ninja in the
world and eventually lead his village.
“We’re
very excited to start bringing NARUTO’s fantastic
characters to life in three dimensions,” said Toynami
President George Sohn. “I’ve been watching the
episodes, and I’m already addicted!"
Toynami
plans to create collectible and limited-edition statues,
and the company’s trademark bookends and more! More
details on the product line and pricing information will
be released soon.

What’s
up with the Voltron delays?
Probably
the most-asked question at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con
was just that: “When’s the Voltron Masterpiece
coming out? What’s taking so long?” We hear
you, and trust us, we’re just as impatient to get
the final product as you are. Here’s the scoop: Midway
through our normal quality control process, we elected to
make further changes to the tooling so as to improve the
overall transformability, which has unfortunately caused
a delay in production. An exact release date can’t
be given at present, but we expect to see it by the end
of the year.
We
understand that the delays are frustrating, but we’d
rather take a little more time and deliver the best product
we possibly can. In the meantime,
here are
some new images of the proto-type.
Thanks
for your continued patience.
