Megahouse is starting 2022 with jam-packed news of products releasing later this year!

If you're new to the brand and have never heard of Megahouse then welcome! Megahouse is a major Japanese toy manufacturer and BANDAI Group company. Originally founded in 1962 as Kaken, the company was purchased by BANDAI and merged with BANDAI subsidiaries Angel and B-AI in 1997 to become MegaHouse.

The origin of the company name is a combination of the acronym Mega, Make (produce) Enjoy (enjoy) Global (worldwide Ability (talent), and House, which likens the company to a family community. And, as the word mega itself means “huge,” MegaHouse also reflects the company’s philosophy to provide dreams to our customers through its imagination and adventurous spirit.

They create amazing collectibles featuring some of the most popular IP's around such as Bleach, Naruto, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Sailor Moon, Gundam, Digimon, and many more! Their collectibles range from highly-detailed statues, adorable charms/keychains, customizable figures, and miniature figures.

Tamashii Nations has announced three exciting new products from Macross Frontier (two from their PROPLICA line and one from their Chogokin line) that is a MUST pre-order for fans and collectors. Let us take a look at these collectibles! 

"Figures: they move us to the core. Cool, fun, amazing, scary, sorrowful... The feelings we get from figures can change from moment to moment, but the one thing they all have in common is soul — or tamashii.

Tamashii Nations is a place for products with tamashii instilled by Japanese master craftsmen. Based in Asakusa, Tokyo, we make fully-assembled figures for collectors, as a division of Japan's top toymaker, Bandai. Ten years have passed since the brand was established in 2007, and the products are now sold in twenty countries around the world. In 2016 we started the Tamashii Nations World Tour a series of events touring ten cities worldwide.

Moved by our love for figures and characters, we pursue a uniqueness that cannotbe found elsewhere by bringing tamashii to the world."

Up first are Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee microphones from PROPLICA. These two products (each sold separately) are faithful life-sized 1/1 scale props as seen in the anime. Both microphones feature accurate sculpting, coloring, and distinctive decorations. Swap to dialogue mode  and play back some of their famous lines, which you can enjoy on their own or during songs. Use the instrumental mode to jump in with your own lyrics whenever you want to take over either of their parts. You can also combine both microphones for duet mode. 

*This product does not have a voice amplification function.* This product contains a jack that allows it to be connected to an external speaker device.
