Bandai have announced two new action figure kits arriving later this year in the Star Wars line. This kit format is a cross between Action Figures and an Airfix model, requiring you to build the action figure from a set of sprued parts - including customisable options, different parts, and the option to use the included base colours, stickers, and decals - or to use your own paint job.
The 1/12 kits will continue on from The Mandalorian releases, with a new 6-inch scaled kit of Boba in his re-armoured gear from Season 2. It will feature alternative hand options, an unmasked unpainted head. soft good elements to the robes as well as both of Fett's blasters.
We will then be able to build two new versions of Grogu, one in 1/12 scale in his hoverpram, and a larger 1/4 scale version. These are part of the same set, a format we saw a few years ago with their Yoda figure kit. The larger quarter-scale Grogu will come with four individual face plates - including one eating a frog - and there are also alternative ears
The smaller Grogu is in scale with their 1/12 Mandalorian (as seen in the images but not included) and will include a closed lid option in the build.
Both of these releases are listed as arriving in July 2022. As these are not licensed for distribution outside of the Far East market you will need to look for an import option or use the secondary market to purchase.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
