Playmobil Naruto Shippuden Part 1: The Kids Are Alright


Playmobil Naruto Shippuden Naruto 006
We get premium love from our friends at PLAYMOBIL, and that means TOY PHOTOSHOOTS!! The folks at Playmobil have always put out really impressive playsets with many a character to populate a scene and spark a tiny imagination, but when they dipped into licensed properties with GHOSTBUSTERS and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, hardcore collectors sat up and took notice! Now, we sit in wait every year for new license announcements, anxious to see what TV show or Movie will get Playmobilified. And really, it's anyone's guess what will come next, as they've released Back to the Future, Scooby-Doo, Star Trek and Knight Rider sets back-to-back. Unpredictability is Playmobil's best weapon! Let's face it, the company that announces a Magnum P.I. set can make anything.

Good Smile's Nendoroids Recruit Naruto's Gaara & Overwatch's Junkrat

Good Smile Naruto Gaara Nendoroid figure 01
Asian toy companies know what their fans want....lil kidified versions of their favorite,  badass anime and video game characters! If that character is usually homicidal, then the transformation to short emo kid makes it all the more satisfying. Good Smile Company's Nendoroids tick off all those boxes and more. This is one crew we are sure not to miss when we hit the floor at New York Comic Con, as their toy lineup is always surprising and excellently executed. Now they build up the ranks of their Nendoroid army with one psycho from Naruto...and..well..another psycho from Overwatch!
