Bandai/Bandai Spirits - New for 2022

[JimoAi]

New from Bandai. I believe these are larger; more 'Incredible Creatures' sized rather than 'gashapon' sized, but not sure

They're in the middle.

[Isidro]

Wow, first figure ever of a tody, whole new family for toy market? Pacific parrotlet and Ural owl must be at least rare too, if not entirely new.

[bmathison1972]

I was considering the tody depending on how big it is

[endogenylove]

Ural owl has been made by kaiyodo, but the pacific parrotlet has only ever been made in another of these sets I believe

Yup. I was aware, just didn't have static pics to share. I'll probably get the Golofa and Cheirotonus.

Edit: @Halichoeres - those are actually 2023; I created a post with an image in the New For 2023 child board! Thanks!

Does anyone know where to get these stands, if they're even still available?

I've never paid attention to whether these were available on their own but even if not I'd imagine the best way to find unwanted ones would be searching on Japanese sites.

If interested, please PM with your e-mail address and I'll respond with a paste detailing how we work and will ask my source to do so.

Thanks.

That link is for a set of bases (only). They did release a set of just bases. More often lately, their figures are not coming with bases; they probably added this product for customers that really want bases.

@TheOwl98 - I have extra bases if you need some. I don't display most of my Diversity of Life figures on bases, so I can probably give/sell you some. Are you in the US? You can PM me for more info.
Please note, however, mine are the original bases created from the gashapon capsule, not the ones shown in your link above. See my wasp pics in the Diversity thread to see what I mean.
