Wow.

Random related note not many will care about so I saved it for a comment: This is definitely the nail in the coffin that is the D-Arts line. Between Lucario and some new version of God Eater's Alisa being announced as SHFs and now the Mario reveal, D-Arts is dead. Or at least has been absorbed by the Figuarts label. Shouldn't change much except perhaps greater trust in the name. And hopefully better QC.

And one many should care about: This has been getting teased for a few weeks now by Bluefin Tamashii Nations - the American distributor for these products. Seeing as they can't even acknowledge the existence of the Pokémon figures due to licensing... that is a fantastic sign that this will get an American release.

Which is good because I've already got a ton of things preordered for May heh...
