Starting today, the Tamashii Nation 2011 figure event kicked off in Akihabara. Wrapping up on Nov. 27, the event showcases upcoming plastic figurines.
"Tamashii" means "soul" or "spirit" in Japanese, and Namco Bandai's Tamashii moniker brings that passion to toys and figurines.
On display, there were Namco Bandai toy properties like Gundam, Kamen Rider, and Dragonball.
There are new additions that weren't at this past summer's Tamashii Nation, namely characters from Senran Kagura, that 3DS booby ninja game. Who didn't see that merchandising coming from a mile away?
