More Kirby than you can inhale

Wonder Con 2018, held in Chiba, Japan last weekend, brought a selection of fun new toys for Kirby fans, courtesy of adorability enthusiastsGood Smile Co.

First up, the toy manufacturer revealed that Nintendo’s ever-hungry blob would be receiving a new Nendoroid. Concept art appeared to depict Kirby in his Beam form, sporting yellow colouring and complete with his jester crown and wand. Too cute.

If that wasn’t enough, then prototype models of four Corocoroid capsule toys were on display, featuring Kirby in multiple iterations, taken from his extensive catalogue of classic titles. WhileDreamLandKirby,Super StarKirby,Kirby’s AdventureKirby andStar AlliesKirby were all present and correct, there was sadly no sign of “Badass Western Localisation Kirby”, sporting his trademark frown and open mouth.

No details were released as to the price or release dates of any of the above items. No doubtGood Smilewill let us all know when pre-orders open closer to release.
