The first ever Tamashii Nations Pop-up Spot has opened in the Philippines. Located at the ground floor of Robinsons Magnolia mall in Quezon City, the one-stop destination for action figure, mecha collectors, and anime fans opened last Thursday March 6 and will run until March 16. The pop-up is free for all attendees who want to see exclusive displays and dioramas of action figures and collectibles, special exhibits, and event-only merchandise from Bandai’s various collectible brands.
Mecha and giant robot fans will see the evolution of the Chogokin lineup which is celebrating its 50th anniversary at the Road to Chogokin exhibit. The centerpiece of the Chogokin exhibit is none other than the Voltes V line of figures from the classic Voltes V up to Voltes V: Legacy. Cast members such as Matt Lozano (Big Bert), Raphael Landicho (Little Jon), Epy Quizon (General Zuhl), Gabby Eigenmann (Commander Robinson), Jamie Wilson (Garth), and director Mark A. Reyes of the Voltes V: Legacy show were present at the pop-up’s opening and signed the exhibit area wall as well as some Voltes V figures and merchandise of a few lucky fans. A prototype of the Voltes V: Legacy Chogokin figure is also on display.
Over to the Jump Character Series Zone, fans can see the latest action figures from Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto. Other characters were on display as well from the S.H.Figuarts series. Spotted were the latest figures from the Spider-Verse animated movie series and Kamen Rider series. Naruto fans can see the life-sized Naruto Uzumaki statue based on the S.H.Figuarts figure.
To complete the Tamashii Nations experience, visitors can also check out the pop-up store where they can buy various figures and other exclusive merchandise as well as limited-edition premiums.
