While we were at the 2011 New York Toy Fair, we were on the hunt for new toys. And, we wanted to bring you things that you may not see anywhere else.
Bandai’s Tatumi fits the bill. It’s new, it’s not coming out until sometime this Fall, and we think it will be creating a bit of buzz when it does.
The dolls themselves have a little bit of an edge to them while holding on to a cute styling. Check out the gallery below, and, I think you’ll see what I mean.
Here’s the info and pricing from the press release :
