Welcome to this weeks edition of Monkey News, the news roundup for everything Lupin III!
Lupin III: The First Master Stars figurine announced!
Japanese toy company Banpresto are updating their Master Stars range of figurines to include characters from the upcoming 3DCG film, Lupin III: The First!
So far, only Lupin himself is up for pre-order. As previous Master Stars line-ups included multiple characters, we would expect the 3DCG versions of the rest of the gang to follow suit. As always, the quality of Banpresto’s Lupin III figurines is, these days, very high!
The deadline for orders is around the end of this month, so act fast if you want to pick one up! The figurine itself will officially release early 2020. Alternatively, if in Japan at around that time, do keep an eye on the various crane games scattered around as you may well be in with the chance of winning one!
We cannot wait to see the finished version - expect him to release next year, in early 2020!
Lupin III: The First teams up with Dunhill!
Lupin III: The First is teaming up with luxury British clothing brand Dunhill!
To celebrate the films launch on the 6th of December, a special visual has been produced that features the 3DCG versions of Lupin, Jigen and Goemon sporting outfits from Dunhill's latest collection. Looking sharp, lads!
Check out a high-quality version of the poster below and be sure to visit their website for more details.
After seeing this, I think I could do without a brown jacket Lupin… it ain’t working for you, bud!
Lupin and company are making a stand!
New Lupin III "PART IV" acrylic stands are to be released in Japan on October 18th!
The set of five stands will be on sale exclusively at the HUMAX cinema in Ikebukuro.
Each one costs ¥ 1320 (tax included) and stock is reported to be limited, so act quickly if you want to snag them!
Part IV's bold colour scheme works well here, the stands are eye popping!
More Lupin III: The First posters are going up around Japan!
This week on poster-watch, our journey takes us an unnamed cinema location in Japan. Avertisements for the film are going up around the cinema - we suspect more will follow suit as we run up to the film's release in December!
Big thanks to Twitter user きみよし for the photo!
We will never get tired of seeing this poster - roll on December!
