So after seeing the Lucky Cat Android teaser images, I threw out some guesses as to how these would be released. And… with three guess, I was still wrong 🙂 Turns out, Shane Jessup has designed twelve different Lucky Cats (nine colors) for the Android Lucky Cat Series from Andrew Bell’s DYZ Plastic. In a break with mini-fig tradition, these cute lil’ guys will be sold in window-boxes rather than the usual blind boxes. There are three basic types – collar coin, collar bell, and ones with the Koban coin. Very cool.
These will be available soon for $10/window box from your favorite shop. Several retailers are offering pre-orders including myplasticheart who is offering the individual designs as well as cases and DeKorner and Vinyl Riot who are offering cases ($120). The Android Lucky Cats should ship in Mid-March.
