Bandai New Pokemon Model Kit Lets You Build a Tepig

Bandai announced its next Pokemon model kit will involve Tepig. It will be the 14th one in the Quick line. It will cost ¥715 (~$5.23) when it debuts in May 2023 in Japan. The selling point for the Quick collection of Pokemon model kit is that they are quick and easy to assemble. No glue is required and, while you could use a nipper, no tools are necessary. As this is a simple kit, all resulting figures in this line tend to not feature any points of articulation. For example, the official site shows both runners in this kit and how it is assembled from 20 pieces. Here’s a closer look at all the promotional pictures Bandai shared on the official site.

There’s only a Japanese announcement and release date for the Tepig Pokemon Model Kit Quick. However, this line of kits is sold worldwide. For example, Amazon lists ones like the Pikachu, Eevee, and Scorbunny variants in-stock at the time of writing, all for around or under $10 each. GameStop also sells the larger Bandai Magikarp model kit. The instructions also feature English text or letters and numbers with pictures for assembly purposes. The Pokemon Model Kit Quick Tepig variant will appear in Japan in May 2023.
