Every month we track what the Japanese manufacturers have actually announced — figures, model kits, trading card sets and game collectibles with a confirmed release date. This is the September 2026 edition, covering releases dated September and October 2026. Every line below links to the public announcement it came from; anything we could not source, we left out.
Before you read on: we do not sell new or pre-order items. HD Toys Japan is a secondhand specialist — every piece we stock is a single, already-released, pre-owned item sourced and inspected in Japan. This guide exists because knowing what is being released tells you which earlier versions, re-issues and related pieces are worth hunting on the secondhand market right now. Nothing listed below is for sale here.

Why New Releases Matter If You Buy Secondhand
A new announcement rarely exists in isolation. It usually means the same character or line has been released before — an older sculpt, a different colourway, a Japan-only convention version, or the previous set in the same series. Those earlier pieces only exist on the secondhand market, and interest in them tends to move when a new version is announced. We are not going to tell you what anything will be worth; we are telling you where the earlier versions live so you can look at them yourself.
When you put an older release next to the newly announced one, three things decide whether they are really comparable: when the older piece was first released, who it was manufactured by (the same character is often produced under several licences), and whether the box still carries its first-print insert or booklet. Those are the details we inspected and photographed on every item in our own stock, because they are the ones a hands-on buyer would check in person.

Looking for a Version We Do Not Have Listed?
Our catalogue is whatever we physically hold, so the exact variant you want may not be on the site today. Tell us which release you are after — series, character, year, version — on our sourcing request page, and we will look for it through our Japanese supply channels. You can also browse the demand catalogue to see the series we actively source. Again: we look for released, secondhand pieces — we do not take pre-orders for the new items listed above.
If You End Up Buying More Than One Piece
A practical note, because it comes up every time a new wave is announced and collectors start hunting older versions: our shipping is charged per parcel, by the total weight of the order — not per item. Everything you check out in one cart leaves Tokyo as one tracked parcel, with one tracking number and a single customs entry. Ordering three pieces in three separate checkouts means three parcels and three shipping charges; the same three pieces in one cart are weighed together and charged once.
That is simply how the rates are calculated — there is no promotion attached to it, and the exact amount for your address is always shown at checkout before you pay. The full rate table and worked examples are on our shipping consolidation guide.
