Shopping Guide
Bandai’s official online store, Premium Bandai, is about to launch the latest in its series of palm-sized figures in the form of the partner to Tiger & Bunny’s hero Kotetsu - Barnaby Brooks Jr. Tiger & Bunny is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its TV broadcast and the “Palmate Extra Tiger & Bunny Barnaby Brooks Jr.” figure features Bunny himself relaxing in a seated position. The figure will retail for 6,048 yen (excluding tax, shipping, and handling fees) and pre-orders are set to begin from July 1 at 1:00 pm.
For the second in this Palmate Extra series, Barnaby has taken off his trademark leather jacket and is posed in an appropriately laidback style. With a nagging smile in contrast to his regular “on duty” stern expression, Barnaby is fully recreated right down to his bracelet, ring, belt and long boots.
You can relax a little with Barnaby sitting next to you on the desk or just anywhere else you’d like to enjoy some of his cool vibes. If you put him together with the first Palmate Extra - Kotetsu, you can recreate the famous superhero combo and gaze at them whilst they take a much-needed break from fighting crime live on TV. Don’t forget, Kotetsu is still up for preorder until July 7!

About the Palmate Series
Palmate is MegaHouse’s collection of palm-sized figures designed with the idea of bringing the characters closer to you. The figures measure a compact 8 centimeters, and so far Ace of Diamond, Yowamushi Pedal Grande Road, Osomatsu-san, and Tiger & Bunny have all been featured in the lineup. The name perfectly reflects the series’ origins by bringing together the “palm” for palm-sized and “mate” for friend.
