<p>Nintendo has enjoyed a great deal of success with its Amiibo toy figure line. Those hoping for something similar for PlayStation&#8217;s franchises are in luck, as a variety of well-known characters are set to be turned into figurines&#8211;albeit ones without any Amiibo-style in-game functionality.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As revealed on GameStop&#8217;s <a href="https://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-totaku,28zu0" rel="nofollow">website</a> and the video below from the Spanish branch of retailer Game, at least seven different figures are coming in March as part of a new Totaku Collection line. These measure in at 10 cm (about 4 inches) and are described as &#8220;a unique series of highly detailed figurines from video game franchises past and present.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">And indeed, they feature more modern titles along with some older PlayStation 1 classics. This first wave of figures includes <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/bloodborne/">Bloodborne</a>&#8216;s hunter, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/god-of-war/">God of War</a>&#8216;s Kratos, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/littlebigplanet-3/">LittleBigPlanet</a>&#8216;s Sackboy, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy/">Crash Bandicoot</a>, and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/parappa-the-rapper/">PaRappa the Rapper</a>. We also get one that isn&#8217;t technically a character&#8211;<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/wipeout-omega-collection-vr/">Wipeout</a>&#8216;s FX350 ship&#8211;and another that isn&#8217;t explicitly from PlayStation-exclusive games in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/tekken-7/">Tekken</a>&#8216;s Heihachi. You can see all of these in the gallery below.</p>

<p dir="ltr">In both the US and Spain, the figures will be available on March 23. In the US, they&#8217;re priced at $10 a pop and will be available exclusively through GameStop and Think Geek. That makes them slightly cheaper than the MSRP of an Amiibo figure, although again, these can&#8217;t be scanned or used to unlock things in games.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There&#8217;s no word yet on when or if additional figures will also be released. </p>
