Exciting New Additions to Takara Tomy's Kata-zun Line

Takara Tomy’s Kata-zun line is renowned for its silly-but-adorable designs and high-quality. 

 

Kata-zun are easily recognized from their iconic pose. In English these are often referred to as "sleepy" but Kata-zun is more like "dere" referring more to a situation then just "sleepy". Anyone who watches anime has seen it, when an overly exhausted character feels comfortable enough around someone that they give in and pass out; their head landing on the shoulder of their companion. The kata-zun line, while they can stand on their own, is made to be paired with another so it leans sleepily against them.

The latest additions are set to captivate fans with a diverse range of themesbranching away from anime. The new releases include some of the most beloved characters from popular Disney franchises, promising to add a fresh and exciting dimension to the Kata-zun collection.

The figures are designed with impressive detail for these small toys.

3. Minions Series

The summer has seen more Kata-zun additions in the past couple months featuring World Trigger, Alice in Wonderland, and the particularly hilarious Jurassic World set.
