Cutie Honey x Cyborg 009 April Fool's Joke Is Now a Real Figure
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Japanese soft vinyl toy manufacturer Artisan Toy announced on Wednesday that the April Fool's joke Cyborg 0082, based on Gō Nagai's Cutie Honey manga and Shōtarō Ishinomori's Cyborg 009 manga, has been turned into a real soft vinyl figure.
According to the Artisan Toy, “Ishimori Productions and Dynamic Production simultaneously posted this fictional April Fool's Day creation on X [formerly Twitter], which garnered a huge response, and now it's been turned into a soft vinyl figure.” The site continues, “Cyborg 0082 was born from a casual conversation between Gō Nagai and Masato Hayase at a party, about combining Shōtarō Ishinomori's Cyborg 009 with Gō Nagai's Cutie Honey.”
Pre-orders for the Cyborg 0082 soft vinyl figure has begun on the Artisan Toy website for 17,600 yen (about US$120). The site states the figure will be available in "February 2025." However, this date appears to be a typo.
