Toy makers Bandai Spirits and Takara Tomy announced a surprise collaboration at the Tokyo Toy Show last weekend. The two companies will team up to make toys from each other's signature mecha franchises: Bandai Spirits will recreate the Liger Zero from Zoids under its Chogokin line, while Takara Tomy will recreate the White Base from Mobile Suit Gundam as a Tomica.

Before the toys go on sale in 2023, the Tamashii Nations Store Tokyo and Tomica Shop Tokyo stores will exhibit them to the public, starting from late July.
