Kotobukiya will re-release its figure of Lio Fotia from Promare. It’ll cost 16,500 JPY ($107.75), and it’ll come out some time in October 2024. [Thanks, Figure Times!]

The Promare Lio figure from Kotobukiya first came out in October 2020. That was around less than a year after the movie’s initial release. The figure is available in the Kotobukiya Online Shop, which only offers delivery within Japan. Those outside of Japan may want to purchase it from stores like AmiAmi. Incidentally, you can save almost 3000 JPY if you order it from AmiAmi. It’s offering the figure for around 13,860 JPY, which is approximately $90.70.

The figure shows Lio holding his Burnish fire in his hand, with flames around his feet as the base as well. It’s a 1/7 scale figure and stands at approximately 247 millimeters tall. Because of the way that his hair is around his head, it can be a little hard to see his eyes. You might be able to adjust this based on how you position the figure in your display.

Promare came out in 2019, with Studio Trigger and XFLAG producing it. Hiroyuki Imaishi directed it. The movie focuses on Galo, a firefighter from Burning Rescue, and Lio, who is the leader of the Burnish terrorist group, Mad Burnish. Burnish are humans who developed pyrokinetic abilities after a mass spontaneous human combustion event, the Great World Blaze.

The Promare Lio Fotia figure re-release is open for pre-order and it’ll come out in October 2024.

XFLAG has launched Star Smash, a new cooperative smash action game featuring Disney characters, on mobile devices in Japan on November 16, 2020. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

The main gameplay segment involves launching balls by tapping with good timing to destroy waves of enemies. A player can set a deck comprised of characters from various Disney titles, such as The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Winnie The Pooh, and Big Hero 6. The game can be played in single-player or multiplayer with up to 4 players, and it also has an original storyline that can be read with episodic manga releases.

Star Smash has its main characters designed by Oh! great, who is most known for Air Gear and also worked on character costumes in the Tekken series. They are also voiced by a stellar cast of Japanese voice actors. The protagonist of the title is Yuu, who is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka. He forms a group called Red Braves with Shin (voiced by Ayumu Murase), Kohya (Katsuyuki Konishi), and Kei (Nao Touyama).

XFLAG has also prepared a Star Smash commercial movie featuring the theme song "Stardom" by Mrs. Green Apple that will start airing on Japanese television on November 17, 2020. This video, which shows a sneak peek of the gameplay as well as the Disney characters which are drawn in anime style, is also immediately available to watch on the game's official YouTube channel:
