Wave Sega Astro City Arcade Machine 1/12 Scale Model: Virtua Pocket Fighter
Back in January we checked out Akira and Sarah Figma action figures based on their appearance in the first Virtua Fighter. One of the figure’s product shots showed the characters playing on an equally tiny arcade machine, specifically the legendary Sega Astro City. The scale model is not bundled with the figures because it’s from a different toy company, but it’s now available for pre-order.
The 6″ Astro City is the latest in toy maker Wave’s line of 1/12 scale arcade machines called the Memorial Game Collection. This edition comes with three sets of video game stickers for the banner and screen: Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers and Die Hard Arcade.
Insert about $23 (USD) on Amiami to order the tiny arcade machine.

Figma Virtua Fighter Akira & Sarah: Attack the Block
Goodsmile continues its run of unorthodox Figma action figures with its latest releases. They’re figures of Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant in their hilariously awful polygonal bodies from the original Virtua Fighter.
They look ugly now, but – eh, let’s face it. Virtua Fighter was ugly even when it first came out. Fortunately, the arcade hit’s third dimension was more than just for show. It brought along new camera angles and axes and a smooth and fast pace to its genre. So it’s only right that they get homages like this. Both figures come with a standard and a shouting expression, interchangeable hands and an articulated stand.
You can order the action figures from Goodsmile for about $38 (USD) each. Sadly, the arcade machine in the top picture is not included with either figure. Akira and Sarah’s Player 2 costume variants will be available later this year. If Figmas of the FF 7 chibi avatars come out I’m going to become a homeless guy with a really cool toy collection.
