History Toys / Figma

The first Figma was a special edition LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya based on and bundled with the [=PS2=] game, ''Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi''. It was released on January 31, 2008 with the product code SP 001. In 2008, the first mass produced figma, Yuki Nagato from the same series was released. Since then, the line has covered a plethora of popular anime including ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', as well as other franchises like ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', ''Anime/{{Fireball}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Robocop}}'' (yes you did read that right).
