Casio celebrates the G-Shock's 25th anniversary with a trio of cool figures
by Brian Szabelski on 01/04/2009 2 comments

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Casio's G-Shock line of watches. To help celebrate that fact, Casio has rolled out a new set of characters designed by Shiro Nakano. Even cooler, though, is that they've made figures based on these characters, complete with poseable arms, and sent them to retailers across Japan for their display cases. I absolutely love the designs, and apparently, so do much of the Japanese collecting community, who have been reportedly drooling over these figures since they were first unveiled, and I certainly can't blame them. 

The bad news? These guys aren't in production commercially, since they're being used for store displays. That makes me a sad panda, because these figures are so cool, I'd definitely fork my money over to Casio for them. However, keep an eye on good old eBay, because I have a sneaking suspicion a set of these figures may end up on there eventually.
