Look, Astro Bot may just be the best mascot PlayStation's ever had, and you only need to look at how much merch there is of the little guy to see that.
The little robot platforming hero adorns various T-shirts, mugs, and accessories, but he's also perfect for toys, as we've already seen with various figurines.
Well, that trend continues with yet more figures, this time smaller ones that come in surprise packages.
Produced by Good Smile Company, you can now order Nendoroid Astro Bot blind boxes, so named because the toy inside is randomly selected from a set of six designs.
While you can try your luck and buy them individually, you can also order the entire set to ensure you get one of everything.
The set of figures includes three of Astro himself in various poses, with the other three being the "normal" bots you rescue throughout the PS5 platformer.
These are only 70mm tall (just under three inches) and they're adorable, as you'd expect.
The figures also come with some surprise extra parts, also randomised; these include things from the game like the checkpoint icon, a treasure box, a coin, and PlayStation face buttons.
The box with all six figures retails for ¥10,800, which is approximately $70 or about £50.
Will you be nabbing any of these Astro Bot figurines for your kids (or your desk)? Tell us in the comments section below.

I've long held a strict "no plastic tat" policy in my house, so no.
@Steeleye25 I got that plush for my kids last weekend. They were away for the weekend and I swear, they haven’t been so happy to see a toy in forever.
There OK, but they're no amiibo. 😎

These are really cute, especially the accessories. I'm still hoping the CultureFly figures continue as well. There are still power ups they haven't done yet 😁
These would look great on my gaming shelves says 41 year old me 😁
The fact Sony won't go all in on Astro is nothing short of tragic. Astro 'could' sell 10s of millions is various forms if Sony/Herman/every idiot thats a C-Suite there had a clue. I miss Shu and Shawn quite a bit. And lets not forget even though Herman couldnt identify a dumpster fire if he lived and ate in said dumpster- it was that utter nutsack Jim Ryan who rolled the ball. Look, its just games right? But all of the big 3 do some immensely stupid stuff and they still break revenue records in perpetuity. Im incredibly thankful that so many games have been made that if I never buy a new one im still set til I either leave the hobby or drop dead lol.

I found like a deluxe Astro Bot figure at Target (Youtooz). It was a really cool find. I think they do a whole line with different PS characters.
I ordered that Youtooz Astro Bot figurine (ratchet and clank collab) which u needed a code for that was released to PSP Premium members but it hasn’t shipped yet…these a pretty cool too but not nearly as nice
He's no Sackboy
@sanderson72 I love them both a crossover would be a killer move.
@Nyne11Tyme They don't see anything besides the boring stuff. The Western only sees the same boring stuff.
Damnit! I got shoe! 🙁
@Nyne11Tyme What the hell are you on about? We only just had Astro bot less than two years ago with development on the next game happening already, plus he's been used for loads of different marketing purposes. So I don't know what you expect.
@lacerz I understood that reference!
I don't buy plastic tat or models... but I kinda want one of these on my desk.
