OK, it might not be as delightfully continuity-baiting as Be@rbrick Dandy, but there's good news for Space Dandy fans who prefer their figures a little more traditionally styled. After popping up at MegaHobby Expo a few months ago, Megahouse's Excellent Model versions of Dandy and Honey are now up and ready to go for pre-order.
I think they're both pretty great renditions, managing to keep most of the show's distinctive visual style while translating it into 3D. Both come with some neat alternate parts too - Honey gets a choice between straight arm or tray carrying, while Dandy can choose between his ray gun or a flick-out baton. There's alternate faces too, with Honey sporting a flirty wink and Dandy a fantastically stupid gurn.
It must be said though that you'll pay the price for such good looks. Dandy will retail for a hefty ¥9,000, with Honey inexplicably coming in a shade more expensive at ¥9,250. Both are due to land towards the end of October. I'm pretty tempted by Dandy myself, although I know plenty of people who'll be putting down money for a classic bit of anime cheesecake in Honey. What about you readers, who's your preferred cosmic collectible?
