Right now, you should be listening to Random Access Memories. With the new album being released today, you can add to your Daft Punk collection with now open pre-orders for their S.H. Figuarts. Granted, orders are open today on the Bandai Premium Web Shop, but they'll be making their tour dates in North America soon enough.
With the pre-orders going up, we do have some information on their actual release. As was noted before, they will be released this October. The pair of figures now has a price, that being ¥4,725 each. Yes, that means the figures are being sold separately. You'll have to shell out that amount for both Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter apiece. As to why you wouldn't want them in a two-pack, I have no idea. However, this may not be the case when the figures make their way outside of Japan, but there's zero confirmation behind that.
If you can't wait for orders to appear in the U.S. or simply live outside North America, you'll have to find a proxy or go through one of Bandai's global dealers. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to listening to the album and waiting for these guys to pop up on Amazon.
