SanokalFirstly, Mega Hobby EXPO 2026 was held in Japan on the 26th of September, 2026, with several new figurines on exhibition.
Prototypes of AMAKUNI's Evil★Twin Kis-skil and Evil★Twin Lil-la figures announced over two years ago were on display. There is still no release date for them.
Coloured prototypes were also on display for AMAKUNI's Jaden Yuki and Yubel figurines.

Neither figurine has a release date announced, but pre-orders have opened for AMAKUNI's Jaden/Yubel figurine (aka Jaden from Season 4 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX having fused his spirit with Yubel's). It includes a Winged Kuriboh, interchangeable face parts to depict him using Yubel's powers and interchangeable hand and arm parts for different poses, including his signature "That's game!/Gotcha!" pose.
