Sanrio Character Friends 4 Figures Wear Halloween Costumes
Sanrio and Bandai Namco announced one of the latest Bandai Candy figure sets is a Sanrio Characters Friends 4 collection of mascot merchandise in costumes ahead of Halloween. This is going to show up in Japan starting on September 8, 2025. Each box will cost 320円 (~$2). However, these types of items can show up on Amazon or in Asian grocery stores worldwide after launch, so it is possible we’ll see them everywhere.
As is common with these items, each one comes with a piece of gum and a small plastic figure. They are not blind box items. You will know exactly which character you will get when you find the boxes. However, it may be possible that certain ones could be more difficult to find than others.
Here’s the full list of every mascot in the Sanrio Characters Friends 4 collection of candy figures, as well as a description of their Halloween style costume.
Cinnamoroll as Cupid.
Hangyodon as a doctor.
Hello Kitty as a nurse.
Kuromi as a witch.
My Melody as a nurse.
Pochacco in a three-piece suit with cobwebs on the hat.
Pompompurin as a jester.
Tuxedosam as a ghost.
Of the eight designs, Tuxedosam is the only one that glows in the dark after being exposed to light.
Here are the official photos of all the Bandai Candy figures.

New Mai Shiranui Fatal Fury Figure Based on Her Hidden Gear
FREEing shared its Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Mai Shiranui figure based on her classic costume and Hidden Gear, and it confirmed she’ll debut in June 2026. This estimated release date is for Japan, though Good Smile Company often handles the release of that studio’s items worldwide. She will cost ￥39,600 (~$268).
This figure of the character will be larger than usual. It’s a 1/4 scale, which means it should be about 16 inches tall (~400mm). To compare, the non-standard Pop Up Parade one is just over six inches tall and Kotobukiya Bishoujo 1/7 statue is over eight inches tall.
In Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Mai Shiranui ended up with a new outfit, but her classic costume returns for her Hidden Gear attack Ouran no Mai: Akasuzumi. This figure recreates the exact pose that comes up once the attack lands and she starts to assault her opponent. There are no additional parts or accessories to adjust its appearance.
Here’s how it looks:
To compare, that exact pose comes up at about the 35 second mark of her introduction trailer for the game. So you can see it below and see how FREEing referenced that look and attack for this item.

The FREEing Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Mai Shiranui figure will debut in Japan in June 2026, and we should see it worldwide after. That game is on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Report: Take-Two Interactive Was In Talks To Save Xbox's Canceled Perfect Dark Reboot
Take-Two Interactive Software, the publisher behind Ken Levine's next game Judas , Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, and the upcoming Borderlands 4 , was in talks to save the recently canceled Perfect Dark reboot , according to a new report from Bloomberg . While Crystal Dynamics owner Embracer Group was close to striking this deal with Take-Two, negotiations ultimately failed, leading to last week's layoffs at Crystal Dynamics . Bloomberg writes that Embracer "had come close to striking a deal" with Take-Two to purchase the game from Xbox, which owned the rights, but that discussions collapsed "at least in part because the companies involved were unable to come to terms over long-term ownership of the Perfect Dark franchise," according to its sources. Unfortunately, with layoffs at Crystal Dynamics and these negotiations ending, it seems the Perfect Dark reboot is officially dead. Xbox and The Initiative, a new studio formed specifically for this game, revealed this Perfect Dark reboot in 2020 . We learned The Initiative was teaming up with Tomb Raider series developer Crystal Dynamics in 2021, and a long three years later, in 2024, we got our first look at Perfect Dark gameplay . That 2024 gameplay showing was the last we saw or heard about Perfect Dark before it was canceled in July. [Source : Bloomberg ]

Paramount And Activision Strike Deal To Make Call Of Duty Movie
In the latest "Can't believe this hasn't already happened" installment of news, a Call of Duty film is in the works. Paramount, the movie and television studio behind Top Gun: Maverick , Halo , and more, announced today that it struck a deal with Call of Duty publisher Activision to produce a live-action feature-length film. "Under this milestone partnership, Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on Call of Duty, designed to thrill its massive global fan base by delivering on the hallmarks of what fans love about the iconic series, while boldly expanding the franchise to entirely new audiences," a press release reads. "Both companies are committed to honoring the brand's rich narrative and distinctive style, promising an authentic and exciting experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike." Activision president Rob Kostich writes in the press release that this movie will "honor and expand upon what has made this franchise great in the first place" to create an "unforgettable blockbuster movie." Paramount CEO and chairman David Ellison writes, "We're approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick , ensuring it meets the exceptionally high standards this franchise and its fans deserve." There's no word on which direction this film adaptation of Call of Duty will take, but considering the game series has featured campaigns set during World War 2, the Vietnam War, riffs on the War on Terrorism, as well as fictional modern war campaigns, and stories set in the near future and far future, too, Paramount has plenty to work with. While waiting to learn more about this movie, check out Game Informer's preview of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 , and then check out the cinematic reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 , which launches on November 14 .
