Japanese toy brand 1000toys has announced new articulated figures from the 2D side-scrolling action game "Cuphead," featuring both "Cuphead" and "Mugman." This article will focus on the product details for the "Cuphead" figure, which is slated for release in February 2022.
Developed by Studio MDHR, the run-and-gun game "Cuphead" centers on the titular brothers, Cuphead and Mugman, who lose their souls in a gamble with the Devil. Indebted, they are forced to do the Devil's bidding, embarking on a life-or-death "debt collection" mission. The game is renowned for its retro cartoon aesthetic, old television static effects, and notoriously high difficulty. Despite its charmingly cute visuals, the sheer volume of enemy projectiles is staggering! Players must hone their precise dodging skills to defeat bosses and clear stages with minimal health.
This new "Cuphead" action figure from 1000toys stands approximately 13.5 cm (5.3 inches) tall and is crafted from ABS, PVC, and POM. While faithfully recreating Cuphead's in-game appearance, the figure boasts extensive articulation. Paired with interchangeable hand parts—including fists, open hands, and shooting poses—collectors can recreate dynamic running and attacking stances. Two interchangeable eye parts are also included, allowing for various emotional expressions, whether he's happily strolling or locked onto an enemy. Official images also show that the straw can be rotated and adjusted.
