Nekobusou features various types of cat figures in different machines. Unfortunately, the cats appear not to be posable. As a consolation, the cat can be mix-and-match with the any machine as long as the cat can fit inside it. Bandai “Nekobusou” Armed Cats action figures debuted at a hobby show in Japan a few days ago where they are presumably available at the show itself.
