Posted on November 17 2023 by Kristen G. Rosario
In a recent tweet from Japanese toy manufacturer Bandai’s Tamashii Nations division, it was revealed that the one and only Master Sword would be brought to life through their Proplica collectors line. That same post also revealed that the prototype for the replica is currently being shown at the Tamashii Nation 2023 toy expo store located in the Bellesalle Akihabara event center in Tokyo, Japan from today until November 19th. The version of the Master Sword being used for the replica is the one recently seen in Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.

While no release date or price have been revealed yet by Bandai, we are fortunate enough to have received some closer looks at the Proplica version of the Master Sword. Not only were Japanese figure retailer AmiAmi able to get footage of the prototype replica on display at the toy expo, but we also have a collection of images in the gallery below of the prototype if you want to see more of the Proplica.
