Rounding up the offerings seen at Jump Festa and at other events this month.

Starting with the product seen at Jump Festa, Megahouse had a ton of their Monster Figure Collection figure prototypes on display at Jump Festa this month.

Their Yu-Gi-Oh! GX range prototypes were on display again: Elemental HERO Flame Wingman, Ancient Gear Golem, and Yubel.

The final Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS prototype was also on display: The Arrival Cyberse @Ignister (Borreload Dragon and Accesscode Talker have both been released).

As were their next range of Yu-Gi-Oh! prototypes. Dark Magician and Silent Magician have been on display previously, but as far as I can remember this is the first time we’ve seen their Valkyrion the Magna Warrior prototype.

Speaking of Silent Magician, the coloured prototype of the ART WORKS MONSTERS figurine was also on display, confirming its more…revealing attire.

Yu-Gi-Oh! figures were on display at Wonder Festival 2025 Winter last weekend, including new offerings and old.

From Revoltech, a prototype poseable figure of “Dark” Zane Truesdale/”Hell Kaiser” Ryo Marufuji was on display alongside the already released Kaiyoudo Cyber Dragon.

No details were released, but if the image and previous GX figures are anything to go by, the Duel Disk is likely removable and foldable.

Celebrating a new collaboration between Konami and Texan-based pop culture collectable company Mondo.

Konami have announced that Yu-Gi-Oh! will be collaborating with Mondo, an Austin, Texas-based producer of pop-culture posters and collectibles, and to celebrate, they are holding Duelist Dreams, a launch party event at the Funko Hollywood retail store (6201 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles) on the 21st of February, 2025 from 7-10 pm PST.

Tickets cost $80 USD and all attendees will receive an exclusive Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon screen printed poster by Mondo (24 x 35 in./60 x 88.9 cm). This poster must be collected in person, as Mondo will not be shipping it. Additionally, they will receive a swag bag containing a Yu-Gi-Oh! Funko Pop! figure, pin, Duel Links token chip, and Master Duel sleeves.

The event will have special guests, art/screen printing demos, drawings for other Yu-Gi-Oh! merchandise, and the opportunity to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection ahead of its release a week later. There will also be reveals of upcoming Mondo Yu-Gi-Oh! products – like the above pictured $155.00 USD Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon soft vinyl figure – and the opportunity to purchase other products: three more screen prints (Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician, and Red-Eyes Black Dragon; 16 x 24 in./40 x 61 cm) for $60.00 USD each. There will be 75 of each for sale. Mondo have stated that these products will all be available as timed exclusives at a later date.
