Animal Crossing: New Horizons really does feel like it has been an evergreen game for Nintendo, with players still steadily tuning in to see what’s coming down the pipeline. Happily, the developer has obliged with myriad releases over the years, from exciting collaborations with other major games, to genuinely collectible physical products.
The most recent of those was the tie-in with the arrival of Splatoon Raiders, where you could pick up a bunch of themed furniture for the properties on your island via an amiibo. Now, we’re heading back into the realm of the tangible, as a new swathe of official drops is on the way, and they should appeal to basically every Animal Crossing Fan under the sun.
As first reported by Toy People, Japanese toy company RE-MENT, who have become well-known for their highly detailed miniature models, has confirmed the upcoming release of “Animal Crossing Happy Room 2,” their brand-new run of blind box figures.
Priced at 1650 JPY (~$10), there are six new designs for fans to pick up, with the blind box dynamic meaning that you don’t know which one you will get when you buy. As you might expect, the designs are based on several notable characters from the game, as well as their favorite haunts (be it residential or commercial).
The full list of designs available this time around are as follows:
- Tom Nook’s Resident Services
- Blathers’ Museum Exhibit Space
- Label’s Room
- Gala’s Japanese-style Room
- Chai’s Room
- Lolly’s Living Room
The release is set to go ahead in November of this year, and if you don’t fancy engaging with the RNG part of the equation, you should also be able to pick-up a complete six box set if you want all of the designs for your home collection.
As the name suggests, this is the second time the company has dropped a set of designs tied to ACNH. The first set, handily named Animal Crossing: Happy Room 1, included renditions of Timmy & Tommy in Nook’s Cranny, Isabelle in Resident Services, Brewster in The Roost, as well as Marshal’s, Bob’s and Whitney’s rooms.
As for the video games themselves, Nintendo has remained quite tight-lipped on their plans for the Animal Crossing series moving forward. The 3.0 update certainly breathed some new life into proceedings to tide everyone over for the time being, but it’s a fairly safe bet that there’s likely something going on behind the scenes at this point.
