Characters from Rare’s iconic platformer Banjo-Kazooie are heading to Youtooz as collectible figures this summer. Banjo-Kazooie, Bottles, and Tooty will be available for pre-order next Friday, February 26, at 3 pm EST.
Each Banjo-Kazooie figure costs $29.99, stands between 3.5 to 4.5 inches tall, and comes in a unique window box that draws inspiration from the franchise. Bottles’ window box features the short-sighted mole playing poker at Banjo’s house, while Tooty’s backdrop is inspired by her time as the Star Prize in Grunty’s quiz. Banjo and Kazooie’s window box is set in the duo’s home and is illustrated with recognizable elements from the games.
Youtooz is an online shop that specializes in creating high-quality collectibles that include content creators, memes, and gaming franchises. The Banjo-Kazooie trio are the first characters from the legendary franchise to receive the Youtooz treatment.
Hopefully this new line of collectibles can help satisfy fans of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise who have been patiently waiting for a new entry in the series for over a decade. The last major entry in the series came in 2008 with the release of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
For now, the Banjo-Kazooie fan base can at least stare longingly at Youtooz’s wonderfully detailed figures while they wait for Rare to greenlight a new project. Alternatively, long-time Banjo aficionados and newcomers alike can experience the classic platformer through Xbox Game Pass by way of the Rare Replay collection.
Youtooz collectibles can sell out quickly, so interested customers should secure their orders quickly. Those pre-ordering next Friday can expect their Banjo-Kazooie collectibles to ship June 4 – 11.
