Skullgirls 2nd Encore has revealed that Marie is joining the game as a new DLC character. She’ll initially be available in 2023.

Smile Fest 2022 is currently taking place in Tokyo, and it’s brought along some major news about future figures – including a couple for Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s Mio.

Other announcements include a King Dedede Nendoroid, our first look at the upcoming Metroid Dread figure for Samus, and more.
