Highly Collectible Mehve Glider Set Previously Released Only in Japan from Premium Bandai Now Available for First Time to Studio Ghibli Fans in North America 

ANAHEIM, CA – August 24, 2020.   While the popularity of its films has never waned over its 35-year history,  Studio Ghibli is now enjoying a major resurgence as mainstream audiences everywhere experience its films for the first time – digitally. To address fan and collector demand, BANDAI NAMCO Collectibles (Bluefin), a BANDAI NAMCO Group company and the master distributor of officially licensed Studio Ghibli merchandise in North America, announced plans to offer exclusive limited-time and limited-run product for the first time ever in North America via its direct-to-consumermwebsite BluefinBrands.com. Today’s announcement is accompanied by Bluefin’s first such exclusive release – the Mehve Glider & Nausicaä Set (Full Action Ver.).  Based on Hayao Miyazaki’s 1984 film “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,” this highly-sought-after figure set was originally released last October and only available for sale in Japan via pre-order from Premium Bandai. The Mehve Glider & Nausicaä Set is part of Bandai’s Souzou Galleria series, a collection of elaborate desktop models that reproduce the unique world of Studio Ghibli works, and features a poseable figure and transformable glider with built-in light feature. Fans are encouraged to act quickly. A very limited quantity of the Mehve Glider & Nausicaä Set is available. The figure set will not be restocked once it sells out.
