The release date and price of the physical Nintendo Switch 2 version of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time have appeared on the official Level 5 webpage for the game. As Level 5 announced earlier this year, the physical editions are Japan exclusive, and there's no information as of yet regarding a Western release.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game will cost 7978 JPY ($54.45). It'll come out on August 7, 2025 in Japan. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch and PS5 versions cost 7678 JPY ($52.40), and are already available. If you have a physical copy of the Nintendo Switch version already, you can pay 300 JPY to upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 edition. However, if you play the Switch 2 version on a Switch console, the graphics and such will still be the Switch version's.
Aside from news of the physical release, Level 5 also announced Photo Mode. It'll appear later this month. You'll be able to customize it with poses, emote, and angles. As well, Level 5 will hold a contest to see who can take the best picture. Information on that contest, including what the "awesome prizes" are, will come out later.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.

Kotobukiya announced the next two Pokemon figures in its ArtFX J series, and they are the X and Y trainer protagonists Calem and Serena. Each one comes with one of the two starters from the 3DS installment. Calem is entirely new. He will cost 15,400円 when he debuts in Japan in January 2026, then $119.99 when he comes to the US in February 2026. Serena will also cost 15,400円 when she returns in Japan in December 2025, and she'll be $119.99 when she comes back in the US.
Serena should look familiar, as she first joined the ArtFX J line back in 2017. As such, if you find the original run of her, it's expensive due to being out of print. She wears the basic trainer outfit from the game, and she comes with a Fennekin. The Fennekin isn't attached to the base. So these two can be displayed together or on their own.
Here's how that one looks:
Calem is joining the collection for the first time. His partner for this run is Froakie. Like Serena, the starter isn't attached to the base. So they can be posed together or apart. Also, since his is entirely new, getting it from the Kotobukiya US store means you also get a Hitoshi Ariga illustration as a bonus.
This is how that figure looks:
The Serena Pokemon X and Y ArtFX J figure returns in Japan in December 2025 and in the US in January 2026, and Calem will appear for the first time in Japan in January 2026 and in the US in February 2026. Pre-orders for both close on August 5, 2025. The games are available on the 3DS worldwide.

Furyu announced that the Delicious in Dungeon figures of Falin and Marcille will be a part of its Tenitol figures collection, and each one wears a formal dress. In Japan, the Furyu storefront is selling them for ¥11,000 each or ¥22,000 as a pair, and Buyee offers worldwide shipping. Those will debut there in March 2026. They will be $74.99 each in the US, and both are expected to arrive in Q3 2026. Outside Japan, there's no option to get both in a bundle.
Editor's Note: There will be Delicious in Dungeon spoilers referenced when discussing the Falin and Marcille figures below.
This pair of Falin and Marcille figures seems to be set after the events of Delicious in Dungeon. Falin's dress is based on her chimera form. In it, she was covered in white feathers with some red accents. There are feathers on the skirt of the dress, and she wears red heels. For the Marcille figure, her dress is black with gold accents, black flats, and a red ribbon around her neck as a necklace. She has her hair mostly long, though with two small braids, and a black ribbon as a headband.
Here's how both look:
There is one difference between the official Furyu release available via Hobby Mall and retailers like Good Smile Company's. There are bonus face parts for Falin and Marcille. The standard faces show the two each smiling with their eyes open. The Falin bonus face plate features her eyes shut and a wider smile. The extra Marcille one makes her look a bit more flustered, with worried eyebrows and a more uncertain smile.
Here's how those extra face plates look when compared to the original ones:
Furyu also offered an example image to show the estimated height of both characters next to each other and alongside an 8 inch tall 500mL bottle. Falin will be almost a foot tall (30cm). Marcille will be 11 inches tall (28cm).
The Delicious in Dungeon Tenitol figures of Falin and Marcille each wearing a fancy dress will debut in Japan in March 2026 and worldwide in Q3 2026. Pre-orders through Furyu Hobby Mall close on September 24, 2025. Yen Press handled the manga outside Japan, while the anime is streaming on Netflix.
