Boxxo Reborn as a Vending Machine Nendoroid Appears Next Year

A Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Nendoroid is on the way. However, it isn't a figure of the main heroine Lammis. Rather, it's a Nendoroid of Boxxo, the person reincarnated as a vending machine who's the "star" of the novel, light novel, manga, and anime. It will show up in Japan in February 2024 and worldwide in Q2 2024. It costs ¥5,000/$32.99.

While the main character isn't directly killed by Truck-kun, "he" is adjacent to the situation. The person loves vending machines and is on a scooter when one is about to fall off of a truck. The accident then ends up with him hit by the vending machine as both fall off of the side of a mountain. He's then a vending machine in another, fantasy world in the isekai series. As such, the Boxxo Nendoroid has no arm parts, and it comes with smiling, neutral, crying "faces." There's also a standard "vending machine" facade that makes it look like he's stocking actual products. You also can have canned chuhai, corn soup, or oden cans to "vend," but you need to attach those sticker labels yourself.

Here's a closer look:

If you order directly from Good Smile Company, there's also a fifth vending machine face plate you can get.

The Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Boxxo Nendoroid will come to Japan in February 2024, before showing up in other regions in Q2 2024. Pre-orders are open until August 31, 2023. You can see the anime on Crunchyroll, and Yen Press picked up the manga.

     Totk Fire Temple Boss Marbled Gohma CloseupIn The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you do battle against the Marbled Gohma at the end of the Fire Temple as part of the main Goron questline. Whether you fight this semi-throwback boss at this point in the game or later on in the Depths, you have Yunobo by your side to smash its marbled rock legs apart to easily access its weak point. If you opt to skip the Fire Temple and travel to the final boss area, however, the Marbled Gohma appears without Yunobo there to help you. Fortunately, you're more than capable of taking on the Marbled Gohma on your own, so here's how you do just that. Fighting the Marbled Gohma without Yunobo General Strategies For its first phase, the Marbled Gohma walks around and executes one of a handful of attacks depending on your proximity to it.
