Following the announcement of Isabelle, First 4 Figures has now officially unveiled its Animal Crossing: New Horizons Tom Nook statue.
Pre-orders will open in 7 days on 11th July 2024, with the exact amount of Bells this one will cost not yet revealed. It's a statue that "faithfully captures" Tom Nook's appearance including his "droopy eyes to his brown fur". The base of this figure is also inspired by Animal Crossing's art style.
This statue will be followed by (you guessed it) the singing and guitar playing dog K.K.Slider in the future. And if you would like to get another look at the Isabelle statue, you can check out our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life. This particular figure is also available in a special "exclusive edition".

Tom will give you a loan to buy his statue.
I understand the games are popular, but this seems 3 years too late.
@rvcolem1 Yup! don't even play it anymore!
@rvcolem1 Licensing and production takes time and merch windows aren’t the same as game sale windows. Merch is simply another arm of consumer engagement.
A person may pick up the game or start playing again but the real point is to get a person more emeshed in a brand. If that happens then a consumer is more likely to consume additional or future products related to that brand. Doesn’t matter if it is a game or not. Also serves to bring in consumers that may not be swayed by the game but love the product. Brands/IP are designed for Lifestyle and Lifetime adoption.
Personally, I'm fine with the Animal Crossing amiibo and at most would get some of the Lego sets in addition, but these look great and I hope those who will get them will enjoy them!
I have a Tom Nook amiibo that stands on my webcam looking at me at my desk.
Looking at him right now, I feel my need for Tom Nook representation is satiated.
Like... the amiibo does what I need. I can't see a situation where I'd be wanting a static Tom Nook figure but my amiibo didn't suffice.
I wish them luck.
Dear First Four…..this is nice….but where…where…where are the SPLATOON figures, they are long overdue. Let’s Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑

Looks great, but I can’t justify the price, at least right now. I love Animal Crossing so maybe eventually I will get this. Do you think there will be a chance that there will be a Blathers one?
@rvcolem1 @darkslide8 While I agree that these products would have sold better if they were released sooner when the game was at it's peak, it's not like Animal Crossing fans stopped loving the franchise. It also doesn't have any functionality within the game so it doesn't matter of people stopped playing New Horizons.
@roy130390 I just know in America it was huge during the pandemic, they probably wouldn't make then if they knew they'd lose money. Maybe this franchise is more popular than I understand
@roy130390 You still posting on old posts! lol! cheers mate!
@darkslide8 It wasn't even a week old when I replied and the article was relevant again because it was updated. Cheers though!
