New ThreeA Toys, Nendoroid Petits coming for ... Linkin Park?

Sometimes in the figure world, there are some pretty strange or unexpected bedfellows. I would have to say Linkin Park and Good Smile Co. would be among the most unexpected I've seen to date. The band and the figure company are teaming up for an event called A Thousand Horizons next month in Tokyo. The most surprising part of the news, though, is that all six members of the band are being made into a Nendoroid Petit set as part of the event. Unfortunately, beyond that, we don't have any images of the set yet, but it's interesting news, to say the least.

There's also a Linkin Park x ThreeA Toys release, it seems, which makes a little more sense, given their love of mechs and robots. And of course, what would complete the toy madness but a little Be@rbrick? Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't done a Linkin Park Be@rbrick before ...

As for when this is all taking place, it looks like it'll be a one-day event at NicoFarre in Tokyo on Sept. 9, just before Linkin Park kicks off the Japanese leg of their A Thousand Suns Tour. The Nendo and ThreeA figures actually don't have release dates or prices listed yet, but a portion of all the sales of goods from the event are going to Music for Relief to help aid those affected by the Great Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami in March.
