Nier Automata gets bizarre new tie-ins that includes a toolbox
In typical Nier fashion, the latest products to hit stores are such odd choices that it perfectly fits the series.
If it’s not director Yoko Taro donning a massive head to mask his face, or in general being weird, it’s his series that is. The original Nier was a cult favorite, with two versions made for both Western and Japanese audiences. Then, in 2016, we were shown a sequel to Nier, Nier Automata that planted the series on the map.
While the Nier front has been relatively quiet since the launch of Replicant, the remaster of the original, it hasn’t been in terms of selling you things. Much like Evangelion, the deep meanings of the series are upended for toys, figures, apparel and so much more.
Now, Nier Automata has a new product tie-in: a toolbox.
Made by Groove Garage, the company produces a wide assortment of apparel, mugs, and more. However, in amongst the strangeness, lies these things. Groove Garage hasn’t just stopped at the Nier Automata branded toolbox, why not pick up some Nier Automata branded storage boxes?
Weird new Nier Automata products fit the series perfectly
At first, we thought these would be small – but expensive – trinkets for your existing anime figure collection. However, that’s far from the case. These are legitimate items that you could feasibly use in your day-to-day.
Hobby Link Japan gives no real information regarding these, so we found it through Hobby Search. This site gives us the specifications, including that the toolbox is made out of steel and weighs around 2.3lbs (1060g)
The crates – which come in 9S and 2B flavors as well – can hold up to 50 liters and measure 530x366x334mm.
The toolbox starts shipping in April 2024, along with the crates. Also launching alongside them is a bag, and patches, among other things.
