According to the Artisan Toy, “Ishimori Productions and Dynamic Manufacturing simultaneously posted this fictional April Fool’s Day creation on X[formerly[formerlyTwitter], which garnered a sizable response, and now it be been grew to change into into a soft vinyl figure.” The place continues, “Cyborg 0082 was born from a casual conversation between Gō Nagai and Masato Hayase at a party, about combining Shōtarō Ishinomori‘s Cyborg 009 with Gō Nagai‘s Cutie Honey.”
Pre-orders for the Cyborg 0082 soft vinyl figure has begun on the Artisan Toy web place for 17,600 yen (about US$120). The place states the figure will be available in “February 2025.” Then again, this date appears to be a typo.
