Top Story: A Historic Box Office Weekend: Five Of The Top Ten Films Are Animated Features

How beloved is animation director Hayao Miyazaki? They make toys not of his characters, but of the director himself. Bigshot Toyworks has announced a new collectible figurine honoring the legendary 73-year-old Japanese filmmaker.

The resin-made toy, designed by Martin Hsu, will be limited to 300 pieces. The “Miya-san” tribute figures will be available for pre-order at $95 starting Tuesday, January 21, at 2PM EST.

Proceeds from the sales of the figurine will be donated to an as-yet-undetermined charity chosen by Martin Hsu and Klim Kozinevich. The projected ship date of the product is April 2014.
