Anyone have fond memories of watching Josie and the Pussycats on Saturday mornings as a kid? You know, back during the golden age of those classic Hanna-Barbera animated shows like Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, and The Smurfs? Well, it seems that Mezco Toyz remembers those days too. How else do you explain them making a bunch of retro figures of this trio of pop idols?

Josie and the Retro Figure Reunion?

Mezco Toyz is proud to announce their new Josie and the Pussycats 5 Points Boxed Set figures. As you can see above, this is a collection of retro figures depicting the titular all-girl pop band trio at their finest. This boxed set comes not only with Josie, Valerie, and Melody figures; but also various accessories such as instruments and interchangeable arms. The boxed set even comes with its own diorama for you to pose the trio in. Note though that this diorama is inspired by the stage they play on (or rather, Melody drums on), but it’s not an exact copy. The coloring of the cat is a bit off, and it lacks the music notes in the cat background. Otherwise though, it seems to be a pretty solid stage. For comparison, you can watch the intro below:

Nostalgia, my old friend, you’re back with some cat girls this time.

Unfortunately, Mezco’s Josie and the Pussycats 5 Points Boxed Set isn’t immediately available. Mezco Toyz has scheduled the collection’s release for sometime in December 2023. As of this writing, you can preorder it on Entertainment Earth for a whopping $49.99. Yeah, I’m not going to lie: this is pretty expensive for just a trio of figures with accessories and a diorama. If you feel an attack of nostalgia for the 70’s strongly enough though, then these might still be the figures for you. Just remember to save up for it.
