Hasegawa continues to release plastic model kits, resin figures, and reissues, with a September 2026 lineup that includes a You're Under Arrest! bike kit, a Patlabor resin figure, and a Virtual-On reissue. The studio also sells a Misa Hayase figure kit paired with a Tamago Hikoki Valkyrie model, releasing July 1, 2026.
Hasegawa's recent announcements show a steady output of model kits and figures across multiple franchises. In June 2026, the company revealed its September 2026 lineup, which includes a 'You're Under Arrest!' Suzuki GSX-R750 White Bike Version, a 'Patlabor' Noa Izumi resin figure, and a reissue of the VR-747 Temjin from 'Cyber Troopers Virtual-On' for that series' 30th anniversary. The lineup mixes new kits, anniversary reissues, and a resin figure from a classic mecha franchise.
Earlier in June, Hasegawa began selling a set that combines a 3D printed figure kit of Misa Hayase from 'Super Dimension Fortress Macross' at 1/24 scale with the deformed plastic model Tamago Hikoki VF-1S Super Valkyrie. The figure prototype is by Tsurugi Dan. The set includes eye decals for the figure and aircraft markings for Hikaru Ichijyo's VF-1S, and is priced at 3,960 yen, releasing July 1, 2026.
Separately, the name Hasegawa appears in casting announcements for anime projects. Voice actor Ikumi Hasegawa joined the 'Kill Blue' anime cast as Mai Otohime, a marine sports prodigy with dual personalities. Comedian Shinobu Hasegawa was cast as the narrator for the 20th anniversary 'Sgt. Frog' film, which opens in Japan on June 26, 2026. These casting credits are unrelated to the model kit company's product releases.
