Bandai Spirits Co., Ltd.[a] is a Japanese toy manufacturer based in Minato, Tokyo, owned by Bandai, a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings. The company manufactures and distributes toys and collectibles mainly aimed at adults, such as the Banpresto and Tamashii Nations brands, B-Train and plastic models such as Gunpla among others, which before 2018, were previously handled by Bandai as well as Banpresto's prize and convenience store businesses, which were inherited from the second incarnation of Banpresto in 2008 following the original company's absorption into Namco Bandai Games. The formation of the company was the final stage of a major restructuring of Bandai Namco Holdings, aimed at creating more properties, which also involved the spin-off of Bandai Namco Entertainment's amusement machine division to Bandai Namco Amusement and the formation of Bandai Namco Pictures, an animation studio that transferred several productions previously produced by Sunrise to BNP. Bandai Spirits' products are distributed internationally via Bandai's subsidiaries and local distributors.
