Another year, another new set of figures to worship the duo known worldwide as Daft Punk. We’ve seen Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter become manifested in plastic form as Giant Bearbrick Figures and as LEGO-like MEDICOM Toys, as well as ridiculously rad and highly detailed Medicom Action Figures.
