Banjo-Kazooie and Conker are the latest additions to the amiibo-like Totaku range

Classic Rare mascots Banjo-Kazooie and Conker will soon be available as part of the Totaku Collection - an officially licensed range of nifty amiibo-esque video game figures.

The Totaku line-up of classic-game-inspired collectibles launched at the start of the year, with a six-strong roster of characters most closely associated with PlayStation. Crash Bandicoot, Parappa the Rapper, LittleBigPlanet's Sack Boy, even Bloodborne's Hunter all put in an appearance, and the range has greatly expanded since then.
