• Japan’s Gachapon machines now offer detailed miniature rack server collectibles
• Each 1/12 scale server model replicates real brands like Cisco, Dell and A10
• They feature tiny cables, ports, fans, and stackable racks, but they're only toys

If you live in the United States or the UK, you’re probably familiar with vending machines in grocery stores and shopping malls that dispense tiny toys or collectibles in plastic capsules. You insert your money, turn the handle, and out pops a prize, typically something like bouncy balls, fidget toys, collectible characters, and so on.

Japan offers something similar, but with genuinely desirable products that are of far better quality. Gachapon machines are a part of everyday life there and can be found everywhere, including train stations, shopping centers, arcades, and even on the sidewalk. The name Gachapon comes from two Japanese sounds: “gacha,” the cranking of the machine’s handle, and “pon,” the sound the capsule makes when it drops.

These machines offer an enormous range of themed products. As you’d expect from Japan, they include everything from the cute and quirky to the oddly specific or completely bizarre, including tiny versions of animals, people, food, or characters from anime and manga. MiniMachines recently spotted Gachapon machines (via @Kalleboo) dispensing miniature rack servers.

Just like the real thing

The rack servers don’t serve any practical purpose - you can’t actually use them, so banish any ideas you might have of creating a shoebox-sized data center - but the attention to detail is remarkable.

Made for collectors "aged 15 and up", each “Palm-Sized Network Device” is just 105mm tall and built to a 1/12 scale. The server blades are only a few millimeters thick and are modeled after real products from Dell, Cisco, A10 Networks, Furukawa Electric, and Fortinet. You can build them, take them apart, and connect the different elements. Ethernet ports, cables, rack-mount cooling systems, power strips, logos, vents, and other details are all meticulously replicated.

If you happen to be in Japan and you’re lucky enough to find a Gachapon machine offering these, you can get the tiny rack server of your dreams for 500 yen each (about $3.50). Keep an eye on eBay too though as Gachapon collections do get sold there, but you’ll pay a premium.

They may not do anything, but for IT enthusiasts or anyone who loves oddly specific, incredibly detailed miniatures, they’re weirdly tempting. I’m not much of a collector personally, but these might just change that.

Invincible season 4: key information

- In development for Prime Video
- No release date announced
- Co-creator wants new seasons to air annually
- No footage or trailers released so far
- Most of its ensemble cast expected to return
- Comic book namesake teases what to expect from a story standpoint
- Season 5 hasn't been greenlit yet

Invincible season 4 is on the way, but it'll be a while before the critically acclaimed show's next installment makes its debut on Prime Video.

With the Amazon TV series' third season only ending on March 13, you and I have a long wait on our hands for its follow-up. To pass the time, then, let's talk about what you can expect from Invincible's fourth season, including its likely cast and plot details, and speculate on its possible release date.

Full spoilers follow for Invincible season 3 and the graphic novel series it's based on. Proceed with caution if you're actively avoiding them ahead of the show's return.

Invincible season 4 release date: what we know

Good news, there will be MORE [slam to Invincible title card] pic.twitter.com/E6fY3qvfADJuly 26, 2024

Invincible was renewed for a fourth season last July. Indeed, it was one of nine huge announcements that excited us most at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Work is well underway, too. Chatting to Collider, J.K. Simmons, who voices Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man, revealed he'd already recorded lines for Invincible season 4. As for when it might be released, Robert Kirkman, co-creator of the Invincible TV adaptation and comic book, indicated (via The Direct) that he'd like new seasons to air annually.

Depending on how much work has been completed on season 4, that means it could arrive sometime in 2026. That's a lofty goal for any kind of animated show, though, which typically take two to three years to make. I'm all for a 2026 release window but, if its crew is forced to crunch to get season 4 finished for next year, I'd be happy to wait until 2027 and let them make it as good as possible.

Is there a trailer for Invincible season 4?

No. There won't be an Invincible season 4 trailer for a long time, either. Once one is released, I'll update this section.

Invincible season 4 cast: confirmed and rumored

Full spoilers follow for Invincible's third season.

There's no official word on who'll be back for Invincible season 4. Based on its predecessor's ending, though here's who I expect to see (or, rather, hear) again:

• Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible
• J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man
• Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson
• Gillian Jacobs as Samantha Eve Wilkins/Atom Eve
• Walton Goggins as Cecil Stedman
• Chris Diamantopoulos as Donald Ferguson and Isotope
• Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien
• Christian Convery as Oliver Grayson/Kid-Omni-Man
• Ross Marquand as Rudy 'Rex' Connors and The Immortal
• Zachary Quinto as Robot
• Malese Jow as Kate Chas/Dupli-Kate
• Grey Griffin as Amanda, Betsy Wilkins, and Shrinking Rae
• Kevin Michael Richardson as Monster Girl
• Khary Payton as Markus Grimshaw/Black Sansom
• Jay Pharoah as Zandale Randolph/Bulletproof
• Ben Schwartz as The Shapesmith and Rus Livingston
• Andrew Rannells as William Clockwell
• Luke Macfarlane as Rick Sheridan
• Calista Flockhart as April Howsam
• Sterling K. Brown as Angstrom Levy
• Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Conquest
• Mark Hamill as Art Rosenbaum
• Eric Bauza as D.A. Sinclair
• Clancy Brown as Damien Darkblood, General Kregg, and Ka-Hor
• Peter Cullen as Thaedus
• Tatiana Maslany as Telia
• Shantel van Shanten as Anissa
• Tzi Mas as Mister Liu
• Todd Williams as Titan
• Jeffrey Donovan as Machine Head
• Simu Liu as Paul Cha/Multi-Paul
• Aaron Paul as Scott Duvall/Powerplex
• Jonathan Banks as Brit
• Michael Dorn as Battle Beast
• Cliff Curtis as Paul
• Zazie Beets as Amber
• Fred Tatasciore as Adam Wilkins
• Doug Bradley as The Technician
• Bruce Campbell as Damien Darkblood's demonic superior

That's an absolutely stacked voice cast, but there'll be many more characters to meet in season 4. Among that number are Dinosaurus, Grand Regent Thragg, Space Racer, and Universa, who are all introduced in the next 12 to 15 issues of the comics.

Meanwhile, Tech Jacket, who made his silent debut in Invincible season 3 episode 7 and will play a big role moving forward, will also require a voice actor. And with Oliver continuing to grow at an accelerated rate, it's possible Convery may be replaced by an adult voice actor, too. There are plenty of opportunities, then, to add more big-name stars to the series' huge ensemble. I wonder if Bryan Cranston will finally stop saying no to Kirkman's requests to play someone...

There are a few characters – and voice actors – who won't return for season 4.

Jason Mantzoukas' time as Rex Sloan/Rex Splode is over following his character's death in last season's seventh episode, aka the one with the brutal Invincible War that was first teased in season 3 episode 1 and then all but revealed in the post-credits scene of season 3's sixth episode. Darkwing II also seemingly perished in that battle, so Cleveland Berto isn't likely to be back in the recording booth.

Richardson's time as The Mauler Twins is similarly over after they were killed by Oliver Grayson in season 3 episode 3. He'll be back to voice Monster Girl, though, so at least he's not been fully dropped from the cast roster.

Invincible season 4 story speculation

Huge spoilers follow for Invincible season 3's finale and Image Comics' graphic novel series.

Invincible season 4 doesn't have an official story synopsis yet. However, you can remind yourself what happened in its forebear's final episode in my Invincible season 3 ending explained piece.

That article doesn't reveal everything that happened after Mark Grayson defeated Conquest (with more than a little help from Atom Eve, FYI), though. If you want some clues about where things will go next, I'll provide some details after the image below. So, skip to the next section if you haven't read the comics and don't want any big plot beats ruined ahead of season 4's release.

The Sequids storyline should reach its conclusion early on in season 4 (Image credit: Amazon MGM Studios)

One of the first big storylines that season 4 should cover revolves around the sequids. The parasitic lifeforms made their animated debut in season 1 episode 4 and have been a regular thorn in Mark's side ever since.

With the alien race making their way to Earth in season 2 part 2's finale – read my Invincible season 2 part 2 ending explained article for more on how they did so – they pose a huge threat to Earth's human population. Expect this to be the first big test for Mark and his fellow heroes post-Conquest.

That won't be the only problem Mark has to contend with. Despite being shown Conquest's corpse after Mark seemingly killed him in season 3 episode 8, the second-most powerful Viltrumite warrior is still alive. He's being kept in a secure and secret Global Defence Agency (GDA) location miles beneath the Earth's surface. The reason? Once Conquest wakes up from his coma, Cecil wants information on the Viltrum Empire and how it can be defeated. I can't see that going badly for Cecil and company...

Conquest will return – and he'll have reinforcements next time around (Image credit: Prime Video)

So, yes, Conquest will return, but I won't reveal when or what awaits Mark when he does. Let's just say if Mark was mad that Cecil lied to him over D.A. Sinclair's reformation and continuing work on the ReAnimen, he's going to be apoplectic when he learns Conquest isn't dead.

Moving away from the titular superhero, Invincible season 4 will let us spend more time with everyone's favorite interracial bromance: Allen the Alien and Nolan Grayson. The pair didn't have much screen time in seasons 2 and 3, but that'll change next time around. Indeed, they'll have much more prominent roles as they attempt to track down allies and weapons to help them and the Coalition of Planets (CoP) in their upcoming fight against the Viltrum Empire.

Allen and Nolan Grayson should get more screen time next season (Image credit: Amazon MGM Studios)

They'll need all the help they can get, too, because season 4 is likely to end with another conflict – larger and more devastating than the Invincible War – between the CoP and Viltrumites. Again, no huge spoilers here, but you best prepare yourself for an almighty showdown.

There'll be lots of other subplots to be resolved and new ones to be introduced in season 4 as well. There's going to be more melodrama for Mark and Eve to deal with, the return of villains the pair and Earth's other heroes will have to tackle, Immortal and Dupli-Kate settling down to start a family, another reboot of the Guardians of the Globe's line-up, and so much more.

Damien Darkblood is part of a completely new storyline in Invincible's TV adaptation (Image credit: Amazon MGM Studios)

As for new plot points that are exclusive to Amazon's adult animated adaptation, we already know there'll be one of those in Invincible season 4. It'll be centered on Damien Darkblood, the demon detective who was banished from Earth by Cecil midway through the show's first season.

That's where his story ends in the source material, but the Invincible season 3 finale confirms Darkblood will be back in some capacity next season. Nobody knows how it'll factor into the overarching narrative, but it's nevertheless pleasing to see Kirkman expand on his literary works where he can.

Where can I watch seasons 1 to 3 of Invincible?

Let Atom Eve be your guide to finding out where you can stream Invincible seasons 1 through 3 (Image credit: Amazon MGM Studios)

The only place you can stream Invincible is on Prime Video. After all, it's an Amazon TV Original, so you won't find it on any other of the world's best streaming services.

All three seasons of one of the best Prime Video shows are available to watch in full on the platform now, too. If you don't have an Amazon Prime account but want to sign up for one, use the widget below to see how much it'll cost in your world region first.

Will Invincible return for a fifth season on Prime Video?

Don't be surprised if Mark and Oliver are forced to endure more bloody battles post-season 4 (Image credit: Amazon MGM Studios)

Invincible season 5 hasn't been announced yet. It probably won't be until work has ended on the series' fourth chapter, either.

Responding to a question from The Direct about his future plans for the show, Kirkman said the entire team's focus was on ensuring season 4 is as good as it can be. In short: any talk on a fifth season and one-off specials that star characters other than Mark, such as the Atom Eve TV Special that aired in mid-20224, is off the table for the time being.

Kirkman hopes that Invincible runs for many more seasons, though. Adding to the answer he gave to The Direct, he said, "the goal is to adapt the entire comic", but wouldn't put a definitive number on how many seasons it'll take to do that.

Currently, each eight-episode season is adapting between 15 and 20 comic book issues. Invincible ran for 144 issues so, if the show maintains that output with each new installment, it should take seven to nine seasons to tell the full story. As an Invincible devotee, I'd be okay with another five or six seasons of it, too!

• The iPhone 16 Pro Max could be followed by the iPhone 17 Ultra
• We've also heard the 'Ultra' rumor in previous years
• The iPhone 17 Ultra may feature a bigger battery and more cooling

We're expecting Apple to unveil the iPhone 17 range in September, and a new rumor points to a name change for the most expensive model in the line-up – a rumor that has actually been swirling for a couple of years now.

According to well-known tipster Yeux1122 (via MacRumors), the iPhone 17 Pro Max is in fact going to be called the iPhone 17 Ultra. That's apparently based on information from investors and sources inside the supply chain.

If the phone previously known as the iPhone 17 Pro Max does indeed get a name change, it would be the first Ultra phone released by Apple – though it has already used the Ultra label for some of its Apple Silicon chips, and of course the Apple Watch Ultra series.

We've heard this rumor before, however, both for the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 – and in those cases, the names didn't change. Maybe this will be the year when Apple finally decides to shake up its approach to iPhone naming.

Hardware and software

In theory then, we could be looking at a line-up that features the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Ultra. There is a certain neatness to having a single extra word after each of the three additional variants.

That said, the same tipster also suggests that the iPhone 17 Air name isn't yet fixed. This super-slim model, replacing the iPhone 16 Plus, has been featured in a lot of leaks – but it sounds as though Apple hasn't decided what to call it yet.

The iPhone 17 Ultra (if indeed that is its name) is also tipped to be coming with a smaller Dynamic Island, a vapor chamber for additional cooling (and improved performance), and an increased battery capacity – which will add to its thickness.

We've already heard that iOS 19 is set for a major revamp too, so it looks as though it's going to be quite the year for Apple in terms of both hardware and software. We should get our first look at iOS 19 sometime in June at Apple WWDC 2025.
