Dragon Quest Action Figures Charge Towards North America

North American toy collectors and video gamers can look forward to new action figures from Japan based on the latest installment of Square-Enix's Dragon Quest video games, imported from Japan and available exclusively in North America through Diamond Comic Distributors!

Dragon Quest (once known as Dragon Warrior in the U.S.) has been one of Japan's biggest role-playing game franchises since its introduction in 1986, and has sold more than 35 million units worldwide. Dragon Quest VIII Action Figures will mark the first time that characters from the epic game series have been realized as collectible action figures.

This series of articulated action figures - which include bases & bonus parts - contains Hero (standing 5.5" tall), Yangus (5" tall), Jessica (6" tall), and Angelo (6.5" tall). Each is scheduled to ship in November 2005 in window-box packaging - in advance of the newest Dragon Quest installment in 2006 - with a Suggested Retail Price of $18.99.

Fans can find this and other great Japanese import products at their local comics shop, or by contacting the Comic Shop Locator Service toll free at 1-888-COMICBOOK (1-888-266-4226) or online at http://www.comicshoplocator.com/.
