Metroid Collectibles On The Horizon From First 4 Figures
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In conjunction of the Metroid Prime: Hunter's release for the
Nintendo DS in Europe, First 4 Figures is extremely happy to
announce a three-year licensing agreement with Nintendo for
the rights to create collectibles based on the Metroid
franchise.
"We are extremely excited to be working with First 4 Figures
to develop a line of figures inspired by Metroid" said Gail
Tilden, VP of Nintendo Brand Management. "Metroid fans have
come to expect the best from our video games and we are
confident First 4 Figures will deliver the same quality with
their statues."
"We will be using original Metroid game data for the majority
of the collectibles," says Darren Martin, director of First 4
Figures. "This will enable us to create highly accurate
collectibles that remain faithful to the original
source."
There are plans for single statues and VS dioramas.
The first in the series of statues will be previewed at this
year's upcoming E3 on Nintendo's stand with product
anticipated to come to market the third quarter of 2006. They
will be available in collectible and specialty stores
worldwide and online retailers as well as directly at the
First 4 Figures website.
They will stand approximately 9 to 12 inches tall and will
retail for $85 to $120 for single statues and $200+ for high
end VS dioramas.
