Sabyr

Due out exclusively at Toys'R'Us stores in February 2002 is Stan Winston's next series of action figures: the Realm of the Claw.

The story behind this series is good versus evil, in a kingdom of catlike beasts. There will be six figures in this series, each retailing for $14.99 USD. Each figure has a trading card (with biography) and a password to allow access to a character-specific mini-website on www.stanwinstoncreatures.com. The mini-sites have exclusive footage of the character's creation, with the main introductory story accessible in comic book form on the main site.

Each of the six figures has two interchangeable heads: one "straight character head" and one "roar/combat head."
