The latest addition to the popular line of Battle of the Planets collectibles are headed for toy shelves, and they are available through Diamond Comic Distributors.

Battle of the Planets, a classic and popular anime is making its comeback. From its first campaign back in 1978, Battle of the Planets proved to be a hit with its combination of drama, comedy, and transmuting characters, and the popularity has passed the test of time. It has been a consistently hot property, satisfying fans and collectors with toys, shirts, posters, wall scrolls, DVDs, videos, and more. Now fans can add to their collections with the new Battle of the Planets 12-Inch Action Figures.

Imported from Japan by Diamond Select Toys, these two 1/6th scale figures mark the return of the "Real Action Heroes" editions with the lead G-Force team members, Mark and Jason. Originally produced in the mid-90s by Medicom Toy Corporation, these 12" tall articulated action figures were an instant sell-out and are now sought-after collector items. Now available for the first time in the U.S., these figures feature authentic fabric costumes and removable helmets, mounted on Medicom's all-new, highly articulated base body. The Jason figure includes a gun accessory, while the Mark figure features his sonic boomerang! Scheduled to ship in July 2002, these will be figures that no serious collector or fan will want to miss!
