July 31, 2002 - A new figure from the hit Playstation 2 game Gungrave is headed towards toy shelves, and will available exclusively in North America through Diamond Comic Distributors!
Gungrave is one of the most highly anticipated upcoming games for the Playstation 2 platform. This third-person shooter features characters designed by popular Japanese creator, Yasuhiro Nightow, and features the gun-slinging exploits of the main character, "Grave", who not only wields his gun Cerberus, but also carries a coffin on his back filled with weapons. Imported from Japan, the Gungrave 11-inch Action Figure is the first offering from this new and exciting video game!
This figure was created by Kaiyodo of Japan whose previous releases include the best-selling Trigun: Monev the Gale Action Figure, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion EVA Units. Nightow's Trigun designs for Kaiyodo are without peer; but his Gungrave 11-inch Action Figure design is the next evolutionary step in the creator's popular Toy Tribe series! A remarkable representation of the main character from the game, Grave features fantastic articulation and comes with a complete arsenal of the character's in-game weapons, including the aforementioned coffin arsenal!
Scheduled to ship in the Winter of 2002, this is a figure that no fan of video games or unique collectibles will want to miss!
If you'll be attending this year's Comic Con International: San Diego (August 1-4), be sure to stop by the Diamond Comic Distributors booth (#1600) to check out the Gungrave Mini-Figure (a special premium collectible available only with the video game in Japan), which is a 3" tall version of the full-sized figure to come!
