Toy Vault has announced that it has acquired the license to produce a series of action figures based on the popular online role-playing game Everquest.

From there, equip players can themselves for adventure, seek allies and knowledge, and head out into a rich world of dungeons, towers, crypts, evil abbeys - anything conceivable - even planes and realities beyond your imagination. Learn skills, earn experience, acquire treasure and equipment, meet friends and encounter enemies
