January 27, 2005 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Corner Store Comics has several new items of interest to collectors:

STREET FIGHTER SERIES 2 WHITE GI KEN VARIANT ADDED TO CORNERSTORECOMICS!
The much-rumored white Ken variant figure has now been added to our Street Fighter Series 2 offerings! These figures are already pre-sold out at SOTA, so if you haven't locked in a pre-order somewhere, anywhere, you really should get on it. By the way, Series 3 is already approaching sell-out at the retailer level as well, so you might consider looking at Series 3 while you're at it. Don't say we didn't warn you...

SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES - SERIES 1!
DC Direct takes on yet another artist-driven line of figures, drawing inspiration from Ed Mcguiness' work on the hugely successful Superman/Batman comics. Series 1 is due late this summer and features Superman & Batman, along with Captain Atom, Metallo, and Shazam! Reserve yours now!

TRIGUN GAZELLE THE PEACEMAKER ARRIVING SOONER THAN EXPECTED???
If you haven't locked in your order for GAZELLE, the newest Trigun action figure from Kaiyodo Japan, you might want to get on it. We've heard that an early arrival could very well be in the works here at CornerStoreComics, possibly turning up in the next week or two. If you haven't seen this figure yet, all we can say is AWESOME! Trigun fans will not be disappointed.

STAR WARS BUST-UPS SERIES 2: DARK LORDS OF THE SITH ARRIVING SOON!
The second batch of little plastic Star Wars busts is on its way, and should be arriving here by the middle of next week. Add Vader, Maul, Dooku, and some other minions of the evil Empire to your Star Wars Bust-Ups collection now!

THE HAPPY TREE FRIENDS HAVE ARRIVED!
Those twisted, cute little darlings of the forest are here. If you've been missing out on the worldwide sensation that is the Happy Tree Friends, than you really need to check it out. We've got the first series of figures, as well as brand new keychains in stock now (all pre-mutilation, I'm afraid...)

EMILY THE STRANGE IS IN STOCK NOW!
What's black & white & full of attitude? Emily the Strange! Toynami launches its first Emily figures since the very hot san Diego convention exclusive sold out last summer. Choose from two different poses, both complete with base and Mystery the Cat.

MARVEL MINIMATES SERIES 8 & 9 HAVE ARRIVED EARLY!
While not listed for release until March, we've got our first shipments of both Marvel Minimates Series 8 & Series 9 over the past couple weeks! The Marvel Minimates are hotter than ever, and these latest series have sold faster than any previous lineups we've had. We've got more arriving this week, so grab your singles, sets, variant sets, and even sealed cases!

WARRIORS... COME OUT AND PLAY....! MORE SCARFACE TOO!
We're now accepting pre-orders for Mezco's latest thangs, including the Warriors. Created to coincide with both the 25th anniversary of Walter Hill's cult classic film, and the upcoming video game, collect Warriors Swan, Cochise, & Cleon, the Baseball Furies, and even Luther with the bottles on his fingers! Also added from Mezco, realistic Scarface figures to follow-up the hugely successful roto line!
