Anime women.  Mecha outfits.  Lots of plastic.  Presenting -- the Busou Shinki anime series action figures, now available in enthusiast retail stores throughout the U.S., as well as at the official Konami online store (www.konami.com).  They have lengthy, only half-understandable names:  MMS Type Angel Arnval, MMS Type Cat Maochao (you get the idea); and are going for about $35 bucks a pop.  Where my fanboyz at?!

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – April 4, 2007 Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced its popular Busou Shinki™ action figure line is now available at select enthusiast retail stores throughout the U.S. as well as at the official Konami online store (www.konami.com). Designed by leading Japanese visualists, the Busou Shinki series features proprietary “Multi Movable System” (MMS) technology that allows users to customize their figures through unique combinations of poses and interchangeable accessories.

 

Featuring packaging and character design faithful to their original Japanese release, the Busou Shinki series lets collectors enter the futuristic world of six brave cybernetic warriors. Designed by renowned illustrators including SHINOFUSA ROKURO, SHIMADA HUMIKANE and BLADE, the series features six incredibly detailed and customizable figures, each with their own accessories and cybernetic battle suit.
