King of Fighters Figures US Bound

Blue Box Toys (bbi) will be releasing a series of action figures based on King of Fighters 2000 in the US. The line will include both 12″ and 8″ figures with full articulation and cloth clothes (and plastic molded hair). The prototype line includes 12″ figures of Kyo Kusanagi and Mai Shiranui (with all of her famous “accessories” included), and 8″ figures of Kyo, Mai, Iori Yagami and K’. Figures.com has images of the prototype figures, but the Figures.com site seems to be having some database problems lately, so the page may not be accessible at all times. Blue Box Toys currently distributes the video game based action figures for Fighting Force, Omega Boost, Legend of Dragoon, among others, to domestic retail stores.
