FF VIII Guardian Force figure update

[08.02.99] » Bahamut, GILGAMESH, and others join the ranks.

   Four Guardian Force figures -- Cerberus, Ifrit, Odin, and Siren -- are already scheduled to arrive in North America later this year, courtesy of Palisades. Those four aren't the only summoned monsters to appear in plastic form, however. Another set of four figures is also available in Asia, and should find its way to the U.S. as well.

   The four new Guardian Force figures include Final Fantasy mainstays Bahamut and Shiva, as well as newcomer Diablos and none other than GILGAMESH himself. Some minor allies are also included with the other figures -- Siren includes a Cactrot (aka Sabotender), Cerberus comes packed with Rinoa's dog Angelo, and Ifrit includes the infamous Master Tonberry. All the two-legged figures include a circular black stand as well.

   All the figures also include another, more unusual pack-in -- a unique piece of the Ragnarok, FF VIII's futuristic airship. Purchasing all eight figures and acquiring all eight parts enables consumers to put together the complete vehicle. Gotta catch 'em all!
