Figma Link action figure coming to the U.S.

This month’s issue of Game Informer has a page devoted to gamer’s goodies and gift ideas. One of those goodies advertised is the Figma Link action figure. This figure is priced at a special price of $49.99 at BigBadToyStore. This figure from Max Factory is being advertised along with a Samus action figure, but are currently only on pre-order. But you can pre-order a standard version, or for an extra $2.00 you can preorder the special collectors’ edition figure.

The Link figure is one from Skyward Sword, and comes with movable parts, replaceable parts, and a stand so that you can pose him in any way you want. He also comes with different faces so that he can be just the way you want him for your collection. Here is what Game Informer says:

“Two of Nintendo’s most iconic heroes may be mute (We’re trying to forget about Metroid: Other M), but we can’t shut up about how cool they look on a bookshelf. Japanese toy manufacturer Max Factory is finally releasing its line of high-end Figma figures stateside. Figma’s plastic joints make each figure very flexible, so you can twist these five-inch figures into a series of awkward poses and Link won’t be able to articulate a single word of complaint.”

As mentioned earlier, a collectors’ edition will be available. You must be wondering what makes it collectors’ edition, well, here is BigBadToyStore’s chart of differences:

The item is brand-new, in mint condition, and sealed inside mint packaging.

Packaging condition is verified to be 90% mint (C9), or better.

If you upgrade, our warehouse will carefully choose items in mint condition.

Each item will be wrapped in a clear poly-bag for protection during shipping.

Collector’s Grade items are meant to be displayed in their packaging.

The item is brand-new, in mint condition, and sealed inside its packaging.

Packaging condition is verified to be 80% mint (C8), or better.

Standard Grade items are suitable to display in the package, or to open.

I will definitely be pre-ordering the collector’s edition figure and adding it to my collection. Is this something you would get? Is it too expensive or just about right? Let us know in the comments!
