Konami Figure Collection: Skygirls - Preorder

In the year 2071, robotic and highly malignant cell masses known as Weapon of Raid Machines aka WORMs have decimated the human population of Earth. Faced with extinction, mankind is forced to use unspeakable weapons to combat the WORMs but in the process, the continents are split and Antarctica sinks beneath the ocean. A massive loss of life is also suffered but the WORMs are extinguished.

Over a decade after the devastation, a contingent of WORMs is spotted amassing and preparing for another destructive wave. To combat the threat, three girls named Eika Ichijo, Karen Sonomiya, and Otoha Sakurano are recruited to battle the WORMs. The girls are known as Skygirls who pilot mighty exoskeletons (read: mechs) which are capable of fighting the WORMs. Konami has started preorders for a set of Skygirls Trading Figures which measure 12cm tall and are packaged randomly in boxes of 10. There are five standard figures (shown) and 1 secret figure. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late January 2008.
