Children and adults in Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan have been entertained by Vicky the Viking and his escapes since the 70s when Runer Jonsson's children's book was adapted for television. Vicky is a young Viking lad with blonde locks who's neither strong nor especially seaworthy but he's an invaluable asset to his Viking cohorts thanks to his quick mind and snappy ideas.
Japanese manufacturer Aoshima has started preorders for a Vicky figure set (8 characters total) and a Viking Boat model kit. Please note that assembly is required to put the boat together. The set is limited to only 500 pieces in Japan and pricing is set at JPY6000 or US$58 from NCS. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late October 2007.
