Square Enix's Valkyrie sculpture was originally scheduled to ship in November of last year. Then it got delayed to a future date. Japanese vendors re-opened preorders for the item last night with a new ship date of mid-late May 2008.Classic Norse mythology (or a bastardization thereof) re-entered popular culture in 1999 with the Japanese release of Valkyrie Profile on the Playstation. The game sold well and we figured that was that. Countless games come and go and die, never to be seen again. Fast forward nearly a decade later and Valkyrie Profile is still steeped in today's gaming culture with sequels, merchandise, and toys. Kotobukiya adds another toy to the Valkyrie Profile ranks which ships in a few months. When built and fully assembled, the Lenneth sculpture measures 43cm or 16.92" in height and nearly half that in width. Pricing is set at JPY55000 or US$475 from NCS.
