Aerith Gainsborough Sculpture Arts - New, In Stock

Kotobukiya releases a magnificent Aerith sculpture which depicts the beloved sacrificial heroine from Final Fantasy VII in stately repose... or perhaps she's practicing a form of prayer. Or maybe she's releasing White Materia and summoning Holy to stop an unstoppable force.

The Aerith sculpture measures 43cm or 16.92" in height and nearly that much in width. A sturdy stand is included for mounting the sculpture securely atop a mantle or table. NCS recommends only shipping this item within the USA with UPS Ground to avoid incurring onerous shipping charges.

From the Distributor

Aerith is portrayed in the Sculpture Arts statue praying at the water altar of the Forgotten City - capital of the Cetra civilization. Utilizing her White Materia to summon the force known as Holy in order to combat the Ultimate Destructive Magic: Meteor, as formed by the evil Sephiroth's Black Materia. Truly one of the most dramatic and memorable moments from the Final Fantasy saga!

Some scenarios to conquer include a hotel inferno, a sinking luxury liner, and a mall that's in the throes of a major disaster. The early levels are straightforward but later levels introduce the use of items, the rescue of hostages, new techniques, and puzzles to solve in order to reach the exit.
The NDS game features a Wi-Fi ranking mode where players can compare their scores against those of other gamers. «NCS Game Notes»

Yggdra Union - New Import, In Stock

Originally released on the Gameboy Advance in 2006, Sting ports their strategy-adventure game to the Playstation Portable. Updates include new scenarios, new characters, and newly recorded vocal snippets to enhance the battlefield drama.

Castle Paltina has fallen, the King has died, and Princess Yggdra runs away to fight another day. Yggdra Union starts off with a tutorial which introduces players to the background of the game and teaches warriors on the ways of proper battlefield manners. Take on the role of a stray thief named Milanor who meets up with Princess Yggdra as she mounts concerted attacks to eventually retake her castle from the invading army. Since Yggdra wields the golden Gran Centurio sword, it shouldn't be much of a fight...

In the first mission, players activate five tactics cards and head for an overworld map where the party is represented by squat team members. Battles are called "Unions" in the game where the hero engages an enemy by pressing the "START" button and then selecting a target enemy such as the assassin, the bandits, and the Valkyries in the tutorial. When the battle begins, the party is seen rushing onto the battlefield from the left and hacking the enemy on the right with a pre-emptive attack. Once a few enemies are killed based on the strength of the initial attack, the remaining enemy force counterattacks and then both sides stand at odds...

RAH Phantom of the Paradise v2.0 - Stock Clearance

Brian De Palma wrote and directed a doozy of a film in the 70s which apparently still haunts the dreams and visions of someone at Medicom. Mainstream cultural references to the "Phantom of the Paradise" have been scarce in the past couple of decades but that didn't stop Medicom from knighting the 309th Real Action Heroes figure, "Phantom of the Paradise Ver2.0." The Phantom Paradise movie is a study on the depths of the human soul and a cautionary tale to song writers anxious to break into the music industry. The protagonist is a composer-cum-janitor named Winslow Leach who's music is stolen by a music producer named Swan. The RAH figure features the leather-clad Winslow who wears a mask (removable) to hide his disfigured face... which looks a tad maniacal. The figure ships with extra hands, a blade, and a toilet plunger.
