Pre-orders have begun for a variety of Dark Magician Girl statues from First 4 Figures, expected to ship in Q4 2023.
First 4 Figures are releasing six different variations of this Dark Magician Girl statue, their third Yu-Gi-Oh! statue after Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician. Each has the same pose, but there are three different editions, each in either a Pastel or Vibrant colour scheme.
Standard Edition ($139.99 USD)
Exclusive Edition ($169.99 USD, but can be preordered for $154.99 USD until December 15)
The exclusive edition includes a light-up Dark Magical Circle, as opposed to the static one featured in the Standard edition. It can be set to two different light-up modes.
Definitive Edition ($419.99 USD, but can be preordered for $379.99 USD until December 21)
The definitive edition forgoes the Dark Magical Circle in favour of a plume of smoke, a large pink heart, three of the Kuriboh brothers, and a more detailed base containing Dark Magician Girl‘s statistics (Level, Attribute, ATK and DEF). The smoke, heart, Attribute and Level stars can be lit up in a similar fashion to the Exclusive Edition.
In addition, both the Exclusive and Definitive Editions can be ordered in combo editions containing both colour variations.
Exclusive Combo Edition ($314.99 USD, but can be preordered for $284.99 USD until December 21)
Definitive Combo Edition ($799.99 USD, but can preordered for $749.99 until December 21)
ravegrl also noted that according to First 4 Figures CEO Alex Davis, they weren’t allowed to use the original hexagram in Dark Magician Girl’s jewel, though even Japanese merchandise have moved away from using the hexagram.
The fourth statue, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, is reportedly due in early 2023.
