"Farscape," which follows astronaut John Crichton's extraordinary adventures after his Farscape One module is thrust through a wormhole and ejected on the other side of the universe, airs on Sci Fi Channel on Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Chiana, played by actress Gigi Edgley on the series, is one of the first "Farscape" action figures to be developed by Toy Vault, the manufacturer of Farscape action figures. The new Chiana figures will be available via Entertainment Earth in September 2000.

Chiana, an impetuous young thief, is the latest addition to the spaceship Moya's fugitive crew and to the regular Farscape cast. Young, sexy, street-smart and mercurial, Chiana rebelled against the bland, mind-controlled conformity of her fellow Nebari and fled her home planet. To survive in the Uncharted Territories' roughest hellholes, she's had to lie, cheat, vamp and scam. Fortunately for her, those are her four best moves.

"We are proud to exclusively offer this Chiana action figure to collectors," Jason Labowitz noted. "We are grateful to Sci Fi Channel and Toy Vault for this tremendous opportunity, and believe Chiana will enjoy widespread success on the retail level based on the popularity of the character and on the increasing demand for 'Farscape' product on the collector fan level. As always, we will ensure that our mint-condition-only figures are delivered to consumers in the most reliable and expedient manner possible."

Since it was established almost five years ago, the company has enjoyed a 230% average annual sales growth rate and is known for anticipating and fulfilling the needs of consumers around the world. Co-founder Jason Labowitz, in fact, helped found the business as an outgrowth of his own passion for collectibles, and both he and his brother remain committed to running the company from a collector's vantage point.
