Inferno is also very well done and both come with awesome Dreamwave artwork on the collector box. (Pre-orders will be processed over the weekend and shipped Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday)

SOUL OF CHOGOKIN GX-13 DANCOUGAR: We have received more of this very popular figure from Bandai. Priced at $224.99 its a very complex and detailed figure with tons of transformable die cast parts, one of the coolest figures around.
