First Collectibles From Shane Acker’s ‘9′: Action Figures Series 1 Case
First Collectibles from Shaner Acker's '9'
Entertainment Earth have announced the first collectibles from Shane Acker’s animated sci-fi/fantasy film 9. It’s a well timed announcement because today is the day the film has been released.
EE are advertising these as collectibles from Tim Burton’s 9 but perhaps that’s only because director Shane Acker isn’t as well known yet as producer Tim Burton.
This is also a weird collectible in that the film features 9 characters with ‘9′ being the pivotal character, voiced by Elijah Wood. Yet the first collectibles on offer come in an ‘Action Figures Series 1 Case‘ that features 8 individually packaged action figures. The figures are not specified as yet.
Personally I find it a little annoying to see 8 action figures in a case from a movie about 9 characters. It seems to me a commercial ploy to make us buy more than one case to ensure we get all the figures!
Sadly, it will probably work because these rag-doll characters are cool to behold and the film is so highly anticipated that I’m guessing collectible dolls from it will be in demand.
Don’t know anything about 9? Then watch the trailer:
Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about these action figures – what they are made from, how tall they are, etc etc. I imagine further details will come to hand at a later date.
For now if you’re keen to get them you’ll have to take a bit of a lucky dip approach and pre-order from here.
