FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Figures Toy Company to Release Retro 8 and 12 inch KISS Sonic Boom Action Figures
Tampa, Fl- January 12, 2013 -Finally!! "You Want It You Got It" "The Hottest Band in the World" "KISS"
KISS Collectors, Rock Fans get ready to rock again. Figures Toy Company
is about to introduce KISS Series 3 action figures, reminiscent of the
action figures first released in 1977-1978 by the Mego Toy Company.
These figures will have rooted hair, cloth clothing, 16 points of
articulation and are based on the highly successful 2009 “Sonic Boom”
album.
CFO Anthony Balasco states, "I never understood why 8 inch KISS action
figures were not produced back in the 1970's when The Mego Toy Company
had already released the 12 inch versions. Our third release will have
the retro look from the 1970's but updated with more detailed costumes.
Future releases will cover different time periods in KISS's 40 year
musical career from 1972 to 2012". Look for a first release action
figure of Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. Collectors will be able to find
KISS Series 3 at toy stores, comic shops, music stores and on-line
retailers starting in Late January 2013.
The deal was brokered by Live Nation Merchandise, KISS's exclusive Worldwide licensing agent.
