Director Darren Martin also informed us that there will be at least three more figurines from 9th Edition coming later this year, including Elvish Champion and Serra Angel, plus one “skeletal dragony thing” that has yet to be revealed as part of the set on MagictheGathering.com.
I assume that the skeletal dragony thing is Hypnotic Specter. All of the other figurines are pretty cool, so the specter should be awesome as well.
is the art for hyppy really a skelletal dangly thingy? wow, I hought they would just gow with the classical, floating armour thing but whatever, I look foprward to getting a foily playset of em.
If its the old Hyppie, I'll get it. But I doubt it is.......:cool:

Hang on, I need my gibber-to-english dictionary. Ah yes, here it is,

Well, the old Hyppie certainly wasn't a skeletal dragony thing, now was it?
Well, this doesn't really tell us anything new, other than that they seem to think Elvish Champion is a marquee card now...ugh. Good catch though, it would definitely be cool to get one of these statues.
I've seen the 8.5 Tails and Horobi figures, none of which caught my attention to a great deal, but it would be nice to have the 9th Hyppie - see how it compars to the good artwork.

Try looking around the forums. We have the art for the Specter.
Anyway, this seems like a cool idea. I won't get it cuz I've pretty much given up on magic irl for lack of money, but awesome nonetheless.

just when magic seemed to be almost legitimate, they introduced figurines.
sure, you can fantasize about serra angel, but I'll be here in the real world, groaning about the incredible lameness of the entire scheme.

If I'm not mistaken, they tried this once before when Champions came out. (it was in the scry or inquest back then) There was Meloku, Horobi, Konda, Kumano, and Dosan. (Not 100% sure on a few of them, but I'm about 98%.) I don't believe that they sold very well though.

“Should I be worried? He does seem dangerously cool, like a young Lando Calrissian, with a dream.”
Yes they have been making these for years and everytime they bomb, and after that wizards go "hmmm they sold VERY badly....Lets plan the next set of them!!"
I'm pretty sure that the main reason they bomb is because of marketing. I've never seen MTG Figurines being sold at any store... It might help sell them if they were available in locations that fans of the card games might visit frequently...
I think the main reason the figurines bomb is that unless its a figurine which adds to a magic players personal collection(like a serra figure for a serra collector) most magic players would prefer to buy more cards.
I would totally buy an Infernal Kirin Firgurine. It would also be cool to see an Ink-Eyes, Yosei, Kokusho, Sundering Titan and Triskelion. I would buy any of those.

“Should I be worried? He does seem dangerously cool, like a young Lando Calrissian, with a dream.”
I think they've already made an Ink-Eyes figurine... I forget who made it, but wizards at one point had it in their Arcana. Kiki-Jiki is also among other figurines that they've made... and I'm almost positive Ink-Eyes is one of them.
As for the rest... I'm not sure, but I don't think those exist.
i saw the ink-eyes, melouku, kiki-jiki ect.. on e-bay a while back and trust me, they are nothing to get excited about. i would have to say the best looking one was probally kondoma. Its the olny one within porpotion on the card. Meluku's legs are about 3 x the size of his upper torso, his fingers are too long to look natural and by that thy are about hte size of his upper torso. 8 1/2 tails dosent even have the illiousion that he is floating, since the tails nearly take up all of the space on the model. Kiki was desigend so he looks like he is showing little or no action. Not worth the $40 they are choosing to sell them at
Edit* and i jsut found this http://www.first4figures.com/aboutus.htm do you really want a figure desigend with the quality of that? And thats the product they show off too.
WOW!...Those look really....... Terrible!. Bad Proportions and they don't look that great as a whole. Kiki-Jiki and Meloku could have made so good too.
