Corgi, who announced last year a merchandise partnership with Nintendo, have revealed the first of their Zelda-themed items. The item in question is a ”Force FX” Master Sword replica, which is 30″ long, very detailed, and has “Electronic LED lights and sounds for “real” battle action”.
While the item does look like a good replica, I can’t imagine many people willing to pay the £80 ($160) would be buying it to “play with”, so the addition of LED lights and sounds seems a bit silly. Check out the pictures from the 2008 UK Toyfair here. You may also be interested in their huge range of new Mario action figures. I’m interested to see if a Zelda action figure series is also in the pipeline, but no word as of now.
No word on where any of these items will be sold, but you can probably expect to see them crop up in your local GAME or Gamestation, who are always eager to stock Mario and Zelda goods. Those outside the UK may have to resort to costly internet importing if waving a wiimote around doesn’t make them feel enough like Link as they desire.
