Ho-Oh and Lugia Figures When You Preorder

[Roy Karrde]

Starting February 1st, select retailers will be offering the same Ho-Oh and Lugia figures that were available in Japan for pre orders of the Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver games. Both figures were crafted from the renowned Japanese figure making company Kaiyodo.

"These unique figures are our way of thanking Pokémon fans of all ages for the enthusiasm and support they have shown for the series," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions include new features and enhancements that players will instantly appreciate, and we think these terrific figures will help to get fans even more excited about what is in store for them on March 14."

Thanks to Kotaku for being first with this news.
