Mirage Figures

[Neo_GFX]

Did anyone else collect these? These were neat as hell. I wonder why they stopped production so quickly after wave 2...

I remember around the time when KH1 came out, Gamestop's wall was just lined with these things... what a glorious time. On that first day I got Riku & Captain Hook and Donald & the Air Soldier. I eventually collected Darkside & Pluto, Goofy & Guard Armor, Simba & Requiem, Genie & Bandit, Peter Pan & Soldier and Heartless Riku & Jafar. Now they are just sitting in a random toy bin in my basement, which was a terrible idea because they break fairly easily, esp. wave 1.

There is also some cool concept art:

I have never heard of or seen these before! O:

I remember these! I wasn't able to get any of them, but I remember always wanting them (I swear that these were in the instruction manual for vanilla Kingdom Hearts I, but it's been awhile since I looked into that). I remember that they were selling figurines of the main cast, Maleficent, even Cloud IIRC.

I'm assuming some of these images are not finalized promos. A long time ago a friend donated his collection. Series 1 is in the blue boxes, and out of those I had the Sora + Jack Skellington, Riku + Captain Hook, and Kairi + Maleficent packs. I think I have Mer-Sora and Ariel from Series 2, which are the boxes with the red packaging.

Thought I'd try to look up more about this and well...

Sora: Kill me.

Yeah, they are a little on the creepy side. Definitely novelty items. xD

Yes! I remember something along those lines.

No Cloud. :frown:

Correct. The last three images are just concept art, which I thought was interesting because The Queen of Hearts and Mickey were initially supposed to be figures.

The Heroes and Villains packs; not sure if those were going to be mini-figures or full-sized.

I should've included this. This is what the wave 1 figures actually look like:

My god Sora looks creepy. He looks like a killer toy who is gonna sneak up in your bed at night, and whack you in the head with his Keyblade.

Thanks a lot for the mental image...:frown:
