Dark Horse Deluxe Expands Line of Domo Products!

WORLD DOMO-NATION!

Dark Horse, Toy2R, and Big Tent Entertainment Unveil New Line of Blind-Box Figures Featuring Japanese Internet Sensation Domo

At Toy Fair 2009, Dark Horse unveiled plans to produce a set of blind-box figures scheduled to release this July. The 2.5” figures will be created in conjunction with Toy2R as part of their Qee program, and will feature the likeness of Domo, the iconic viral superstar who was first introduced to the world in 1998 by Japanese Broadcaster, NHK and is represented world-wide (ex- Asia) by Big Tent Entertainment.

Packaging is "blind box," in which individual figures are packed in small boxes; the only way to know which particular figure is inside a particular box is to purchase and open the box. In the Domo blind box assortment, figures are sold in counter displays of 15, and each display box of 15 figures is further packed into a master carton of four cases.

In addition, each individual figure contains a component of a special “Build-A-Domo” transparent figure. By assembling six of these components, a new variant figure is created by the consumer. Each counter display contains enough pieces for two of these; each master carton yields ten of this special item when all the pieces are assembled.

Chase figures are being produced in addition to the common figures in the Domo assortment; with a total of 15 different versions with various levels of scarcity. See the graphic for exact details

Blind box packaging with the addition of chase figures creates an element of chance in purchasing the Domo Qee toys, and prompts some collectors to trade figures among themselves to complete their collections.

Starting from a very unusual place as an advertising icon, Domo’s unique look and personality has catapulted the character from 400 television spots in Japan into one of the Internet’s biggest sensations, sparking worldwide recognition. As the poster child for personalized, user-generated content, Domo has been able to transition from popularity within Japan to a worldwide following, spawning countless fan-made images, websites and videos, along with a first-ever licensed product line including plush, toys, fashion and collectibles selling at major trend retailers nationwide. Most recently, Domo has taken America by storm, being featured prominently at major retailers all over the U.S. and even starring in his first worldwide manga.

EVERYONE ON EARTH MUST OWN I KILL GIANTS THIS MAY!

Image Comics releases the trade paperback everyone who breathes oxygen needs to buy this May: Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura's I KILL GIANTS!

19 February 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - This May, Image Comics releases Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura's complete I KILL GIANTS trade paperback while declaring everyone on the planet Earth should buy it since it's so damn good.

"I'm really flattered Image would make that kind of claim, so much so Ken and I are humbled beyond words and hope people like it as much as Image thinks they will," Kelly said. "Ken certainly did a phenomenal job with the art and I like to think it's pretty good as a whole. Then again, there's a lot of people on Earth. Maybe only half the population should buy the collection and recommend it to friends if they think it'll appeal to them. That's still a lot of people. At least three billion."

I KILL GIANTS tells the heart-wrenching story of Barbara Thorson, a girl whose own family can't tell if she's insane or actually the giant slayer she claims to be. During its seven issue run, fans were won over by Joe Kelly's impeccable storytelling and JM Ken Niimura's charming visuals, creating what the publisher believes will be one of the shining stars in its strong line of perennial collections for several centuries to come.

Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson said, "While Image prides itself on its entire line of comic books, graphic novels and trade paperbacks, we feel I KILL GIANTS is a title all six billion people on Earth will enjoy, whether they're already comics fans or not. I'm personally buying six copies to hand out to various friends and family members and I get them for free!"

I KILL GIANTS (MAR092427), a 184-page black and white tradepaperback for $15.99, will be in stores May 13th, 2009.
