COLLECTOR'S SHOGUN WARRIORS

"Invincible Guardians in miniature! Shogun(R) stalwarts 3 inches tall. All have die-cast metal parts, arms that move." 

 

The line has been expanded from the original six to a full ten with the addition of:

#2994Voltus V

#2995 Dangard

#2996 Leopardon

#2997 "17"

Yet even with the expanded line the assortment has the same count/weight. They apparently just give you fewer of each to make room for the additions.

Non-US Releases

• Dangard also appeared via Mattel in Europe in the wide box.
• Speculation:
• Bandai may have released the figure via the GoDaiKin line with extra stickers on a backer card 
• Bandai may have released Dangard in a skinny box with Kana in some Asian Markets, also sharing the extra stickers from the GoDaiKin release
  

John's Notes

This is one of the harder Collectors Shogun Warriors to find for some reason.
