LORD DRAKKON POP! FIGURE
Diamond Distributors have announced an exclusive Lord Drakkon Funko POP! figure, featuring an alternate-reality version of Tommy Oliver from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Diamond and Funko are partnering to bring fans the figure limited to 30,000 pieces worldwide. This collectible figure of the Power Rangers tyrant is scheduled to hit shelves in January with a retail price of $11.99.
"We're excited about this Lord Drakkon Funko POP! and we think fans will be too because he's such a captivating, yet twisted character," said Erique Watson, Diamon's brand manage for toys.
"Right now, there isn't much Lord Drakkon merchandise available and this will give fans a chance to get their hands on an exclusive collectible associated with the Power Rangers' Shattered Grid storyline, one of the biggest comic book events of this summer."
