Square Enix Pulls the Chrono (Toy) Trigger
 |
?I don’t have the manic, blinding love for Chrono Trigger that a lot of nerds do — I enjoy the game immensely, but I only have room in my heart of hearts for Final Fantasy VII — but for those lot of nerds, you should be immensely pleased to know that Square Enix is finally finally making some quality Chrono Trigger merchandise. These four “Formation Arts” trading figures are due out in October and can be pre-ordered over at Entertainment Earth for $40 for the quartet; I’m betting this means that Square will displaying actual Chrono Trigger Play Arts action figures at SDCC. Anyone care to bet against me? (Via 16bit)
