BifBangPow and EntertainmentEarth.com are releasing a bit more information about their recently announced KISS 3.75″ action figures. EntertainmentEarth.com now has a teaser mock up image and a write up about the first wave as part of their new pre-order they just posted. As you will recall, when we sat down at talked with BifBangPow back in October they were coy and would not say which incarnation of the band they would use to kick off the action figure line. With this new solicitation comes the news that the first wave will be based on their costumes from the Alive IIalbum.
The image below is just an artwork mock-up, but you can see the outfits, the instruments and we can get a hint at the articulation. I suspect we will see actual figures for this wave next month at Toy Fair.
Here is the write up on the EE page: (you can see it and pre-order them HERE!)
