JAKKS Pacific World of Nintendo Legend of Zelda Toys In Action

In this world of retro revival, no stone is left unturned in the hunt for the geek's almighty dollars. Anything from our childhood is fair game, making these days heaven for toy collectors in particular who are enjoying action figures based on properties that have been poorly served over the years. Legend of Zelda is one such property, with scores of fans that surface the second someone yells GANONDORF!! JAKKS Pacific understood the power of Zelda from day one and made sure your pal Link was in their first wave of World of Nintendo action figures. You answered by clearing the pegs of him for MONTHS. Even today, well after the series launch, you'd be hard pressed to score one in the wild (or on the pegs in normal people speak)...at least around these parts. JAKKS continued to show their love by showing off prototypes for a giant Link figure and an 8bit Link plush alongside a Deluxe Boxed Ganondorf at Toy Fair this year. (click here to drool over those!) Today we'll take a look at the Link action figure, who you may be hunting the second you're done reading, and the Deluxe Ganondorf, which is due in stores...soooon....

Toy Fair 2014: Nintendo Steals Center Stage

It amazes me that, every year at Toy Fair, not only are the Mario Brothers present somewhere on the show floor, but they've been presented in a new format, new scale or delivered in a way we've yet to see. It is like the slowest roll out of an amazing, evolving toy line! Few other licenses can boast as much. Today, We'll visit with JAKKS Pacific and Tamashii Nations to check out their contributions to the immortal worlds of Nintendo.

For the first time ever, JAKKS Pacific has teamed up with Nintendo to bring fans the latest and greatest toys featuring favorite characters from Nintendo!
