Etrian Odyssey was a first person RPG sleeper hit from Atlus which garnered quite a bit of praise in May, 2007, Fans of the series can now prepare to preorder a female paladin figure from the game from JBox. This new Japanese import item announcement coincides with the release of the game’s sequel Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2: Shoou no Seihai. The figure won’t be available until May 2008, but eager fans can place an order with JBox to guarantee that they get the item.

The figurine is of the blond, female paladin from the game and she comes with a sword and shield. She is a fully assembled and painted PVC figurine and is about six inches tall. This figure is a bit pricey, coming in at $50, but if you’re a real fan of the series then it might be worth splurging on. It is pretty cute, and looks identical to the actual character in the game.

I adored the original Etrian Odyssey, and I’d be one of the first to start rooting for a translation and localization of the sequel. That being said, I doubt I’d buy this figure. It seems a bit excessive. Now if they had an F.O.E. plush toy, I’d be all over that. Just thinking of a F.O.E. reminds me of Iosys’ F.O.E. flash cartoon. Now I’m going to be humming that catchy little jingle and singing “F.O.E.! F.O.E.!” all night.
