Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery Report

See? They need their trusty Dhoulmagus pwners!

Following the acquisition of the Hagure Metal Arms, here, I present a partially-complete list of all four volumes of the Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery.

Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery was released as a four volume separate toy line by Square-Enix from December 2004 to early 2006. Each weapon is of high quality, exquisite detail, faithful sculpting and accurate painting. One blind box retails for 525 Yen and usually comes with one to two items at most with some having three items; a brick and wood-like display stand and a card detailing the weapon's name and the rest of the items in the set.

Yes, they're compatible.

These weapons about 1/10 scale and are fully-compatible with the Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts Action Figures and the Full Metal Alchemist ones. Other than that, these would look nice with any six to seven inch action figures (Revoltechs, Figmas, Busou Shinkis, Marvel Legends and what-not) of your choice. However, some Bostick or Faber Castell Blu-tack is required if the figure lacks some extra pair of hands.

Having chronicled (partially) all of the Legend Items Gallery in this entry; it makes me wish and wonder if Square-Enix would push through with a fifth volume in the near future as more great items needs to be materialized in glorious plastic form. It's been three years, yes, but I'll still be hoping for the Dragovian Sword and Armor from Dragon Quest VIII.

...and Square-Enix. Please stop making those Play Arts Arms sets if they're just going to be exclusives. It's annoying.
