Other Info:
This set of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness figures was originally released in Japan in 2004. Later on, a 'USA Edition' set of the figures was made available in the USA exclusively from the RosenQueen online store starting 17th March 2005, when the RosenQueen store was officially opened. Only a limited quantity of 500 sets were made available in the USA, and they sold out in three days (by 21st March 2005). The 'USA Edition' was also available in Japan at Wonder Festival Winter 2005. It's unclear how many sets were available at the event, but they sold out within two days.
The USA and Japan sets were both packaged similarly. They came in a large, white outer box, with each box containing eight smaller blind-boxes, which each then contained one figure. The text on the Japanese outer box is blue, where the text on the USA edition is orange and in English.
The set is made up of 9 different figures, with five of those figures being released in 'rare colour variations', and another one of those figures being a secret figure, making a set of 15 figures all together. The standard set included:-
- Laharl
- Etna
- Flonne
- Prinny
- Red Mage
- Archer
- Knight
- Ronin
With the rare colour variations including:-
- Big Sis Prinny
- Blue Mage
- Green Mage
- Ace Archer
- Samurai
- Vanquisher
And the secret figure being:-
- Pleinair
The blind-boxes for these figures comprised of a solid clear plastic box, which could have been used to display the figures inside. However, the boxes were made too short, and as a result, only the prinny figures are able to stand upright inside them. This was corrected for the version 2 set of Disgaea palm characters figures.
