Season 03 (Part 1) The Red Demon (13 Ghosts)

About this Figure

BigBadWorkshop and Fresh Monkey Fiction present Operation: Monster Force - Season 03 (Part 1) "RED MOON RISING" The notorious warlock Johnny Spectre has died. His private collection of coveted ancient artifacts, including The Staff of the Crimson Moon, is now up for auction. This exclusive invitation-only event has attracted a who's who of the mystical underworld. Among them is Doctor Rand, who is convinced the staff holds the secret to making his Kiloworg werewolves unstoppable. Also in attendance is Mr. Legacy, the foremost historian of the arcane. He and Declan Van Helsing suspect the Forgotten King will attempt to claim the rare red moonstone contained in the staff. If so, it would be the first time Monster Force has advance notice of where the Forgotten King will appear - so they set up a heavily armed ambush. But what Declan doesn’t realize is that new players are infiltrating the auction as well - those who want to buy the staff, those who want to destroy it, and those who want to steal it. What will happen when the Red Moon rises? Each 1:12th Operation: Monster Force action figure includes over 20 points-of-articulation and includes accessories such as: alternate portraits, interchangeable hands, plus an Operation: Monster Force gravestone base for easy posing and display. In ancient Japan, a Queen by the name of Himiko united all the island kingdoms into a nation called Yamatai. She ruled in peace with wisdom and powerful magic, and when she died, she was buried in a great mound, the location of which was lost to history. Prior to her death, 13 warriors pledged their souls and swore to protect the High Queen even after her death. Each warrior’s soul was embodied in an enchanted mask that would possess whomever put it on, allowing the warrior's spirit to take control of the wearer. Throughout the ages, these masks have become known as The 13 Ghosts of Yamatai. When the Forgotten King unearthed Himiko’s Tomb in the streets of Tokyo, some of her guardians’ graves were exposed as well. The mask known as “The Red Demon” compelled a tax accountant to pick it up from the rubble. The Demon then took possession of the accountant’s body and mind, grabbing his ancient swords and attacking the Apophis Legion. When the Forgotten King teleported away with the queen’s sarcophagus, the Demon joined Operation Monster Force in order to return the Queen’s tomb. As a persona, the Demon is honor-bound and proud, but also a pragmatist. He was accustomed to leading men in battle, keeping a level head in high-stress situations. He has been the source of most of our knowledge on the 13 Ghosts and has continually demonstrated himself as the most reliable of the ones we’ve met so far. That said, though he respects our chain of command, he does not recognize it. The Red Demon sees himself as an ally, but not a member of our team, and has no problem reminding us of that when he doesn’t like a plan.
