These fully poseable action figures are of excellent quality and include extra limbs and weapons to bring out certain likenesses of their anime counterparts. The figures range from 13 to 17 cm high, painted carefully to the smallest detail. Each individual figure is described below. All are available now from your comic or specialty toy stores.

Edward Elric Edward Elric, the " Fullmetal Alchemist" of the series title comes with three spare arms (one of them his bare right arm) and a metal spear. Edward stands about 13 cm tall donning his red alchemist cloak.
Alphonse Elric This terrific action figure depicts the armor pretty darned accurately too, down to the peculiar nature of Al's gloomy eyes. The only bonus included with Al is a spare pair of open hands. Al stands about 17 cm tall.
Winry Rockbell Winry Rockbell is the mechanical genius of "Fullmetal Alchemist"; -- the mind behind Ed's auto mail arm and the one who puts it back together when he messes it up. She comes dressed in her usual comfy coverall, and with a spare head (the spare is wearing a do-rag), two spare pairs of hands (one set open and one set fisted), and two big wrenches. Winry stands about 15 cm tall.
