Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Magician Figure Recreates Original Pose

A new figure of the Dark Magician from Yu-Gi-Oh has appeared in Taito online crane game machines. This is the newest work from the Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game Equal Arts series of figures. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]

The Dark Magician figure stands at around 200 mm tall. It’s also striking the same pose as it was in the OCG (2nd in the TCG), in which he’s holding out his staff while placing his other hand against his hat-like helmet. While the card art depicts him standing in front of a magic circle, the prize figure does not offer a background of said circle. Since this is a prize figure, you have to obtain it through the Taito online crane game, or via a proxy service.

Dark Magician (or Black Magician) is one of the more iconic monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh series. It was Yugi’s ace monster for most of the anime, as well as a key character in the final arc of Duel Monsters. It also spawned an entire archetype, which includes the equally popular monster, Dark Magician Girl. As such, both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl often appear as figures or in crossover goods with other properties.

You can obtain the Dark Magician figure from Yu-Gi-Oh from Taito online crane games.
