With last week's release
of the USA version of Dragon Warrior 7, this week would be as good as
any other to unleash a gang of DQ monsters on the American public. They're
soft, small, colorful, and for the most part, round. Each monster comes with an
Enix product tag and a chain which is connected to the monster by way of a
cloth loop on the top of it's head. Each plush will relieve you of US$6 or you
can opt to purchase the complete set of 10 monsters for US$50.
