[HR][/HR]It's been a long, rough journey for [B]Toytribe/Kaiyodo's Assemble Borg[/B]. The line of interchangeable futuristic action figures was first announced back in late 2007 (see our story [B][URL="https://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=cjtnews2.setup&category=cooljt&topic=5&show_article=80"]HERE[/URL][/B]). A year passed until we finally received a hands-on look at the first production figures released in Japan (see our story [B][URL="https://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=cjtnews2.setup&category=cooljt&topic=5&show_article=113"]HERE[/URL][/B]). But where to find these cool collectibles in the United States?

Toytribe/Kaiyodo sends word, that starting today, Assemble Borg can now be purchased through their new official North American website - [B]AssembleBorg.net[/B] - via an Amazon.com account. The four figures available for U.S. collectors are the same four intitially offered in Japan. Branded as an original Revoltech release, Assemble Borg includes the heroes [B]Mr. Assemble[/B], [B]Baron[/B], and [B]Cyber[/B]. A sleek vehicle called the [B]Barrels Speeder[/B] is also available. The figures are retailing for $29 each with the motorcycle priced at $39. Each figure consists of 14 Revolver Joints for a wide range of poses, interchangable hands and a wealth of unique weapons. As mentioned, all figures are interchangeable with each other, allowing for countless creations.

Also of interest for Assemble Borg fans is a [URL="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/403459563/id403459563"]free iApp download[/URL] and new [URL="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Assemble-Borg-Revoltech/176688549018912"]Facebook page[/URL].
