On a related note, PDP is known for making accessories for game consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, so creating a full-size replica of the Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts for Disney is definitely new territory for them. It isn’t the first officially licensed Keyblade replica ever made, but it is the most affordable. It’s also the perfect accessory for the Sora backpack.
PDP’s Keyblade is made from EVA foam and measures 35-inches long with a detachable chain and Mickey medallion. You can pre-order it on Amazon right now for $39.99 with shipping slated for October 15th. That is significantly cheaper than the Bandai Tamashii Nations Proplica version that sold for $185 at release and now fetches $250 to $400 on eBay. Granted, that version did have built-in sounds and lights.
The PDP Disney Kingdom Hearts Sora’s Kingdom Key Keyblade is covered by Amazon’s pre-order price guarantee, so you won’t be charged until it ships and you’ll automatically get any discounts that occur between the time that you order and the release date.
On a related note, don’t forget that Square Enix is finally bringing Kingdom Hearts III to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 29th (hopefully). Standard, Deluxe, and digital versions of the game are available to pre-order on Amazon now with a $10 Prime credit. The official synopsis for the game reads:
“Kingdom Hearts III tells the story of the power of friendship as Sora and his friends embark on a perilous adventure. Set in a vast array of Disney worlds, Kingdom Hearts follows the journey of Sora, a young boy and unknowing heir to a spectacular power. Sora is joined by Donald Duck and Goofy, two emissaries sent by King Mickey from Disney Castle, to stop an evil force known as the Heartless from invading and overtaking the universe. Through the power of positivity and friendship, Sora, Donald and Goofy unite with iconic Disney-Pixar characters old and new to prevail tremendous challenges and persevere against the darkness threatening their worlds.”
