The Riku figure is the Kingdom Hearts version, not Kingdom Hearts II. A little unusual to track back, but regardless the doll looks great. Still no release date set for Riku figure. The Sora figure is listed with a December 31 2008 release date in most online stores. If you plan on buying it, I recommend shopping around!

Well it's summer again, which means we're welcoming back a KHI tradition in the Digital Media Section. It's our fourth AMV Worm, where some of our most talented AMV (Anime Music Video) Makers that we have to offer help out with the cause. This time our theme will be the Square-Enix franchise. The clips can cover anything from Kingdom Hearts to Final Fantasy to Fullmetal Alchemist. You can view our past three worms be visiting The Worm's thread to get an example of what it's going to turn out like.

For those of you who don't know exactly what an AMV Worm is: it's just a compilation of small AMVs from some artists around our site. Very easy to do since the clips usually are just 30 seconds long. It's a great way to get involved and active in our community. You can sign up for the worm, find our past ones and the rules/guidelines by clicking on the image below to get to the thread.

Sources for various Square-Enix clips are provided in the thread. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in there as well.

Come join in for one of the biggests Worms KHI has done yet. Positions are filling up fast, so be sure to join today to get your preferred spot. You only have two weeks to sign up.

For those of you who are interested, make sure to visit the thread by clicking the image above or in the following link. Hope to see you soon.

For a while now, people were debating on whether or not Kingdom Hearts: Coded would end up even making it to the market with the other two titles. But Famitsu did update, pretty recently, with some news dealing with the game.

Looks like Coded is still in development. Nomura is still adjusting the motion and feeling of the characters to fit in with the Kingdom Hearts atmosphere, but thinks it's been reproduced sufficiently. The team is making a test edition for the game, but it will be different from the final version they'll end up using.

Don't you just love juicy rumors? Hype for the yet to be announced Kingdom Hearts 3 seems rampant, and this month has been no different. With E3 just around the corner and a slew of gaming events in the following months, Kingdom Hearts speculation has gone wild. Nintendo Power Magazine, one of the largest Nintendo related magazines in North America, provides a hint for the cover story of their next issue (pictured above). It appears they did so in the form of a riddle, and fans believe that signs point towards Kingdom Hearts 3. So just how do some believe they "cracked the code"?

So what does KHInsider think of all of this? It is likely false. Not only do we have three Kingdom Hearts games already on the way, but Square Enix has made no mention of a Kingdom Hearts 3 anytime soon. The possibility of this game being Kingdom Hearts is slim to none. Do not get your hopes up. Although, a Kingdom Hearts title for the Wii would be really interesting!
