JACKSONVILLE, FL— The Family Guy Christmas Train is rolling straight from Quahog and into your town for the holidays! HamiltonAction.com, an exciting new web site offering limited-edition figures and collectibles, announces the first-ever Family Guy Christmas Express featuring all of the major Family Guy characters.

This exciting Family Guy First Edition begins with Stewie Griffin in “Victory Shall Be Mine,” a train engine featuring Stewie ready to activate a detonation device. Stewie is followed by several train cars filled with explosives including one with Brian Griffin and Lois Griffin in “No Bones About It” and Peter Griffin and Death in “Death Is a Laughing Matter.”

The Family Guy Christmas Train is the first-ever series of Christmas collectibles featuring your favorite Family Guy characters, from Stewie and Brian Griffin to Chris Griffin, Cleveland and Quagmire. Each Family Guy Christmas Train figure is limited to 95 casting days, is hand-numbered, and includes a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Each train car is priced at $29.95 each.
Created by Seth MacFarlane in 1999 at the age of 24, the Family Guy follows the clever parodies of a lower-middle class family and their martini drinking canine.

Although Family Guy was canceled two years ago by Fox, the show’s passionate fan base refused to let it die. In response to the show’s continued popularity in syndication on the Cartoon Network and a record number of DVD sales, Fox recently announced the return of Family Guy and will be producing 35 new episodes set to debut in early 2005. This exciting announcement marks the first time in television history a canceled show has been renewed based on the success of DVD sales.
