Like the first six books, they are going to be re-released with lenticular covers and updated references as well. This is hopefully a good sign that the sales from the May relaunch of Animorphs #1 &#038; #2 went well (although we currently do not have the exact figures to know for sure).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/images\/books\/relaunch\/front-covers\/am05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/images\/books\/relaunch\/thumbs\/am05.jpg\" alt=\"Animorphs #5 (Lenticular Edition).\" align=\"left\" height=\"140\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" \/><\/a>In other news: A larger cover for Animorphs #5 is now released via Amazon. Please remember, however, that this is still for the <em>first<\/em> Marco. Although Scholastic has confirmed that this Marco will be recast from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiracdelest.com\/blog\/?p=2347\" target=\"_blank\">whitewashing controversy<\/a>, they have still not yet updated the new model through the official site.

These are flash banners that show off Jake&#8217;s morphing animation from the first book, and I have converted them to GIFs for us (See: <a href=\"https:\/\/hiracdelest.com\/newsfeed\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/am-banner-ad.gif\" target=\"_blank\">Ad #1<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"https:\/\/hiracdelest.com\/newsfeed\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/am-box-ad.gif\" target=\"_blank\">Ad #2<\/a>). These are apparently being shown on various sites, however I have only seen them on Scholastic&#8217;s official site myself. Please do let me know if you see them anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Lastly, I have also gone ahead and updated the <em>Missions<\/em> section to add #7 and #8 to the relaunch list, and I have updated the <em>FAQ<\/em> to reflect this change as well.
